Looks Orange Looks like a dork Looks like a hostage Lights? Camera? Make up? Fuck it! These were the Skypes I was able to snap a screen shot of.

Last seen in the tweet hole on October 30, has the director of New Media for CBC News lost interest?
Update! CBC’s continued effort to make its work environment a manifestation of Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times. CBC has decided to install GPS tracking equipment into its News vehicles.
