"I'm meeting a fuckin' celebrity".
Sure, you are.
"I'm meeting a fuckin' celebrity".
Sure, you are.
flipped past The Hour last night.
saw George standing and talking about BOOBQUAKE.
Hey, George, when did you first aspire to being a comedian?
have you been privately working out at Yuk Yuk's?
you won't come right out and say it, perhaps the CBC will say it for you any time now
"He's Canada's answer to Bill Maher"
yeah right.
First you'll need a brain like Bill Maher
which means you have to stand FOR something and you have to stand AGAINST something
(let alone UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!)
and let's face it George
you don't want to offend ANYONE
so give up your bullshit attempts at relevance and opinion
still clinging to MILE A MINUTE?
what's the point?
people tune in for one reason only - WHO'S THE GUEST TONIGHT?
and the whole Hour shtick is to get the name that draws the most viewers
it has zero do to with you trying to get yourself noticed
as if the show revolves around you
it would if you left the guests out of it
but you can't
you'd probably drag Terfry and Mackowtz on to the set to help you think of what to say next
so they ask you
what show would YOU like to do?
and you say - whatever is easy but seems important
and they come up with another Tonight show/Late show WITHOUT MUSICAL PERFORMANCES
a show a thousand people could do
and then the CBC markets the hell out of it claiming that ONLY YOU CAN DO IT
five years later and still no one is buying that
RICK CAMPINELLA COULD DO THAT SHOW!
STROMBOLOGIC
"Y'know, I think Hip-Hop bears a very big responsibility here. And oftentimes they succeed. And oftentimes they fail."
"And Literacy isn't just books. Literacy is a good record, man."
Can we look at the word injustice for a second. Take one, no two letters off and what word do you have ? You have Justice !
I bet you can do that with other words, like irrelvant !
The illiteracy rate in Detroit is 47%. But they do listen to a lot of good hip-hop records there, so I guess it doesn't matter.
.....and those Detroit illiterates LOOK SHARP in their hip-hop outfits.
I can't beleive George was at an illiteracy event. Maybe he can teach African kids to read off a teleprompter in an animated way without making it look like they're reading.
that phrase is forever seared into memory
but of course the entire SIX PART series!!!!!!!! (five wasn't enough) was written to be comprehendible by teens
not that there's anything wrong with that
thank God our long national nightmare is over
George sounds kinda drunk in that clip...maybe he should take a breathalizer before he steps in front of a mike.
Detroit has over 78,000 abandoned homes, thousands of abandoned buildings and factories, nearly half of the adult population is functionally illiterate, 75% high school drop out rate and Detroit's Mayor claims that the unemployment rate is close to 50%. It was also rated by CNN as one of the worlds most dangerous cities, right up there with Baghdad and Beirut.
But on the bright side, Detroit does have a very high rate of "hip hop literacy" as George called it. Bravo Detroit!
George's date looks like she's from Detroit.
WOW, I didn't know it could be applied to more words than just injustice ! I hope George pointed that out you can take the IL off while he was at the illiteracy event.
Take two letters off VJ and you've got nothing. Which is the same thing you get when you take a VJ off MuchMusic and put him on the CBC.
Totally Drunk. No more to say...
His points on that short video clip are invalid. Unless, you take the first two letters off.
Since the topic of Detroit was brought up, I highly recommend the BBC documentary "Requiem for Detroit", directed by Julian Temple. You can watch it on YouTube (in 8 parts). If only the CBC could produce documentaries half as good as this one.
Julien Temple also directed the recent Joe Strummer (George's idol) documentary.
One can only hope that after George's WWII documentary debacle - Love, Hate & Poop - that George is never involved in a documentary ever again.
They probably want to get their money's worth with George so they use him for odds n ends. Kinda like the resident handy man or fix it person.
Why doesn't he take a few letters off of Stroumboulopoulos? It could really use some trimming.
Exactly, Poulos is a common Greek last name and he could easily take of the 'Stroumbou' part if he was so interested in helping litteracy like he claims.
Fast forward to 6.00 mins in this video. A few things I notice about George.
1) George says he doesn't want to look at the guys ass but at 6.35 mins he clearly does.
2) He doesn't want to say anything about fat chicks but probably feels the same way the other guy did.
3) Says he doensn't want to host but immediatly starts hosting.
4) The lady at Freak n' Leathers called them both Flamers at the end.
Thanks P.G.! You proved that The Conventioneers are funnier, smarter, & cooler & more interesting to watch than George. Which is why they will NEVER be on the CBC.
Conventioneers not that funny.
That was funny. The guy with the glasses is really quick witted. The one liners that he was coming up with in milliseconds were way better than anything George and his staff of writers come up with and they've had 5 years to try to come up with something funny.
