Evidence of Cerebral Flatulence (This week only)
Toronto - The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) unilaterally declared itself to be the Catholic Broadcasting Corporation and broadcast every single movement, fortunately not bowels, of Pope John Paul 2. On one auspicious occasion, on the nightly news, CBC actually showed a replay of the entire disembarkation from the Alitalia plane that flew the soon-to-be-replaced-due-to-death Pope. One was lead to believe that nothing else in the world could have been more important than this Old Fart’s stroll to terra fima, which is his language for, “Christ, oops, I made it one more time!!!”
Toronto – The Toronto Star saw its way to become the Pope’s personal church bulletin. Front pages entitled, “Poppa John is in the House”, “City of Pilgrims” and “Sea of Love” despite word of wife-killing and drug-taking US soldiers, corruption at Hydro One, priests caught hiring little boys to be their whores in Montreal, Canadian soldiers returning from Afghanistan and even the floundering stock market.
Toronto – The Toronto Maple Leafs made no attempt to extricate themselves from a fan-based-hatred-of-lack–of-team-improvement malaise, which has seen many Leafs’ fans fly upside down car-flags, turn desktop logos upside down and even email the team itself expressing disgruntledness, but, instead, took the week off from even thinking about hockey, while the Pope was in town, despite the fact the owner is Greek Orthodox.
Toronto – The City of Toronto Council accepted the challenge of an aging Polish priest, hosted World Youth Day for a million Catholics and inconvenienced the shit out of four million of its residents and those that choose to work there. |
