Entartistes
The entartistes were a Canadian satirical political group, active in the late 1990s and early 2000s, whose members threw cream pies at political and cultural figures whom the group deemed to be in need of public embarrassment.〔"Pied snipers". ''The Gazette'', January 31, 1999.〕 A member of the group, who identified himself only as Pope-Tart, told ''The Gazette'' in 1999 that the group's core philosophy was "'You work for us. You can't be too big for your britches or you'll get a pie in the face."〔
==History==
The group was founded by several former members of the Rhinoceros Party of Canada, including François Gourd.〔 They initially convened in 1995 to offer a $400 reward to anybody from across Canada who successfully pied Prime Minister Jean Chrétien,〔 but after nobody accepted the offer at the time they began to plan their own pieings.〔
Other figures pied by the group included Jean Charest,〔("Mario Dumont et Jean Charest entartés" ). Radio-Canada, April 13, 2003.〕 Mario Dumont,〔 Stéphane Dion,〔("Cream and punishment" ). ''The Globe and Mail'', April 18, 2000.〕 Allan Rock,〔("Chrétien gets pie in face" ). ''The Globe and Mail'', August 17, 2000.〕 Pierre Pettigrew,〔 William Johnson,〔 Pierre Bourque,〔 Jean Doré,〔"Doré entarté en pleine Fin du monde". ''La Presse'', October 29, 1998.〕 Jacques Parizeau,〔 Bernard Landry〔 and Jacques Duchesneau.〔 Quebec politicians were the most common targets, although the group also pied Sylvester Stallone during a 1998 promotional tour.〔
The group also inspired other attempts at pieing by offshoot groups across Canada. After the group released an updated "hit list" of desired targets in 1999 which included Chrétien, media mogul Conrad Black〔 and pop singer Céline Dion,〔("Quebec cracking down on political pie throwers" ). ''Baltimore Sun'', May 27, 1999.〕 Chrétien was successfully pied in 2000 by Evan Brown, a member of an offshoot group in Prince Edward Island which called itself the PEI Pie Brigade.〔 Ralph Klein was pied in 2003 by Alberta resident Christopher Geoghegan.〔("Klein pie-thrower gets jail time" ).
