Conan O'Brien apologizes to Quebec
 

I didn't see that episode, but did he go too far? From the story below it sounded like his normal comedy. Did anyone else see it and were they offended by what he had said?

No he didn't go too far.

The English French thing is really sensitive in Canada. Don Cherry got in trouble 2 weeks ago for saying French Hockey players were wimps, so the skit comes at a bad time. The media and government makes a big deal out of everything. Nobody really cares. I guess its comparable to the Janet Jackson thing. Everyone made a big deal, but nobody was really offended. In this case however, I think quebeckers were offended, but half of them don't even want to be in Canada, so it's expected. I think it was parliment who made the biggest deal though. They talked about it in the House of Commons. They called it racist and such, but every Canadian outside of Quebec thought it was funny. You have to let that stuff roll off your back.

And don't worry about Alexa McDonough, she's crazy. The NDP are basically communists. Nobody listens to her. She's not even the party leader anymore, this guy is:

EDIT: Canada is the fucking best, your welcome zoner.

Paine...I've had enough of that shit. Shut yer fucking cakehole.

ban him, im am deeply offended

i edited it so dont piss all over yourself, take it easy. Its just my opinion.

Keep it up, fun boy. I'm in a real good banning mood today. mad:

Well, why don't you state the facts you base your opinion on, Paine?

What did he say, I missed it. oOo:

i live in canada, always in Ontario, been to quebec city, and got called "touriste" in my own country... the first time i ever voted was in the referrendum to keep Quebec part of Canada, but i still dont get it.... Where do they think they are gonna go? France sure as hell doesnt want them so i dunno... the funny thing about what Don Cherry said is that its true, he said only europeans and french guys wear visors, well guess what, 50% of visor wearers are from Europe, 25% french, and 25% other, so whats the big deal? its pretty funny, the woman in Quebec said that he was implying that French hockey players are not tough..... but who are all the best players? Euros and french guys... so maybe cuz she is french she misunderstood what Cherry was saying or something...

reminds me of a joke:

3 canadians find a lamp with a genie in it...
he says they can have 1 wish each...
the 1st guy is from Nfld. he says "i wish all the cod was back in the Atlantic!"
poof! his wish comes true...
the 2nd guy is from Quebec, he says "i wish der waz a 100 foot wall all de way around la belle province, to keep everyone else out!"
poof! his wish comes true...
the 3rd guy is from Ontario, he says to the genie "how tall was that wall?"
the genie sys "100 feet high and all around quebec, why"
the ontarian says "ok, fill it with water"..... biggrin:

um...no

if they cant take a joke F*&K them. It was a comedy bit and it was VERY funny. Lighten up Canadians it was a joke!

If you don't like Conan then there's a special place in hell for ye....

I wasn't offeneded.

I thought Triumph was hilarious, personally. I can poke fun at ourselves all day, but don't step up in my face and say "You fucking suck because you're Canadian".

That's a good way to get your ass saaaaaaaaaacked.
