The passage to the JT of TF1 of our national Stromae still causes a lot of ink to flow. Its title L’Enfer in response to journalist Anne-Claire Coudray’s question has been repeatedly debate, criticized or even insulted (by Booba) Where parody. Before, no doubt, the time too many?
“I am in favor of a 4th dose of vaccine or… a 12th dose of Tranxène”, dixit Stromae in the sketch
TF1, the channel that reached out to him for its buzz on his suicidal thoughts, finds itself at the heart of a controversy on Twitter with a daring caricature. Indeed, this Thursday, January 20, 2022, in the program “C’est Canteloup” presented by Alessandra Sublet with the comedian Nicolas Canteloup who parodies JT’s, an edited video of the singer with the rope around his neck was broadcast live ( see video above around 1’40 and 4’30) and with two suicidal subtexts. “This morning the weather is nice, too bad, we will commit suicide tomorrow” or even “I am in favor of a 4th dose of vaccine or… a 12th dose of Tranxene (anxiolitic, Ed.)”. Something to shock many viewers and Internet users.
“Psychophobic and racist”
“TF1 which puts a photo of Stromae with a rope around its neck in its humorous show #canteloup… ça me choque wtf ??!!!!” protests a user. “Who is that funny?” wrote another. “Absolutely no one, besides Canteloup is not a funny guy maybe people should realize that and should get him off television”; “But we really need to turn off the TV massively, in fact”; “I thought the same thing last night… They have been putting Stromae in derision mode for several days, but the rope this time. While he had a suicidal problem… There are limits to stupidity. This n is really not humor tolerates… it goes too far”. Or “psychophobic and racist“; “What a shitty show”, “I’m shocked”, “ridiculous”, can we still read. “Too funny to make fun of a pathology ah really… dark humor is not supposed to attack a person directly suffering from a disease… We make fun of children with cancer? NO, it’s the same… you don’t have no soul“.
“Black humor is not being a shit bag”
“Many were born before shame under this tweet, concludes another Internet user who defends the cause of our artist. “Whether it’s TF1, Canteloup or the commentaries, no, dark humor is not being a shit bag. These are subjects on which we don’t laugh, which destroy lives. Stromae has given its soul to those in search of light. Stromaei just shot his new music video in Brussels, has not reacted yet.
