Tea & Two Slices: On The Murder City And Golden Endorsements

Portrait

by Sean Orr | Murder City. I thought maybe finally the Courier had opted for the ‘blood and guts’ slant of their parent company…

In fact, Crime is down in Vancouver. That cannot be good for the Province. Better put some angry parents on the cover.

One final award for 2010 Olympics. Bucky Gunts wins an Emmy. I’m pretty sure they pre-recorded this one just so they wouldn’t have to announce that name live. But seriously, congratulations Vancouver, you deserve an Emmy. I just thought we’d get it for best actor.

The Olympic-sized myth of golden endorsements. I thought our athletes participate for their love of country, not endorsements. How naive I must have been.

Seniors like news showing young people in bad light. Well that explains the entire editorial slant of the Vancouver Sun. (Hey ed. can I get like an interactive midi rimshot that people can click on after reading each one of these?)

John McLachlan: What I really think of the B.C. Spirit Festival idea. YES.
