Alrigh, an explanation is required, and for the record, it doesn't involve Alcohol. The bear is acuallty a USB Key, but to connect it to your computer you need take the little bears head off. Yeah I think its a little creepy too.

Leave the CBC alone eh!

WARNING THIS POST IS 100% CANADIAN. If you don't know who Stompin Tom Conner's is, Canoed down a river or worn a toque to keep your head warm, this post may not makes sense.

I’m such a healthy guy. Just look at my breakfast; 3 Sausage McMuffins, a liter of Iced Tea and a 75g bag (do the conversion yourself) of Old Dutch Corn Chips I bet people are wondering why I haven’t dropped from a heart attack yet. Now that I have my bad eating habits in the open I want to talk about something very Canadian, The CBC.

I was reading about how the CBC is planning to bump The National, so they can air a U.S. reality show. Oh and before everyone freaks out that that this is a sign of the apocalypse, the CBC is planning to do a Canadian version of the show, so it’s not as big a deal as everyone may think.

First off, the national has been bumped on a nightly basis ever since the playoffs started. People were forced to watch The National in that small window between the early and late hockey game, so it’s not the first time. As well, the CBC has come to realize that airing old episodes of Front Page Challenge and 2 back to back episodes of Coronation Street (oh and tonight episode, Danny pretends to go on a business trip, WHO THE HELL IS DANNY?). Wait a minute; they’re also airing the 2006 NHL awards tonight, so it’s not all bad.

Oh and before someone asks why the CBC airs so much Hockey, the answer is THEY MAKE MONEY DOING IT. Playoff time for the CBC is like Christmas time at Wal-Mart. Major money is made.

As well, they’re try and trying very hard. Real Canadian still enjoy the Royal Canadian Air Farce (All Hail the Chicken Cannon) and while This Hour Has 22 Minutes has gone down hill since most of the original cast has left, its still isn’t a bad show. I also hear that George Stroumboulopoulos’s is moving to the CBC from CBC Newsworld. As well, the CBC has the Grey Cup, more Hockey and if were lucky, Curling. (Don’t make fun of curling, it’s a Canadian thing, Check out Men with Broom on DVD if you still don’t understand it.)

Oh I also heard that there are some people in the government who want to turn the CBC into a non commercial station, a la PBS. Alright government, the day I start seeing pledge drives on the CBC is the day I’m going to fly to Ottawa, and beat these guys to an inch of their lives with a Hockey stick and then politely clean up the mess with a Curling broom and leave them some Tim Horton’s Timbits. Let the CBC thrive and for Gods sake, don’t thry to bring back Front page Challenge or The Beachcombers.

Respect Mr Bear

Remember when bears were to be feared? People thought of bears as dangerous beasts that could kill a man? You would hear about bears mauling people? Bears are suppose to be dangerous, right? So why is it that there have been 2 news stories in the past 2 weeks that have bears looking like big wimps. (and while I’m at it, why is it that every sentence in this paragraph, is a question?)

Last week I was hearing how a housecat chased a bear up a tree. Now this bear has to be the biggest wimp of all bears. Being chased up a tree by a cat that looks like Garfield. This bear is a WIMP. Now I’m reading about a bear who broke into a house to eat someone’s oatmeal . OATMEAL? I thought bears ate meat?

Right now there’s a meeting in a cave somewhere in the woods, and the bears are talking about ‘improving’ their image. I can picture one Grizzly complaining about the bears in the toilet paper commercial. He gets up on 2 legs and yells. YES I CRAP IN THE WOODS BUT I DON’T USE TOILET PAPER. Then another bear complains about the bears on the jar of Kraft Peanut Butter. Oh and it goes on and on.

Well, I don’t officially represents the bears, I will say this. Bears are not to be taken lightly people. A bear will attack a housecat. A bear will do more and eat Oatmeal (he’s will open the fridge and go for the beer). They will spread jokes about how evil bears are. Jokes like “A bear and a rabbit are taking a shit in the wood. The bear then asks the rabbit, ‘Do you have problems with shit sticking to your fur?’ The rabbit says ‘no’, so the bear wipes his ass with the rabbit."

Trust me, the bears are tired of being considered cute. Respect them or else they will be pissed.
