Good Thing They Don’t Understand French

It’s almost illegal to make fun of Obama, but this video takes it a step further.

This from our publicly funded media. Now it’s starting to leak out after almost 6 months.

The odd thing is that it took this long to be exposed… making you wonder what else goes on in French that none of us can understand.

And does our famous Human Rights Commission stand on this one?

Can you imagine what would happen if this ran in the US? It would be the equivalent of flushing a Koran in Iran.

Anyone remember “Triumph the insult comic dog”. I think Conan was run out of the country over making fun about the French.

The Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council said it found “nothing redeeming in the allegedly comedic notion that an American president should be shot, still less that this would be easier to achieve because of the color of the president’s skin. It was a disturbing, wounding, abusive racial comment.”

The council said the comments and sketches breached regulations, adding they went “too far in terms of Canadian broadcast standards.”

The producers of the show denied the skits had been racist, saying they had meant to mock the characters making the offensive remarks.

Complaints about Radio Canada are usually handled by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). In this case the CRTC asked the council — which deals with commercial channels and has more experience in handling such complaints — for advice.

The CRTC, which is due to conduct its own probe into the show, does not have the power to fine Radio-Canada but can issue a public reprimand.
