Watch The Trojan Horse on Sunday with Joe Clark

Sunday at 9pm ET Joe Clark will be liveblogging the CBC-TV premiere of The Trojan Horse over here. This means he watches TV and types, and you watch TV and read.

The Trojan Horse has been called rich and entertaining by the Ottawa Citizen. Joe has been called rich in iron, and also entertaining, by citizens of Leslieville.

    You people. You’™re so clever. Unlike me, who actually does shit.

    Quick move to Sunday something-or-other. Did the hosts even bother to introduce themselves? Ah, who cares. It’s just filler anyway. Evan Solomon makes everything seem so much less interesting. That Rita McNeil chick is pretty hot though. I keep seeing her giving me that look as she sips a martini.
    The commercials seem to have a feminine bent.
    Turns out a teenager can do a report about gold mines, and did.
    No one is watching this show except Evan’s mother and Stursberg.
    Hot chick in bra runs around microwaving Uncle Ben’s Rice.
    Why are people trying to make me move to Newfoundland?
    Evan is a dull version of those simpletons that announce the transitions on Entertainment Tonight, and yes, I saw his Chomsky interview. What a nerd.
    This Sunday show is so cheap, in every way. Especially intellectually. A full hour where you could change the nation and we get this pap.
    Like saying, if that’s the world, it’s safe to go back to sleep.
    Thanks, CBC.

    Too late for me to announce that I would be live blogging the commercials.
    That Tim Horton’s Slow Roast Beef Sandwich could have been pictured with a lit cigarette sticking out one end of it.
    Powerful Canadian Tire ad with youth pleading for a chance at his first paying job.
    One out of ten dentists doesn’t recommend Sensodyne.
    Vacuum cleaners still suck, only better. But nothing will top the salesman that stuck the Hoover to the ceiling in front of my parents.
    Hey, that was MY friggen’ idea to put Gomeshi radio on TV.
    Why does a promo for “The Border” look like what I’m already watching?

    While Anonymous has the wrong idea, at least I have enough guts to write ’œshit.’ And ’œfuck,’ as in ’œyourself, you anonymous coward.’

    I can’t imagine Joe missing an opportunity to sh*t on someone.

    Would this be an appropriate place to start a flame-war with ‘allan’ (maybe others)?
    I think “The Maple Leaf Forever” is a wonderful song and SHOULD be our national anthem.

    It is clever yet life-affirming zingers like that one that make you so popular here, Allan.

  • Allan says:

    Oh, I see, Joe.
    I stood outside his house once and said “Maple Leaf Forever? Never heard of it.” And besides, you were supposed to guess whose portrait I was referring to …

  • joeclark says:

    Allan, that’™s the old tribalist Alexander Muir, composer of ’œThe Maple Leaf Forever.’ I live here and even I have had to look it up several times.

    Tell the anonymous commenter who canժt manage to begin a sentence with a capital letter that I take great pride in the Mississauga Girls[ժ] Hockey bomber jacket (complete with drawstring) that I bought for a doubloon at the Soci̩t̩ de St-Vincent-de-Paul. Thatժs not poor, itժs vintage.

  • joeclark says:

    Yeah, so I did. That’™s because I wasn’™t using my typical date format. I should never try to break my habits. Fixed.

    Now, why did that comment have to be anonymous?

  • Anonymous says:

    Joe got the date wrong: 30 March not April

  • Allan says:

    Is that Louis Riel?

    Why would I want to ruin a perfectly good Sunday?

    why does everyone in Toronto look so poor?

    Surely you mean I leave a dull metallic aftertaste?
