Yeh people who don’t turn on their television because they don’t like to be preached at yet again for something they didn’t do, and have no real interest in. If you want viewers you find out what they like, then build on that. You DO NOT decide for them what they should like and then act surprised when they don’t agree with you.

I love this show.

White people who live in Saskatchewan are so stupid.

It is so fun to laugh at them They are such sub-humans.

I think you should probably watch the show William. Lacking that perspective, however, I can certainly see your point.

The show pokes fun at stereotypes all over the place,it’s equal opportunity ribbing.

As for the show with George, beyond what can subjectively be made of his comment, he had the BNL on for pete’s sake. They’re notoriously right-wing. [ ;) ]

Speaking of racism, there’s a little clip in that show (they use for advertising it) where the father is insulting his daughter for looking like a Protestant.

Can you imagine if a show was made where someone said “You look like a Muslim”, as if it was a bad thing.

“Programs have been selected on the basis of artistic achievement, social impact, or historic significance.” I think the Museum of Television and Radio jumped the gun a bit on this one. It must be the first TV program in North America with a Muslim theme.

I don’t know how anyone could come away from that segment thinking that Strombo was suggesting that all of those who did not like the show are “insanely racist.”

About the 27m mark.

They’ve gotten feedback on the show. Some people liked it, some didn’t. Some of the feedback they got was extremely racist.

Beyond the fact that you don’t want to be taxed for anything, I’m not seeing your point.

I didn’t watch beyond that. Did they get into a commentary on the FLQ threat?
