You guys talk about how senstive we are down here? I've never seen such an uproar over a little rubber puppet.

Maybe we're sensitive because they stole the concept from Ed, the Sock. And in comparisson...I never thought I'd hear myself say this...Ed's got some class.
Hey I like Ed the Sock; but Triumph is pretty damn funny.
Did you seem him on Leno?
or the Bon Jovi concert?
This whole uproar over Triumph's Quebec trip is so overblown. I thought Canadians' were the ones with the sense of humour. Instead everybody is awfully uptight about the hand held puppet and his insults.

In comedy... Isn't there one comedian always ripping somebody's else's act? (or paying a homage to...)
Remember that episode with the Simpsons; Krusty was bitchin about his act being stolen by Gabbo (I think); who had stolen that act from so and so...
Sorry, Can't fully remember what happened, its been a while; Short term is shot thanks to my love of marijauna...

Yeah! Finally we agree on something. Dubya is a pretty funny comedian too.papasmerf said:
What a joke! Great to poop on! I keed I keed ...
Canada is extremely sensitive about its insignificance. It's really that simple.
America couldn't give a shit about us.
And we hate that.
(well, some us...the rest take up residence in the funny).
If it's funny, it works. End of story.

Re: sensitive?

I'm glad you brought this up. I think the aftermath of the boob incident was ridiculous. Even more ridiculous, however, is the Canadian government wanting their money back from Conan because a rubber dog insulted a bunch of crusty old French people.tabber said:

I thought it was funny. What kills me is the Don Cherry incident. Jesus, the guy makes comments about Russian/European players all the time and nobody gives a rat's ass. He mentions European and French players being more likely to wear a visor and the French shit down his throat!! And what's worse, a survey of the NHL players showed that Cherry was right and that it was an actual fact what he said. And they're quick to waste tax payers money by sending in the Feds to investigate him. Madre de Dios!! Adrian Clarkson is spending $5.3B with her 59 compadres touring Europe... why da fuck don't they send the Feds in to investigate her sorry ass???!! Hell, she spent enough on her fricking piece of rug, what's a few billions more on an investigation? Cabron!
To tell you the truth, if certain politicians find the Triumph thing offensive they better start doing some soul searching. Do we not have a government funded network known as the Censoring Bullshit Corporation (CBC) that hosts a show called talking to Americans where Rick Mercer portrays US citizens as stupid because of their lack of awareness of Canada? (news flash...they know little about us because to the average American, we are irrelavant. To the avg American, if Canada fell off the face of the earth it only means that Vermont becomes beach front property) Is Rick Mercer a bigot. Is he anti american...of course he isn't because he's left wing and CBC sanctioned so it's all ok...Hypocrasy bugs the crap out of me.
Or what of caroline parish who stated that she "hated those american bastards" and then issued an only half hearted apology?
As long as a certain seperatist elite and a number of thin skinned politicians are going to say what they find offensive I feel the need to voice what I find offensive......
I find it offensive that 48% of my income is stolen from me by a government that turns around and dumps the bulk of it into a region of canada that will never be appeased
I find it offensive that our GG goes on a boondoggle to "raise awareness of canada" throughout the booming economies of the countries surrounding the arctic circle and takes 53 of her "elite canadians" with her on my tab and the trip comes in 530% over budget
I find it offensive that more money was poured into economic development in Shawinigan during the Chretien years than the provinces of Man. or Sas. (bet that canoe museum is really attracting the tourists)
I find it offensive that no one in our government has the balls to set the agenda with Quebec and tell them exactly what they will or won't get if they seperate (ie all of Ruperts land which they were leased as part of confederation will be lost along with most of their natural resources)
I find it offensive that my late wifes aunt and uncle (because they were born in china and did not go to english schools) were FORCED to send their children to a french language school in Montreal because
I find it offensive that the rest of Canada is not allowed to have a referendum to decide if quebec stays or goes. Prior to the last referendum I was very keen to do whatever it took to get a no vote but since then it has become increasingly apparent that they will never be appeased and will hold this gun to canada's head inperpetuity in order to get what they want all the time...it's time the rest of canada started to set the agenda.
I find it offensive that business in quebec is as full of graft, payoffs and corruption as any third world nation and it is a province and an economy propped up with my money and that my money is being used to support bribes and kickback schemes
I find it offensive that we, as Canadains are so passive about speaking for ourselves and our politicians are so inept at speaking for the rest of Canada that is not quebec that it takes a stupid hand puppet to get a rise out of anybody and it takes a hand puppet with an American hand jammed into it to articulate what many canadians feel
I find it offensive that Jim Pansey's parents were brought together in some lab somewhere and allowed to procreate
