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.
Oh, I see what you're saying. It IS funny, and yeah it probably was too far to come to Canada and do that. While he makes friends with some canadians, he at the same time offends the froggy ones!

Of course nationality != race, so I don't know what those silly officials were going on about.

something like that i guess..yeah, it seriously was funny... but it was overboard.. people DO get pissed at anything, but this time, a LOT of people have gotten upset.. and i totally understand why.

Gotta love someone who complains about being offended and then immediate offends someone else. Hypocrisy at its finest.

dumbass.

Seems like you could use a little humor in your life. Lighten up, dude.

btw I think that if the American gov't paid for a show to come, and all it did was rip on a state, they'd have to apologize, whether they privately laughed or not.

He probably will because of the suits at NBC but, inside, he's probably dying to tell them to kiss his pasty-white ass!

He's said worse about others, and I've never heard of a backlash. What does that say about you if get all up in arms about a RUBBER DOG?!

and you know what, who cares, as long as he says he is sorry the people will be happy :)
and again, i want to stress that i did think it was funny ( I don't personally care if it rips on Quebecers, I visit Quebec every summer and I love it there ) but I still do think it was mean of him to follow through with a lot of those jokes and things. that's all.

If only the offensive jokes were funny... I don't see how anyone older than 13 can find his stuff funny.

It's definitely prettier than any urban-sprawl city down in the South, that's for bloody sure. You can't even find a nice place to walk around in Birmingham.

Yes, it was in another thread today... I'll try to find it. Oh, btw, I couldn't get the video to work, just sound, but maybe that's fixed now.
