how'd you end up down there anyways Skoorb? aren't you Canadian blood?
Eastern Canada is an economic pitt of vile and filth. A place I'll never return except to drink and party, for that's all it's good for. I had to move, so why not Alabama? It was either that or ON/Alberta.

Man, people take Triumph waaaay too seriously -- it's a stuffed dog with a grown man's hand up his ass. Get a grip you filthy Canadians. :D

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.

maybe you just need a codec

Ya, it might be time for an update. But sounds like others were having the same video problem.

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.

Does French Canadian qualify as a race?

Those French Canadians are such an oppressed and hated race.

The clip is available at:

http://sully.solaristech.com/Triumph_In_Quebec.avi

For the record, Alexa McDonough is a stupid communist (no joke) bitch who I'd like to see get eaten by wolves. The NDP party as a whole is utterly useless. However, that Triumph skit had little to do with humour and a lot more to do with senseless bashing. But meh, maybe someone out there found it funny.

Edit: The clip is encoded with DivX 5.0.3 so make sure you have that encoder installed before trying to play it.

"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?

Actually you guys have been pretty cool about us bashing you for little reason. There's even been a TV show called Talking To Americans that played in prime time and nobody cared.

A) That show doesn't sound funny. (Never been a big fan of Rick Mercer, personally)
B) There is a pretty big difference between asking people to salute premier Tim Horton and calling everyone in the province gay. Wouldn't you agree?

edit - you realize I'm Canadian. right?

Bah, I've already enjoyed this show and I haven't even seen it yet! Anti-French is strong in a lot of us Albertans...

And flappin heads so full of lies
Blame Canada

Since Canada came along
Blame Canada

Blame Canada

And that bitch Anne Murray too
Blame Canada
Shame on Canada
The smut we must stop
The trash we must smash
Laughter and fun

We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before someone thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus
