Do the words "shut the fuck up" mean anything to them?
Ah see Mike if your Canadian socialized medicine wasn't so efficient they wouldn't have th spare pork money to pour into Quebec.

If Conan is boycotted then I will counter boycott quebec. that bit was hilarious.

What is going to be hilarious is the jokes they are going to make about Quebec on Monday. Remember how they squeezed several bits out of Eminem when he got pissed off at Triumph, or when he was evicted from the American Idol lot? Quebec is going to get it, because their overreaction is comedy gold.

Predictably, the outrage has come entirely from (federal) politicians and the fucktards at Societe de St-Jean Baptiste (the #1 separatist special-interest group). A majority of Quebecers are pretty thick-skinned/good-humoured. Even the PQ/BQ have been pretty quiet about it (although I wouldn't be surprised if they dig it up come this year's federal election).

wait for the rerun if youre desperate. NBC always re-airs the previous week's show on the "up all night" about 3am. So if you wait till its one week date this week you might be able to still see it.

There's a clip of part of it here (paste it into your media player). If that doesn't work, try accessing it from the main story here.

Or search Kazaa for triumph quebec.

Conan apologizes

Dammit, I guess the network made him sell out. At least it was handled humorously.

Quebec is the spoiled whiny teenager of Canada. Always threatening to move out, never doing his chores, constantly freeloading off the rest of the family, sullen, and emotionally hypersensitive.

They kind of had no choice, with Quebec raising such a stink. It would have been better for them to have grilled them further, but politically GE and NBC had to have Conan make an apology.

Leave it to Conan to apologize and still be funny.

So that would make Newfoundland be the half retarded, scary old grandmother that smells like mothballs and watches the 700 club all day?

Why did he have to apologise he did not insult a nation just a bunch of frogs,and the worste part is some Quebecois are saying racist comments all the fucking time against English-Canadians,Americans...etc,so maybe someone should tell the to STFU or apologise too.
