American posters you have no idea how annoying this shit can be.
How To: Watch Comedy Central Videos From Canada
The relationship between Comedy Central and Canadaגs Comedy Network is the worst example of what can happen when rights owners assert copyright on the internet, based on national borders. If you are not aware ג like Hulu, TV.com and others ג Comedy Central videos will not play in Canada, but itגs worse. ComedyCentral.com ג the entire domain ג is unavailable to Canadian IPs! When you try visit it, you are redirected to comedynetwork.ca.
I found a workaround to this buried in a comment thread on reddit. Firefox users only:
For Canadian viewers, if you are using firefox, install the following addon:
http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/967 then:
1) In Firefox, Go to tools->modify headers
2) From the drop down box on the left select add
3) Then enter: גX-Forwarded-Forג in the first input box without the quotation marks
4) Enter: ג12.13.14.15″ in the second input box without the quotation marks
5) Leave the last input box empty, and save the filter, and enable it

6) Click the גConfigurationג tab on the right then proceed to check the גalways onג button.
Close the Modify Headers box and it should work.

I bet it works in other countries but haven't been able to try it. If you live elsewhere give it a go and post in here if it works.
*edit*. FML, hulu won't work. But at least comedy central does; as well as some other previously blocked ones.
