Well Conan ran an apology segment of some sort yesterday. Ill just say it again: Canadians, or whoever was so mad about what Conan was saying, are a bunch of fucking babies. You suck. In that Triumph episode where he went to Hawaii he called everybody in Hawaii a bunch of pussies, and did anyone get even the least bit upset? Hell no. Does anyone in New Jersey ever get mad at all the Dirty Jersey jokes? I dont think so.
Canada sucks so much ass that you can't even make fun of the damn place without people pissing their pants and shoveling sand into their vagina. I've seen it happen over and over again. Fuck that.
Fuck you, Alexa McDonough. Dumb bitch. You're on my shitlist now.Quote:
Alexa McDonough, a legislator for the left-leaning New Democratic Party, described the program as "racist filth" and "utterly vile." She demanded the government seek the return of the C$1 million ($760,000) subsidy paid by Ontario, the province of which Toronto is the capital, to General Electric Co.'s NBC network to help bring O'Brien's show to Canada.
Dude, not all of Canada supports these claims against Conan.
I'm Canadian - not french canadian and I could careless about all of this. It will blow over, people are just going nuts after the Superbowl crap.
Who cares, people are stupid.
I am exactly the same as you, I just live in Canada. So what, I didn't really have a choice did I?
I have no control over what government officials say or do. Nor do I care.
I fail to see how our entire country 'sucks so much ass' because a couple people get offended.
Yea, I know pixel, but two things:
01. It's easier just to say "Canada" than "The Canadians who were offended by Conan's skit" all the time.
02. Look at it from someone down here. We watch Conan all the time, and never get offended. He goes up to Canada for like four days, cracks a few jokes about Canadians, and all of the sudden politicians are calling for his head! And this happens all the time! Like I said, I remember when Pat fucking Buchanan said something about Canadians and the people up there went nuts. Who cares what that asshat says, anyway? Canadians apparently.
So we see it, we see your elected officials going nuts, we see people in Canada getting pissed and defensive everytime we crack a hockey or moose or mountie joke, and we say, man these guys are pussies! And can you blame us?
It's actually just like the Janet Jackson thing. Im sure that many many Canadians thought the whole of the country was offended and shocked by that. When in reality, TOTALLY not the case. Nobody I know even mentioned it to me. It was literally no big deal except for the head of the FCC and stupid news shows who can't get their priorities straight EVER (look at the whole Jacko thing).
What you guys don't know is that Quebec keep trying to seperate from Canada and become their own country. Quebec got mad.
I laughed. I always make fun of them.
I still say let them seperate and perish because that is what will happen. Then just take the land back.
And yes, people do get offended in the states by Conan. Why do you think he has the 12:35AM timeslot? Not because he is super popular, it's so he can do more risque material. Rightfully so, it's funny but people do get offended.
pixel has a point.
Conan's appearance in Toronto wasn't a minor thing. For some reason, it became a major national event. I guarantee you if Conan moved his show to Alabama for a week, ran the show in prime time, did the Masturbating Bear skit, and sicced Triumph on a town of Southern Baptists, you'd get a similar reaction from people in Congress.
Conan flies under the radar here because half the country doesn't know he exists.
I must say though, I'm disappointed in the reaction of Canadians (and in fairness, it hasn't been just the Quebecois complaining). I'd expect a better sense of humor for the country that produced Lorne Michaels, Mike Myers, and the casts of SCTV and KITH.
Diff, your taste in music is good, and your stance on American politics is solid, but you're an idiot for assuming we all want Conans head. You haven't been here to my knowledge, and apparently don't know anything about the seperatists and how fucking stupid they are. It's VERY insulting to be grouped with the arogant French Canadians, Its like me saying you guys are like France because they gave you a statue.Quote:

But seriously, It's good you're well informed about your country, but it isn't the centre of the universe. Try to learn something about other places, everyone else pays America that courtesy.
Canada should just start speaking English like the rest of the US.
You know why they got so offended? Because they're boring and obnoxious.
In regards to "everyone gets pissed off" at something like this I found out something interesting on the Janet Titty Event. Ya know how they made it sound like it was the most earth shattering event that offended a huge portion of people? Around 89 million people watched the Superbowl, you know how many complaints were called in to CBS after it happened? 200,000. That's less than 1% of the people that watched it. Talk about carrying on about nothing. When people bitch like that the rest of us need to speak up louder to defend the sane portion of the population.
