Dear Stephen Colbert, Windsor Is Much Better Than a Rectum

Posted: 11/19/2012 5:09 pm

An Open Letter to Stephen Colbert from Vacay.ca:

It takes one to know one, Colbert.

You sank to a new bottom when you called the fine city of Windsor, Canada the "Earth's rectum." You have shafted Windsor before, naming it the "worst place on Earth" five years ago and now you are fingering it again.

Earth's rectum? Windsor, Ontario? You, sir, need to consult a proctologist. It's clear your brains were sucked out with everything else during your last colonoscopy. Your attempt to taint the City of Roses smells. Here are some enlightening facts about the city wrongly touched by your tongue:

  • Windsor, Ontario went two years in a row without a homicide. Detroit, Michigan -- less than one mile away -- can't go two minutes without a driveby. TWO YEARS WITHOUT A MURDER! And that's your rectum of the planet? We think we know where to flush your words.
  • Windsor, Ontario was one place where African-Americans sought freedom during your country's ugly and prolonged period of slavery. They hid in the crawl spaces of churches and schools and neighbour's homes when white bounty hunters came across the border looking to ship them back to places in the United States that really were full of assholes. Windsor, Ontario will always be a jewel because of that service to humankind and you should be ashamed for ever suggesting otherwise.
  • Windsor, Ontario is home to Motor Burger. What, never heard of it, Stephen? Come on up and give it a try. Motor Burger serves some of the finest red meat you can fit between two slices of bread anywhere on the continent -- and mighty fine craft beer, too (as you'll see from this list).

So, that should be proof enough that Windsor is not the Earth's rectum. But you knew that already, didn't you? As anyone can tell, your attempt to thrust such a label upon an unsuspecting and innocent town has to do with your own childhood secret. The true rectum of the Earth isn't Windsor, Ontario at all, but James Island, a little bit of South Carolina territory whose name is an anagram for ... Jam n Ass Deli*. It is also the home of one Stephen Colbert. That's right, Stephen, you are a Jam n Ass Deli man. Now that the truth is out, we expect you will eat your words. Your ruse to smear the name of Canada's southernmost city is over, Colbert. Leave Windsor alone!

Yours truly,

Team Vacay.ca -- Happy Defenders of All Things Good and Clean About Canada

*Other anagrams for James Island: Ass Lined Jam, Jaild Ass Men, Me Ass n d Jail

Windsor is the armpit of Canada or at very least the sweaty spot behind the knee.

Why are people taking this so seriously? Colbert is a comic satirist. I love Windsor! It is a city with great, down to earth people, but it IS right next to Detroit.

Colbert needs an election or a war, this stuff isn't very funny really.

This article is doing to Colbert what Colbert did to Windsor and to everyone else -- it's having fun, nothing more. And it's using some hilarious verbs to "poke" (ha!) fun at him -- he'd appreciate it. It's funny! The only people who don't get it are the ones who are too dim-witted to take a joke. Sense of humour? If you don't get that this is a funny spin on Colbert's schtick, then you're the one that doesn't have a sense of humour.

No its not.

Clearly he's never been to Saint John, New Brunswick.

This is a character. Anything he says under the guise of the Stephen T. Colbert character is to be taken with a grain of salt. It's all an act people. Lets not turn into a bunch of unknowing patrons who stumbled into a comedy club and then started getting upset with the comedian (Colbert) for doing what they're paid to do.

I like how quickly the list of positives about Windsor went thin and he had to resort to talking about a burger shack, something every North American city has in abundance. LOL.

Get a life dude. Colbert's show is comedy and satire. Not to be taken seriously. When you do take its seriously, it just makes you look bad.

If you think rectums are so bad, try living without one. Everything has its place. Including Windsor.

I believe this guy is trying to out Colbert, Colbert;
"You sank to a new bottom"
"You have shafted Windsor before"
"you are fingering it again"
"Your attempt to taint the City of Roses smells"
"we know where to flush your words"
"the finest red meat you can fit between two slices of bread"
"your attempt to thrust such a label"

Finally ..someone who got it!! Yes, NTodd...he returned the satirical favour. Does anyone really think he was seriously offering up Motor Burger as a defense for Windsor. Hilarious!! I grew up south east of Windsor in an agricultural community...a very nice, very small town. Windsor was our go to place. It was "going to the city" for us. I have fond memories of my times spent there, but I have a sense of humour too and this is satire folks. Don't take it to heart or too seriously.

To all the people saying that these people can't take a joke:
This has nothing to do with taking a joke, they're just trying to get Windsor in the news by attaching themselves to Colbert. How many people know who Colbert is? How many people(not Canadian) have heard of Windsor?

A. Colbert brought up Windsor, not the other way around so how do you reach the conclusion that "they" are trying to get Windsor in the news ?

B. I'm Canadian and I know Colbert well. I also know Windsor. Are you Canadian ? Are you trying to suggest the rest of us are just ignorant ?

C. When you say that "this has nothing to do with taking a joke", it tells me that you're the one out of the loop and probably does not understand the joke. Pretty funny seeing you declare your ignorance right out in the public

Is there a point you were making with your post ? Didn't think so.

Yeah, I'm Canadian. My point was that everyone knows who colbert is, not many outside Canada know that Windsor exists...until now.
Do you live in Windsor or something? You seem to be very emotional over this
01:04 PM on 11/20/2012
Probably Windsor is a rectum. So, I thought, get over it. But then, if you're a city-boosting rahrah hometown type, this is a good opportunity to highlight some civic achievements. Like cleaning up all the s**t in the streets. Good job!
