ALL THE LOVE YOU CANNES!

Next up was a fight between Lloyd and his illegitimate son, (played by Yaniv) and angry buyers tricked into buying Troma movies for distribution. They take Lloyd and his son and throw them into the ocean, almost killing Lloyd's son. Luckily Lloyd knew mouth to mouth, but none of us knew it involved so much tongue. But then Yaniv spent the night in Lloyd's room, so I suppose it all worked out for the best.

After that, we hit the streets for the Troma parade. The Troma parade is a ritual in Cannes. It's practically an institution at the festival. We have at least 2 marches a day as Troma parades up and down the Croisette with all the Tromettes and characters in full force.

Following the parade, we went directly to the Lesbian strip on the Croisette. Two lovely Tromettes began pleasuring each other right on the street, much to the delight of passersbys, the Troma Team, and more important, Unca Lloydie. Quite a show indeed.


We took a short break after the hot lesbo action to regroup and set up the next few gags. We extended Troma's fashion revue to show the different styles of French armpit hair, Jewish, African-American and Tromette. While this was going on, no one noticed the mugger until it was too late. He stole Mark Adams' (star of The Rowdy Girls) arm right off his body. Luckily Toxie was around and showed the mugger what for. Paolette the Swedish Whore showed up looking for some Troma merchandise. She said she would do anything for a Tromette tank top. So Dolphinman made a proposition: a blowjob for a tank top. Dolphinman said he got the best head of his life that day, and everyone knew it when he finally shot a load through his blowhole showering the Croisette with his love juice.

After all that excitement, we decided it was time to demonstrate to the people at home the wonders of bromo seltzer and green food coloring, a special effect that has been used in many Troma productions over the years. Team Troma performed the nuclear meltdown. The whole gang got into the act and soon the beach was awash in toxic green.

Tromaville.com's Freak of the Week came up next. Count Smokula, a 500-year-old Count from Smoksulvania, hosted the show while his lovely creation Shelly Michelle assisted him. The show was really nothing more than a typical day with Troma. I breathed fire, Arban licked nipples, and Canal+'s own, Luna, jumped into the show with a spectacular S&M act.

We took the action back to the street with the Troma Fashion Revue, featuring the lovely Tromettes, Yaniv and Paolo the Swedish intern, modeling the latest Troma fashions, like Homie hats, Ho tops and DVD bras. We also premiered the newest creations of Heidi Fashion Hairyass, the world famous Troma designer. Paolo even brought his famous Diaper\Afro\Tromadance sticker outfit into the mix, much to the delight of the drooling French crowd. After one round on the runway, the Tromettes were sprayed with blood, for that "freshly killed" look so popular back home.

When everyone had time to cool down, we brought the action back to the street where Yaniv announced to the crowd that we were premiering the newest Troma superhero, TromaFighter! I am the Tromafighter, so I ran out and yelled a lot. Yaniv (the creator) invited all challengers. The man who got his arm stolen earlier said he could beat me with one arm! I disciplined the bastard by pouring salt into his open wound. He cried like a one-armed baby! Then it was time for the main event: Tromafighter vs. Tree! It was a tough battle, but in the end the tree was victorious. I was KO'd but not without a fight.

We brought it back to the beach where we woke up at sunset. There was a huge Troma party/bloodbath where we all went into the ocean and swam around and covered each other in faux blood. The ocean actually turned an apocalyptic blood red. And sure enough, the apocalypse did fall as Lloyd had a heart attack and died. Despite that, we just kept partying until the webcams ran out of juice.

[Postscript: After the 10 directors had all done their webcasts, Canal + had an awards ceremony, much like the Cannes Film Festival has their Palme d'Or. There were 10 categories of awards, and Troma was nominated for 7 of them. Twice in one category, bringing the total nominations to 8. Out of the 8 nominations, we won 6 awards. Nominations:
