Well, yes - we have rules about supporting the local entertainment industry, after all.

I see that joke is so old that even the furriners have heard it.

Somehow, I managed to read the topic as "Obama wants more Canadian made porn" and I thought "Well, if that's what his thing is...."

Then I thought to check the resolution on my monitor.

I do understand, Rob. Since I deal with them on a daily basis. But did the ministry involved checked on how absurd their statement sounded? Or is there an actual  bureaucrat with a sense humor over there?

I don't drink beer -- anybody's -- so I don't know anything good or bad about Molson and wasn't referencing it.  I ran across Berton's line decades before I heard about "fucking close to water," and that joke didn't even cross my mind when I posted.  I just thought, key word: Canada; key word: sex; cite: Berton quote.

Ah.

"Mass-market beer is like making love in a canoe: f*****g close to water."

(It used to be "American beer", but ever since Molson and Labatt got taken over by multinationals...)

The CRTC isn't normally known for having a sense of humour...
