Quebec Pluriel wants apologies

Quebec Pluriel, which recently asked for the removal of the clip entitled "the cannibal" on Tetesaclaque.tv now requires public apologies to the Black community.

The organization alleges the clip feeds prejudices against the Blacks. It judges insulting, defamatory, disrespectful and racist the remarks and the representation which are conveyed in the clip. It is particularly offended by the association of cannibalism with the black community and Kunta Kinte which is the central character of the best of the novel Roots. Roots is a 1977 American television miniseries based on Alex Haley's work an afro-American writer.

Since April 18, Quebec Pluriel has asked Salambo Productions and Bell Canada to discontinue the transmission of this clip on support media, Internet and other media.

Are all French speaking canadians represented or tagged worldwide with the humor used by the silly characters? It is quite obvious that the French canadian community has accepted the humor used in all the clips to laugh at oneself. It is too idiotic to even imagine one would interpret it as reality! Then? Remove them all!

Têtes à Claques is a Canadian humour website.

Mira Foundation and Têtes à Claques, Woof!

For the first time a Tetes a Claques clip will be seen on Canadian TV. Don't miss the new clip to be aired Sunday, April 22, 2007, between 6:00 p.m. and 10 p.m. on French TV, Television Quatre Saisons (TQS), for MiraStar's Telethon aimed to raise funds for the Mira Foundation.

MIRA pursues the objective to bring greater autonomy to handicapped people and to facilitate their social integration by providing them with dogs that are fully trained to meet the needs of each individual. Many services are offered and trained guide-dogs are made possible for the Blinds free of charge.

The event will be entertaining and informative and to help raise funds many Quebec artists will take part in it. To help raise funds, Michel Beaudet of Tetesaclaques.tv has created an exclusive clip meant for the Foundation. Woof!

According to several reporters that were presented with only few seconds of the clip during the Press Conference in Montreal, the sneak preview was enough to have them laughing!

Until the next big news...posted below on April 9, 2007

Did you know the creator of Têtes à Claques sent 7 DVD copies with TAC clips to local producers, never to be followed up by any on this project? Apparently, there is a sort of pride hanging around in publicity agencies and some have missed their call on original material. Too bad!

Michel Beaudet obviously listened to his own instinct and changed the model!
That is just to say, do not wait for others' approval you may get nowhere!

PASSION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!

There's an English saying within the French Quebecer community taken from

Elvis Bob Gratton: TINK BIG! STI'E!


Good luck to you all with all of your projects small or big!

Vertigo Pops NOW available in Canada!

I had my first Vertigo Pop! It's a hit. Mmmmmm! I spotted them in a coffee shop in Hull (Gatineau, Quebec). I begged the owner to sell me the whole box containing 25 candy pops. All 3 flavors are Delicious and Sweet.

The lollipops are a nice size - not too big, not too small. They are a combination of two sided candies: one side is a rich chocolate and the other side is a swirled hard candy. They come on a brown plastic stick that matches the color of the chocolate so well that I thought the stick was edible, too.

Everyone that I showed the candies to immediately recognized Tetesaclaques and brought a smile to their face!

I definitely recommend these to everyone.

Prank Call & Willy Waller

Here is something to make you laugh! It's a prank call to sell Willywallers. It's going around on the net. Once again, it's a sign of Têtesàclaques.tv popularity within the French speaking community.

MP3 File : Justiciers Masqués

Tetesaclaques.tv Blacklisted!

Here is a great remix with the song "You Make me Crazy" and Têtes à Claques' famous one liners being used in everyday situations by millions daily. Enjoy!
No doubt their success with the animated characters is stricking. However, since last December, thousands of students and employees cannot reach the most visited Quebec French-speaking site. Tetesaclaques madness reaches not only kids but it made its way to Quebec and Ontario French School Boards and the Federal Government. They decided to block access to the site, judging that certain remarks conveyed stereotypes that goes against values and educational mission. The school boards' prohibition also applies to the YouTube site which publishes millions of videos each day.

In addition, the Federal Government decided that this censorship would apply to all their personnel. It prevents employees to surf on that site during working hours. It apparently slows down productivity and networks!
