Another racist episode, demeaning French Canadians this time. The obvious 'frog' reference and then the display of wild Montreal drivers trying to kill George was sickening. When will it stop? He has insulted A LOT of groups; Nazis, Animals, even Close Talkers. Please - everyone write to NBC - have them take this show off the air. I am sure we could accomplish that in a month.

Seriously, are you joking ?.

There was no racists reference in the last episode ?

Or i really don't understand your sense of humour ?..

I wouldn't expect anything less from a treasonous province such as Quebec. As far as I'm concerend when you leave you can give at the land back to the Indians and pay off your share of the national debt. Actually Quebec is the national debt.

As for Seinfeld being involved. You are one croissant short of a dozen.

Yes. Mike was being serious. Very serious. Very, VERY serious.

The same should be asked of you, if you don't understand that The News Guy is lampooning the extremist side of political correctness.

You got that right.

Where did Montreal come into this? Seinfeld takes place in New York City, New York, USA. As for foreign countries, Jerry or at least one of the gang have been to India, Italy, Burma, England, and California, but I don't remember Canada even coming up in conversation in nine seasons.

Kramer loves Canada! You don't remember?

"Kramer is only interested in Canadian Football" -- Jerry and "I'm taping the Canadian parlimentary session " -- Kramer

The first one I don't remember where it comes from and the second one comes from the yadda yadda episode but it's not the accurate quote; it comes from memory.

There's also another reference to Canada when a guy called Gack who said that he was not going on dates with Elaine when he really was, or whatever. He's going to Montreal and will buy Cuban Cigars but he buys Peruvian I think.

We're there and Insults to French Canadians on Seinfeld? I don't think so and if so none that I can remember.

And Elaine got in trouble for putting Canadian quarters in the washing machines. That's the only other Canadian reference I can think of.

Sam,

you are the loser :).....and the fact that you are using a fake e-mail is another "living" proof of that, I've received 7-8 e-mail of peoples who did understood the irony of my reply to this thread. I've received 2 who who asked me if I was joking....nice questions.

However you were the only loser who did not understand the irony. It's your problem, but yelling at peoples that they are loser won't GET YOU A LIFE. That's a hard reality for you.

If you want to say at somebody "hey Loser"....go outside, the sun is shining. Keyboard won't help you to let you to push you anger against the world.

Flame me, I don't care...I'm only a lurker here...and An e-mail wrote by Sam won't meet my eyes anymore. Anyway you already lost the game.

And for those who did take the chance to write some rude words against the "French Canadians", well...I can only say that only a racist could have answered this thread by a racist reply. Poor being.

And for the originator of this thread...I guess that You were having an orgasm everytime that he was saying the word "frog" !......WOW.....is that a cool word !......

This thread was a waste of time. The original was tasteless ironic's post.However, it was not very dangerous, but those who are replying to this thread by others tasteless posts have lost a BIG WAR: The REAL LIFE.

Now, they are losing the usenet's one. Dramatic.

Montreal drivers...come on !!!!!....I knew it was a joke :) (and a good one BTW)......however, you lost the little ironic game. Poor you.

LOL.

Hey!!!

Forget the French Canadians. Those guys can take care of themselves.

How dare Seinfeld insult frogs!!!! The next thing you know it will be lizards!! And, after that? Snakes? Turtles? Where will the madnss stop?

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!

What is even a bigger outrage is what those fools did to that arcade machine. I was extremely outraged that George sacrificed himself instead of saving the arcade from the truck! This is even worse than Susan's death!

Where will the madnss

I think the madness will stop on May 14, 1998.
