I like the premise and find all of the political flack surrounding it kind of interesting. The bottom line is still: will it make me laugh? If so, I don’t care about all the extraneous stuff that many conservatives are getting themselves in a twist over. Should I regard “Corner Gas” as mocking rural Canadians? How much “depth” does that Hank character have and is he meant to be representative of shiftless hayseeds that populate the prairies? Give me a break. The journalist who made the comparison between Muslims and gays is beyond funny. I can’t even begin to describe how wrong-headed that is. Oh, and I see you couldn’t resist taking a shot at the CBC -- something that always puzzles me no end.Red Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422305796158017027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-1168354459032917602007-01-09T09:54:00.000-05:002007-01-09T09:54:00.000-05:00What was your point?Ah.
