"The Celine Dion Sucks" street is funny because it's just ripping into one person but "quebecqueer street" and "rue des pussies" isn't funny unless you're a 12 year old kid and is pretty offensive in my book although I personally couldn't care less what Triumph says. Don't you think the reaction would have been pretty similar if some French comic visiting the 'States had passed a similar comment about Americans?

Are you kidding? Say anything negative about America and you are a treasonous knave, worse than Osama bin Laden, and your music gets boycotted. Then again, criticism of America is real, and therefore intolerable, unlike petty insults by Conan.

If every reacted in a manner that those "Quebecqueers" did, I think Conan's apology line would be endless! His show insults so many people of all flavors. They should have known better than to invite Conan and his crew over to Quebec had they truly known his style of comedy. NBC shouldn't return the money because they paid and received the service. NBC has every right to keep the money if the contract doesn't state satisfaction guaratee. 😛

You know what? Fvck Canada... Conan's probably never going to bother booking there again... Their loss, us New Yorkers don't mind seeing his show live...

it's only a few hour drive from South Western Ontario, I can do that too 😛

no, you should stay in Ontario. don't come over.

Quebec seperatists do suck. Canadians love Conan, its just the government people saying bad things about him.

The entire audience booed when he mentioned quebec...

It was a very lame skit. The only funny part was the one in the resturant. I mean, mindless bashing is always easy, making people laugh is hard.

 

[eakers]

its funny because if you watch any of the canadian comedy shows (i love monday report) they pull crap like this all the time and nobody gets upset.. but then again, its one thing to make fun of your own then to have americans pointing and laughing.

i bet if it came from a show that wasn't american they wouldn't have gotten upset.

damn americans. 😛

Ya, seriously. I mean why would anybody have a since of humor. Its far better to act like a stuck up little bitch and act like everything is below you.

that is, but what about "celine dion sucks street"
"quebecqueer street"
that's blatantly making fun of Quebec and its people, and it's not right.

Oh come on, that's funny 🙂 If you weren't quebecen (are you?) you'd probably chuckle 😉

no, i'm not...and i thought it was funny as hell... but the fact is, it's not acceptable for him to come to canada and do it.... seriously.

But wasn't Conan in Toronto? I was under the impression that most of Canada feels that way about Quebec?

Alexa McDonough, a legislator for the left-leaning New Democrats, described the program as "racist filth" and "utterly vile" and demanded the government seek the return of the C$1 million subsidy.

What's that? Like $10?

We're sick of their successive whiny governments who insist on special treatment and cash, yes. We're sick of the minority of Quebecers who figure separating from the rest of Canada in a pathetic attempt to insulate their culture is a good idea, yes. But most of us have no problem with Quebecers at large. Montreal for instance is a city that all North Americans should experience.

Damn French.

there was some pretty bad stuff said..
it was definitely unacceptable..

So change the channel. Someone is always offended by anything.

dumbass.

Dumbass!

 

[thomsbrain]

i don't like most "immature" comedy but i really do think triumph is pretty funny, and the canada thing was no exception. his interview on PBS with Terry Gross was hilarious.

Heh, wrong.

yup, if you pay for a show without knowing what your getting its your own damn fault if things don't come out the way you imagined it. plain ignorance, conan is known for being raunchy, its no damn secret. triumph trashes americans in all his other bits, but attack the french...oh too far...😛 and i thought canada was more progressive😛 bah, they taking a page from the puritanical oversensitive numbnuts bent outa shape over janets boob. i guess they were feeling left out.
