Don't Piss Me Off!
Sep. 8th, 2003 11:56 amCBC Radio has a long history of brilliant radio sketch groups and they often have a 30 minute spot on Saturday mornings. Past geniuses include The Frantics and Radio Free Vestibule whom
scapegoatee recently quoted.
But the new show, What a Week! is lame, dead in the water and deeply offensive. Among noxious skits this week was one that portrayed Iraqi citizens in a 12-step help group, trying to get over blaming Americans for everything ("The Americans made me burn my toast this morning."). With half a million Iraqi children dead since the gulf war due to "collateral damage" and sanctions, this sketch seems a tad insensitive.
Then they parodied gay marriage with two lisping queer boys rushing to get married. They are in their 30s and celibate and want to marry so they can fuck with a clear conscience. They make a mysterious reference to "having done everything but" and then the justice of the peace asks them how they even know they're gay if they haven't fucked.
Here's the letter I just sent them:
I don't usually listen to all the CBC stuff (it's all kinda girly and blah blah blah, y'know what I mean?). I'm more of JOCK radio guy but my girlfriend was listening to your show on Saturday and it was pretty good, eh?
I really liked that sketch about those FUCKING FAGGOTS! That really rocked. I mean, you had these pansy-assed FUCKING FAGGOTS all lisping and swishing and shit. Right on! I mean they want to get married and shit and I find it really gross. And you totally caught how gross and WRONG it is with your brilliant sketch. I like it when the chick asks them how they even know they're FUCKING FAGGOTS -- I mean, if they weren't so scared of chicks, right? If they'd just be men and do a chick once, they could be like NORMAL, right?
I'm also really impressed how you gave it to the FUCKING TOWEL-HEADS like four times in the show. Time to show them that real Canadians like me won't fall for their crap. Or the FUCKING FAGGOTS, either.
Thanks for making programming for real Canadians like me.
