entwined in bestial romance*

*for those of you in the know, that's a quote from a Dayglo Abortions song, the title of which will soon become apparent.

I love french tv. They get away with stuff that you would never see in North America, at least not in prime time and not on the networks. For example, remember 'Hot or Not' (or something like, it was a terrible show with Lorenzo Lamas in the Janice Dickinson/Simon Cowell role where extremely stupid pretty people would put themselves on display to be rated as 'Hot' or 'Not'. Anyway, there is a french version which was on for like 2 or 3 hours last night called something like 'Am I Sexy'. I could not bear to watch it but it seems to feature a lot more nudity.

I also saw a Quebec show which was actually subtitled in French...I watched for a few minutes trying to figure out if it was a different language (sounded French to me) but no...

But the best was reserved for this morning...there's some talk show which features guests and a panel of regulars. I happened to flip past this morning to see the entire panel laughing hysterically, of course I thought "wow, this looks good, I need to see what they're laughing at". Cut to a shot of two tiny chihauhas (this seems to be a theme this week) humping like maniacs in the middle of the studio. I have no idea how this came to pass. The panel tried to continue but of course were distracted by all the romance in the air.

Finally I think one of the camera guys tried to separate them; however they were stuck together and could not be separated. So here you have, on international television (I think it's aired on TV5 in Canada) two tiny happy dogs stuck ass to ass, being carried off the set by some poor intern while the panel tries not to pee their collective pants.
Vive la France!
