FAXRANT [from Shantal Arroyo, Prod. Manager, Foufounes] Re: the Fiasco @ Ween show. First of all, what everybody should understand is that Foufs does not produce every single show that comes through our venue. Foufounes often gets the blame because other people break guidelines that have been established for a long time. From here to Vancouver, promoters are all aware of these rules. We at Foufs have to respect all of our customers, meaning the ones who come for the show and the ones who come for the discothèque. The public that was at the Ween show were given flyers that stated that Saturday night was the Formula 1 (by the way, Formula 1 has been around for a year and a half now, every Friday and Saturday). We also mentioned that if they wish to attend the Formula 1 evening, they should get a $3 rebate with their already purchased ticket. That we FORCED people out and then obliged them to pay $8 to get back in is totally untrue. We regret having ended that show so abruptly, but there were unfortunate circumstances surrounding the event. [BLEEP!]

F I'm calling to say that, it's true, Foufs sucks! I went to see the Dayglo Abortions and it was a great show, except for the fucking idiotic Foufs BOUNCERS. They ruined the show for me and for everyone else. These pricks just indiscriminately push people around--they're like COPS! I'm never going back there and I suggest that everybody else do the same. [BLEEP!]

F This is a rant going out to the capitalist motherfuckers who organized the Vans Warped Tour. Thirty-five bucks for a ticket and they don't even supply water? By the time Less Than Jake and Pennywise came on, everybody was DEHYDRATED and the mosh was totally shit. I think that $35 from 15,000 people should be enough to supply free water. Yeah, they had these $2 Evian bottles but, man, the fucking fountain was broken. It was 32 degrees--not including the humidex. What the fuck?! [BLEEP!]

F Regarding INCEST in the group Len. Listen, mister, I grew up in Montreal North and, yes, my family had incestuous relations. I can assure you that it is nothing to be so FLIP about. Incest is no laughing matter. If Sharon is really being raped by DJ Burger Pimp, then I can guarantee you that she is screaming inside. I know the Len video that you are referring to, "If You Steal My Sunshine," and I too noticed and was disturbed by the apparent nature of their relationship. Sharon, if you are reading this, please don't be afraid to confront your brother about this abuse. Don't be scared. Go to the authorities! It may save your life. [BLEEP!]

M This is for Chavez the Monkey Boy. Listen Chavez, I remember you and your big-titted sister Luisa from high school and, judging by the way you two freaks used to act, I'm surprised that you have a problem with Sharon and Burger Pimp. Are you sure you're not just projecting your own incestuous experiences onto this incredibly gifted brother-sister team? [BLEEP!]

M This is for the BIG-FOOTED GIRL who is having all those problems finding shoes that fit her. I just want to tell her that I truly sympathize with her predicament but that she shouldn't lose heart. Some of us guys love big feet! Some summer days I will ride the metro all day long just waiting for big-footed girls to get on wearing sandals--or other sexy footwear--just so I can look and appreciate their beautiful TOES and arches and ankles. Your rant turned me on big time--you have no idea how much some of us would like to kiss and lick and SNIFF your big beautiful feet. Be strong and soldier on with the knowledge that your exceptional feet bring pleasure to a lot more people than you probably realize. [BLEEP!]

F I'm a young black woman living in Montreal and there's one thing that really bothers me. Why is it that everyone has to refer to black women as "my sister" or "brown sugar" or "hot chocolate"? Come on, enough with the clichés and stereotypes. Come up with something a little more original, please! [BLEEP!]

M Yeah, this is Jim and I recently hooked up with the HERITAGE FRONT, and now all these assholes are treating me like I'm a fucking maniac. Look, fuckers, I have feelings too and a right to my political beliefs. Canada is not a police state, you fucking assholes, and I have a fucking right to follow my heart and do the right thing. So go fuck yourselves! [BLEEP!]

F What are all these SEX PERVERTS so proud about? A fucking PARADE celebrating mental illness and perversion! What the hell is going on here? This is really fucked up, man. [BLEEP!]

F I can't believe that Tom Cruise is calling the Rant Line. That's incredible, man. And confirming his homosexuality? This is big news, people. I'm surprised that ET and Hard Copy are not all over this. Tom Cruise, a faggot! Amazing!! [BLEEP!]

Next week: Open forum
