here's one really lame lineup over at Conan in Toronto (thanks to frank at chromewaves):
Tu 2/10: Mike Myers, Ron James
We 2/11: Michael J. Fox, Ken Capling, Nickelback
Th 2/12: Adam Sandler, Stompin' Tom Connors
Fr 2/13: Jim Carrey, Eric McCormack, Barenaked Ladies
yep. that's Stompin' Tom Connors.
and Nickelback. lol... shit.
how much more superficial and stereotypical can you get about canada, really?
what, Celine Dion wasn't available? what about Brian Adams? 'cause, hey, we listen to them every day up here.
that's one hell of a scratch-deep reflection of canada right there. you could not get a lazier lineup. you could not. even if i paid you good money to try, you could not get a more stereotypical view of canadian culture.
whatthefuck? those are all pretty well-known States celebs. there's no curiousity about our culture. it's like saying the icelandic music scene is only comprised of Bjork and Sigur Ros. how lame is that?? what are they trying to do? hope people will watch for Nickelback and then hit them with facts about Toronto and Canada? people watch late night tv anyway.
i know i'm getting worked up for (mostly) nothing, but still...
who the hell worked on that series??
i'm fucking pissed. lol
see, you get Broken Social Scene, Peaches, The New Pornographers, Rufus, The Stills, The Dears, The Stars, etc and etc. that's what i'd call a good lineup.
sigh. it seems like next week is not gonna be the week we help the americans understand us a bit more.
and Adam Sandler better have one damn funny bit for him to be on that lineup during canadian week.
...
Nickelback???!!!!!! really?
for fuck's sake.
even //we// don't like their crap.
