BIOGRAPHY
Since it's founding back in 1999, many people have wondered what CCC stands for.
If you are asked, simply say you have no clue.

ABOUT TRADING
we've decided not to send any sticker anymore for mainly three reasons :
first of all we do not agree and feel happy with this actual trend consisting in collecting as much stickers as possible like if it was a competition...!
secondly, getting parcels ready and dispatch them take too much time.
finally, our thing is to stick'em around by ourselves.

CCC OR DIE!
- The legend -
Originally, history was lost in the mists of time, a period when a man’s honor was achieved with swings of a sharp-edged sword, a bloody axe or his bare hands during merciless combats inevitably ending in death. Life was crude, cruel and each day of survival was considered to be an unexpected mercy. In those times of instability and incertitude, sleep was a rare thing. It was better to sleep with one eye open, or even both, if you wanted to avoid waking up to the unpleasant tingling sensation of the blade of a dagger which had just severed your carotid artery. Women were not to be outdone. As base as hyenas, their cupidity was equaled only by the cunning ruse that they used to rob you of your few possessions before you even had time to notice. At that time, you could only dream of reaching the venerable age of 30; life was neither a right nor a certitude. The law was a joke, justice a far-fetched legend… this story begins in 1998.
At that time, during an evening which promised nothing more exciting than any other night, he whose name we shall not reveal (in order to protect him in some way from the innumerable entreaties that he would no doubt receive if his identity were to be disclosed) but to whom we will refer as “the prophet” was present, never once suspecting that in a few minutes’ time he would change the face of the world for ever. Let us simply mention that his initials are the root of the first two letters of ccc…
The action took place in a bar, just like thousands of others. A group of young people were drinking and chatting merrily. They included the famous prophet, as well as a slightly forward, charming creature of the fairer sex. Suddenly, without any look, gesture or innuendo of any kind being addressed to him, our hero made a gesture to the young nymphet which while apparently harmless, was of a sublime spontaneity which would mark the starting point of a circle of influence destined to fill the history books for centuries.
It is unnecessary for you to know the exact nature of this act in order to understand this story, and its extreme subtlety would probably escape you. Suffice it to say that this uncanny scene was a true flash of inspiration for those present.
Following this event, our small group of friends decided to found the now famous ccc and spread these three letters to the four corners of the globe (and beyond). At last, the adventure could commence…
Starting from that date, the prophet’s innumerable politically incorrect exploits were reported, commented on and admired. They were also an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the innumerable visual variations created in honor of our new messiah that sprung up here and there, in our regions and many others.
Should you be in any way observant and not go around staring fixedly at the floor, your mind full of murderous thoughts about your fellow citizens, then you will know the rest of the story.
Note:
This being said, do not make the mistake of believing that we are laying claim to any political, religious, philosophical or religious school of thought. The ccc acts on behalf of nobody (with the exception of our beloved prophet). The cccrew is merely a reflection of the non-culture of its members and aspires only to self-promotion in the most diverse of locations, with no desire to stroke any artistic or intellectual ego. It is no doubt the fact that the ccc cannot be labeled, that no doctrine or aim can be attributed to it, which so upsets certain people… and it has to be said, we couldn’t give a damn.
I will simply end with a quotation from the prophet, who is always quick to strike with an indisputable truth in order to set the flock on the right path: “The important thing is for the bed to be unmade”.

CCC OR DIE!
- La légende -
A l’origine, l’histoire se perd dans la nuit des temps, à une époque où l’honneur d’un homme s’acquierrait à grands coups de glaive acéré, de hallebarde ensanglantée ou à mains nues lors de combats sans merci dont l’issue mortelle était la norme. La vie était rude, cruelle et chaque jour supplémentaire de survie était à considérer comme une trêve inespérée. En ces temps de précarité et d’incertitude, le sommeil se faisait rare. Il valait mieux ne dormir que d’un oeil, voire même d’aucun si l’on ne voulait se réveiller avec la désagréable sensation de picotement provoquée par la lame d’une dague qui venait de vous sectionner la carotide. Les femmes n’étaient pas en reste. Viles comme des hyènes, leur cupidité n’avait d’égale que la ruse avec laquelle elles vous dépouillaient de vos rares possessions avant même que vous eussiez pu vous en rendre compte. A l’époque où l’on ne pouvait guère espérer atteindre l’âge canonique de 30 ans, la vie n’était ni un droit, ni un acquis. La loi une plaisanterie, la justice une légende fantaisiste... cette histoire commence en 1998.
A l’époque, lors d’une soirée qui ne promettait pourtant rien de bien plus excitant que les autres, celui dont nous tairons le nom (pour le préserver un tant soit peu des innombrables sollicitations dont il ne manquera pas de faire l’objet si son identité venait a être divulguée) mais que nous nommerons désormais «le prophète» était présent, loin de se douter que dans quelques minutes il allait à jamais changer la face du monde. Mentionnons simplement que ses initiales sont à l’origine des deux premières lettres de ccc...
L’action se situe dans un bar comme il en existe des milliers. Un groupe de jeunes gens boit en devisant gaiement. Parmi eux se trouve le fameux prophète ainsi qu’une charmante créature du beau sexe quelque peu délurée. Soudain, sans qu’aucun regard, aucun geste ou sous-entendu de quelque sorte ne lui ait été adressé, notre héros eu à l’égard de la nymphette un geste en apparence anodin, mais dont la sublime spontanéité marqua le point de départ d’une mouvance qui allait remplir les livres d’histoire pendant des siècles.
Porter à votre connaissance la nature exacte de cet acte n’est pas impératif pour la compréhension de l’histoire et son extrême subtilité vous échapperait très probablement. Précisons simplement que cette scène surnaturelle fût une véritable illumination pour les personnes présentes.
Suite à cet évènement, le petit groupe d’amis que nous étions décida de fonder le désormais fameux ccc et de colporter ces trois lettres aux quatres coins du globe (et au-delà). L’aventure pouvait enfin commencer...
A dater de ce jour, les innombrables exploits politiquement incorrects du prophète furent rapportés, commentés et admirés. Ils furent également une inépuisable source d’inspiration pour les innombrables déclinaisons visuelles réalisées à la gloire de notre nouveau messie qui fleurissent ça et là, dans nos contrées et dans bien d’autres.
Pour peu que vous ayez un semblant de sens de l’observation et que vous ne vous déplaciez pas en regardant fixement le sol, l’esprit peuplé de pensées génocidaires à l’égard de vos concitoyens, vous connaissez la suite de l’histoire.
Note :
N’allez pas croire pour autant que nous nous revendiquons d’un quelconque courant de pensée politique, religieux, philosophique ou artistique. Le ccc ne milite pour rien ni personne (à l’exception de notre prophète bien aimé). Le cccrew n’est que le reflet de la non-culture de ses membres et n’aspire qu’à faire son autopromotion dans les lieux les plus divers, et ce sans aucune prétention de l’ordre de la branlette artistique ou intellectuelle. C’est sans doute le fait de ne pas pouvoir étiqueter le ccc, de ne pas lui trouver de doctrine ou de but qui en fait mousser certains à ce point... et il faut bien avouer qu’on s’en fout complètement.
Je terminerais simplement par cette citation du prophète, toujours prompt à asséner une indiscutable vérité pour mettre ces ouailles dans le droit chemin : «L’important c’est que le lit soit défait.»
