CANADIAN CONTENT TELEVISION
The government of Canada is always going on about "Canadian content" in broadcasting. However, we all want to watch America shows. I have a solution. Put Canadian content into the titles, leaving the American shows alone and allowing us to watch them with a clear and patriotic conscious.
Change . . .
. . . "Magnum P.I." to Magnum P.E.I.
. . . "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to Buffy St. Marie Vampire Slayer
. . . "My Favorite Martian" to My Favourite Monctonian
. . ."Star Trek Voyager" to Star Trek Voyageur
. . . "Deep Space Nine" to Deep Space Nanimo
. . . "Little House on the Prarie" to Little House on Portage LaPrarie and Main
. . . "Rat Patrol" to Muskrat Patrol
. . ."This Old House" to This Old Igloo
. . . "L.A. Law" to L.A. Law (in this case "L.A." stands for "Lake Athabaska")
. . . "South Park" to North Park (the creators are Canadian, y'know)
. . . "All the President's Men" to All the Prime Minsiter's Men
. . . "Cops" to Mounties
[Yeah I know it's lame -- I was running out of ideas-DD]
