Ttes claques: What's the big fucking deal, bitch?
Seriously, I agree, a few sketches really are funny. But I've seen so many funnier sites, how did it get that popular? In my opinion, people stay mostly attached by the fact that it's made in French and that it reflects a bit of the Quebecer's manner of speech, cultural references, and there you go. Quebecers are people who are proud of their culture and thus consume a lot of local products (which isn't bad in itself, mind you), but sometimes it makes them close their minds on really interesting stuff from different cultures.
Ok, probably a lot of them don't take time to roam the internet in search of funny sites, but you know... I mean, this site will never be comparable to other great sites of comedy like, for instance:
Homestarrunner
The best page in the universe
Something awful
Ok, I agree, these are entirely different types of humour, and still, they are a hundred times funnier. But they're in english, and thus, we've already lost more than the majority of the audience of Ttes claques, so it's no use. I guess internet can't be as handy when you can't speak english properly. Too bad for you suckers!
But seriously, my curiosity makes me ask you, my beloved Montrealers (or Quebecers, whatever), what's your opinion on the matter? What do you think causes all that madness about Les tits papoutes? What's the secret to success? Why are we here? Why didn't I end this entry two sentences ago?

For those that don't know - Gala takes place each year in Toronto and is something put together by members for all members and SGs to meet and have fun. The event is a closed event to the public. You may only get into the event if you're on the guest list. Each year we have members and SGs from all over North America travel to Toronto and partake in all the Gala events.
This year, we've got an amazing venue lined up (Stone's Place - the world's largest Rolling Stones memorabilia bar) and we've also lined up some awesome entertainment and finally great rates at The Drake Hotel (a stones throw away from the venue) for people coming from out of town.
Right now, it's March and our guest list is nearly full. We only have 65 spots left and we're messaging all the girls in the SG Canada East area to remind them if they would like to come out - to sign up fast!!
When: Friday, June 15th, 2007 9:30 PM
Where: Stone's Place, 1255 Queen St. W (Queen & Dufferin)
If you want to get on the list you need to email oxcerealkillerxo@hotmail.com. in regards to the Toronto Gala (i.e.: the guest list and questions you may have.) .. and should you have any other questions ... just message myself or Cereal_Killer.
J'espre que tu vas bien (et que c'tait pas un signe de ta mort subite)
Je t'aime fort xxx
