The wrecks are amusing, but the commentary was not. I understand that the intention was not malicious, but it was thoughtless.<br /><br />Oh, and before you all start on me:<br /><br />1) Yes, I understand and am fully capable of detecting sarcasm. I feel that in this case it was ill-used and caused offence to some people. Myself included.<br /><br />2) I read Cake Wrecks all the time and Epbot too. Hell, they're in my top sites. The reason this caught me off guard is that Cake Wrecks is generally very funny and far from rude. Jen usually goes out of her way to make fun of the cake and not the wreckerator. I would have liked to see her apply that principle to this post.<br /><br />That is all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-28662121904267443062010-07-16T09:18:05.080-04:002010-07-16T09:18:05.080-04:00@Anonymous-7/16-3:21a:

People are offended because Canada is constantly the butt of jokes and it's quite tiring to constantly here the same ones again and again, especially when they're so farfetched (I hate winter, don't live in an igloo, and I say "huh" more than I say "eh").

They aren't out to slander, offend, sling mud at, insult, hurt, embarrass or upset people. I mean, read the rules for commenting and sending in pictures for goodness sakes.<br /> They posted an homage to Canada for their Independence Day because, chances are, someone would have been offended if they'd missed it. <br /> They aren't cruel, mean spirited people and I think they have shown that through the years. They deserve more credit than what they're being given.<br /> It's easy to be a critic when thousands of people aren't breathing down your neck, expecting briliance each and every day.<br /> Their blog is fantastic and it has brought a lot of laughs to a lot of people and has even been a vessel to create new friendships. If they were out to be cruel, things like that wouldn't bloom from their talent.<br /> My family loves you Jen and Hubby of Jen ;). We pray for you and we catch a wreck every chance we get.
