Conan The Barbarian

The NYT covers the Quebecois flap over Conan O’Brien here. One newspaper called the Conan sketch featuring Triump the Insult Comic Dog “hateful” and “racist.” A slightly less overwrought member of Parliament said “We can all make jokes about each other but you don’t start telling people in Quebec they have to speak another language. . . . That’s completely unacceptable.” Don’t these people have more important things to worry about?
