I have just started watching this edition of the show, the second one I've seen, and 35 seconds in, I see one hugely massive reason to unsubscribe: jingoistic ignorance of other countries. The internet is global, you have viewers outside America. So why act like a jingoist and alienate them?

Since he put up that ridiculous picture of the flags I'm sure he was making joking around about it since pretty much EVERYTHING Martin and Jay do is a joke.

I have no problem with people who don't believe what I do...
I do however have a problem with people who complain about people who say things that they don't agree with..
Bottom line, if you like a show, watch it.. If you don't, then don't watch it.. No need going around giving your opinion about why you don't like something... I believe Martin said something similar to this on the 2nd or 3rd episode of Infected about some guy who watched Martins podcasts and then went on like 3 or 4 blogs and wrote how much he hated it.
Fact is, this "network" is based in America. So if other people outside of America don't like what is said, simply don't watch...
I myself watch many podcasts from outside the U.S.... Sure mostly Canada, but also Japan and Britian. And sure, I don't get their humor sometimes or understand the popular topics or red button issues that they are talking about in there home land.... But I still watch it because I like the show... I don't go on their forums saying...
HEY YOU GOT AMERICANS WATCHING THIS!!!! YOU NEED TO ADJUST YOUR STYLE TO FIT MY PERSONALITY!!!!
That would be just stupid.
And by the way what part did you feel alienated from? Do you like baby dolls that say religious sayings? Personally I am a Christian. I have seen those Jesus and other religious "action figures" and I think that those are horrible. I don't think you should turn your religious figures into toys. Just doesn't seem very respectful. Just one guys opinion though. Did you find Thetruckersatwar website offensive. Because frankly Martin wasn't promoting that website, he is as shocked as all of us that that domain exists. He just reported what "news" he found online. So what specifically did you find Martin saying offensive.... Keeping in mind that 3/4 of the things Martin and Jay say are jokes. And if you don't watch the show regularly than you don't understand there sense of humor.

You know, watching this episode is sort of sad now. It's kind of disheartening to see this because this episode aired on Wednesday, and it's sad to think that it's likely that none of them knew that only five days later, they'd all be out of a job.

You're kidding, right?
Obviously, you haven't been a lover of this show, otherwise you'd know that Martin just finds stuff on the web that is either weird or funny, and makes jokes about it.
Secondly, if you did follow the show and love it, you'd see that it's been CANCELLED for months now.
So, stop watching if you like...because it isn't on anymore anyway.

Yea because we should revolve our lives around other people and cultures, that in general scrutinize and hate us. Phht get over your selves.









suggestion
Hey, Martin, just a suggestion. I like Tweet Beet. But you need more risk with it....Do it more like you did back on unscrewed...
Have 2 people or more compete against each other, and actually have prizes... Even if the prize is just a cheap trophy and the winner only gets to keep it if they win everytime or esle it goes to the next winner.
And the winner for one week as to come back next time to defend their title.
Something like that would make it a bit more interesting than just having Sarah do it every time.
