Where to start with this six part documentary about Love, Hate (painfully long pause and Propaganda ?
Let’s not start with the obvious (the “brooding hipster” host), that would be too easy.
Instead, let’s talk about how this doesn’t seem to be much different then any other documentary about World War 2 that I’ve seen, except instead of one [...]
There are those who say Gomeshi and Strombolopoulos must have photos of numerous powerful CBC executives in bed with dead women or live boys (or comatose ladyboys) for them to still be on the air. I say pshaw, fiddlesticks, and horse hockey! Jian and George are simply far too busy living their fabulous lifestyles to [...]
In the arena of 21st century popular culture, you can get away with illegally invading sovereign nations to steal their oil and opium, even if you murder tens of thousands of innocents along the way.

But someone stood in his way.
To get the job, George has got to go.
Jian Ghomeshi is … The Understudy.
A few days ago I sent George an email with criticisms and suggestions to help improve the show. I didn’t mean for anything to sound too harsh but dammit, it had to be said ! You would think that after 15 years of broadcasting experience he would be able to handle it better. Nope ! In a [...]
Can anyone think of a better way for Canada’s public broadcaster to bring in the new year than with … Hulk Hogan.
