Canadians Upset With Conan O'Brien

This story caught my eye.
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.
Apparently O'Brien used his puppet, Triumph - The Insult Comic Dog, to blister Canadian sensitivities concerning homosexuality and hygiene.

My take is that the Canadians should occasionally expect to receive dirt from the US. They sure don't seem to have any reservations about dishing it out.
