"homour"
Completely unintentional.
And now we return you to regular viewing...

yeah dave, I do agree completely, its just, i think some lines shouldnt be crossed, more that individual's feelings are at stake in this issue.
But in a sense, if comedians cant push the boundaries, who will ? .. hehe

Are French Canadians their own race?
P.S. Don't take a hand puppet too seriously.

If I joke by saying I can smell your crotch from here cos your black or spanish I'd like to know the reaction it would cause.
Personnaly I did not give of damn cos acording to women my crotch is sweet, lovable and smell like a charm but I understand why some are shock, but on the other hand french canadian jokes at the expend of english canadian and american day in day out on the local tv but english don't hear about it.
peace

mimio in a sense yeah, we have our culture that in not like france's and not like canada's (and i bet ontario is not like british columbia) we have our own language (wich is somewhat slang french hehe), we are disctinct like every other culture. but we have issues that are still unresolved and that I dont think it's appropriate for a foreign comedian to mock (plz note i did not call him american, if he was mexican it would be the same), and we kinda do take jokes (look at me! im not offended ;-) i just hate this chess game im working on lol ...)
even quebec comedians are carefull around language and culture issues hehe

the only sad part is Joe Bloe American is going to take these jokes for truth - as he is too ignorant to know the difference.
but its still all in the name of a good laugh..

are people from quebec known for being pretentious to other canadians? The vibe I get is that there is some sense of superiority coming from quebec... am I wrong?
- benfal990
mrdobolina, no there is no sense of superiority coming from Quebec. We're just ''fighting'' to protect our culture. Nothing more. (iam talking about the puppet, iam talking in a general way)

^^correction:
''...iam NOT talking about the puppet...''

everyone in europe thinks the usa is like a jerry springer show. and that everyone is a redneck.
or all those movies that portray communist countries as the bad guys (james bond, and other crap). korea was protesting that last movie that put them in bad light.
people need to focus on better things like actually working while at work! haha

Repus, I'm glad you're so pationate about your province but don't you think what Alexa McDunnah (sp) went a little far with her comment as well?
The Simpsons have been making fun of the French and Canadians more and more each year. As much as you want your own "race" you still admit to being Canadian, right? So how is this not any more offending to you? Did the first sketch of the week about the mounty with a back bacon hockey stick and a beer igloo offend you as a Canadian too? I doubt it.
Look, I laughed hard at that sketch. I've been all over Quebec and I remember on several occasions I couldn't even get food or gas because I was english. Did I cry about that? No, as I find that much worse than a joke but that's life. I saw the humour in the jokes as it's a stereotype. Stereotypes CANT go away as that's what people always base their experience on. Just like I was stereotyped in Quebec as an english outsider who's trying to get gas.
Sorry, I just don't see the difference because now it comes your way.
I'm not attacking you as your points are valid, I just find this stuff getting out of hand much like sex and violence is destroying society. To be fair these things MAKE our society.

"We offer our apology and assurance that it is never our intention to air programing that offends any of our viewers," the station said in a statement.
Teletubbies 24/7....wait, I bet those are offensive to someone as well.
- Dublao70
If anything this issue has only helped the French Canadian cause. I didn't know anything about a separate culture until today. Go ahead and speak your mind, but realize that stuff like this only brings free publicity (and it was all jokes).
- chokethefat0
he's no racist..we are friends in fact, i watch him every night on teley and we talk to each other thru the screen..
'oh..is that a naked nipple I see over there.. how shocking! it's pure scandalism and outrage.'
clearly the gov and media need to chill and focus instead on more serious matters like umm..homeless people and illtreated ones in the 'post' modern society and capitalist cities?! i'm just an obsolete citisen afterall
- benfal990
