I don't think OE was trying to be offensive here (yes, I got a blue button report.)

Dictionary.com:

b*tch n.

1. A female canine animal, especially a dog.

That's why you're allowed to say it on TV.

No, of course I wasn't trying to be offensive. Just trying to hold onto the territory of the original meaning of the word. Sorry to anybody who was taken aback by it.

Well, it was a pun, so it was technically both meanings, both as a curse and as a description of the dog.

It was a pun. Al goes as far as suggestive innuendos, not blatant swearing.

The part that always makes me laugh in GIF is when Al says "When I tell a stupid joke they laugh HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! And laugh ......).

His accent reminds me of John Cleese in The Holy Grail (I fart in your general direction! I pick my nose at you!). Then he starts throwing the animals off the tower... What a great movie!!

1) They hate it because he is bashing the French.
2) They love it because he is bashing the French.

Dangit, why does everything have to be all political these days?

Al was just doing what he always does, picking at them in a good natured kind of way. I don't understand why some people just can't sit down, shut up, and lighten up a little. Geez.

I agree. Why make this a bigger issue than it really is? Most people poke fun at the Canadians (even Al does at times), and no one defends them. He's just having fun. I don't think it's offensive.
