Canada Condemns 'Racist' Conan O'Brien TV Show
By David Ljunggren

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's government on Friday condemned a show by U.S. late-night television host Conan O'Brien that insulted people in French-speaking Quebec and seemed to suggest everyone in the province was homosexual.

Ottawa and the province of Ontario paid $760,000 to help O'Brien -- who appears on the NBC television network -- bring his show to Toronto for a week to boost the city's profile after a deadly SARS outbreak last year.

But the federal government said O'Brien had gone far too far with the show broadcast on Thursday in which he went to Quebec, a province which has had separatist governments for much of the last 20 years and is a delicate political topic in Canada.

"We want to disassociate ourselves from the comments which were broadcast last night because we do not support them in any way," junior government minister Mauril Belanger told Parliament.

At one point in the show, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog -- a hand puppet that is a regular on the show -- said to a Quebecer: "You're French, you're obnoxious and you no speekay English." It told another: "I can smell your crotch from here."

O'Brien's team were also shown replacing street signs in the province with those that read "Quebecqueer Street" and "Rue des Pussies."

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.

"There may be those who would say, 'Isn't this interfering with freedom of expression?' It's not interfering to say we will not publicly fund this kind of vile, vicious hatemongering," McDonough told reporters.

Belanger did not commit to asking for the money back. No one at NBC was immediately available for comment.

The complaints over the puppet's comments come on the heels of a similar uproar following criticism of European French-Canadian hockey players on CBC television by the country's best-known sports commentator, Don Cherry.

The "Late Night" show, which taped in Toronto all this week and featured guests such as Jim Carrey and Mike Myers, was broadcast in Canada by CHUM television, which said it regretted any offense that may have been caused.

"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.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog has landed in trouble before, most famously when it had an altercation with rap singer Eminem at a music awards show in 2002.

Who watched this show last night?
I love Triumph the insult Comic Dog.
Why is it that Star Wars nerds and Bon Jovi fans can take his jokes but these whiney brats can't?

I guess it's the "French" in them.
Faggs.... The truth hurts....

What's funny about this shit is that these muthafuckas are accusing Triumph of being racist. WHAT THE FUCK?
Racist? A white American poking fun of a white Canadian is racist?
Fuckin retards....
:dead:

Speaking from a canadian point of view, i'd have to say the Show was hilarious. I mean folkz need to lighten up a bit, but i ain't gonna go out and say that they were wrong for gettin mad about it. I mean think of it this way... lets say there was a canadian talk show host as popular as conan o brien (hah! yeah right, but lets pretend anyways) Now lets say this guy was to go on air and make fun of the spanish speaking people of the united states in the same way conan did to the french speaking folkz... there's going to be a lot of angry spanish people who get offended.. it's the way society is... However folkz should try and take shit less serious just be able to find humor in shit without getting insulted.

folkz get way to irritated now adays.
