Then, I would say, "It's called the phony phone 'eh" (emphasizing the phone "e" phone "a")

The revised version of the joke is, "Have you heard of the ipod?"; "The Canadian version is the pod 'eh"... The Canadians didn't like that one either because they are Canadians... but at least they got it, again, because they are Canadians...

Weed was $20 a gram and you couldn't buy more than two grams, WTF

I can see why they don't like the joke, the joke isn't funny. And it's not because it's offensive ("Gasp, he making fun of the way we speak, eh?), it's because it' has nothing to it.

taking out the "i" from the beginning and adding an "eh" to the end doesn't make something funny. if it was called the aPhone or an aPod, you'd have something.

wanna know a funny joke along the same lines?

Q: How did Canada chose the name of their country?
A: So it would be easy to spell. C eh N eh D eh.
