Sod off CBC
Just when I thought the CBC couldn’t do anything dumber than firing Chris Cuthbert, backing out on the CFL, hiring PJ Stock and Greg Millen or thinking Shawn Majumder has talent, they do this. Not bringing back the Hockey Night in Canada theme song? What kind of drugs do you have to be on to consider something like that? I could understand if the people who owned the rights were gouging, but they seem pretty reasonable for wanting to continue the contract and the terms they asked. But the CBC is a government institution, so they obviously have to commit acts of sheer incompetence to maintain their public image. I guess there’s still some hope; the public backlash has caused them to say they’re considering their options rather that flat out going elsewhere.
I swear, if they use that stupid Nickelback remix of Elton John I will burn down Studio 42.
