"sheesh, you said it cat!"

[GMMAC]

PING!

[MD_Willington_1976]

Is it on right after Canadian Air Farce?.. LOL

Hey at least they don't blur out the naked bits on the other channels up there...

[MplsSteve]

WTF is right!

For a second, I thought this might be a Scrappleface article!

"Little Mosque On The Prairie"?

Frickin' ridiculous!

[Alouette]

Canadian TV has deteriorated sadly since the days of the "Wayne and Shuster Comedy Hour"

[MplsSteve]

The "Red Green Show" is good humor also.

[msnimje]

CAIR is going to have to call the authorities in Canada to have this reviewer investigated. No bad talking about Muslims allowed.

[GMMAC]

Bias? Agenda? Where?

BTW, next week's episode's guest villain:

[Boris99]

Will this receive better ratings than "Talking to Americans?"

[sgtbono2002]

I will file this one next to the "View" as another program that will never be seen in the Bono home.

[AntiKev]

I've boycotted CBC, this was the last straw. Luckily if I watch hockey, it's on the US stations. De-fund the communist bastards.

[fishergirl]

Thank you - the View = automatic gag reflex!

[rahbert]

well you'll miss Grapes and Hotstove!

[Taylor42]

Can't you just see a mooslim wanting to join the lodge?

[fanfan]

LOL!

Ping!

So I was spared my fantasized plot thread of a young Muslim boy and a young Jewish boy -- the son of the local rabbi, of course -- who find some quarrel in a straw, but then, through the wisdom of their sage and tolerant fathers, become best friends, while their families go into business together in a joint kosher/halal butcher shop, where the Jewish boy's older brother, home from med school for the summer and helping out in the shop, falls madly in love with the Muslim boy's doe-eyed, hijab'd sister, as a result of which her father's wish for an arranged marriage with a friend's son from Pakistan wavers, he sees the multicultural way of the future, and his opposition to the match with the Jewish boy melts away. Fade to a wedding feast on a groaning table laden with chopped liver, hummus, brisket, couscous, with happy Muslims and Jews, arms linked, awhirl in a dizzying hora, segueing into a joyous, high stepping round of YMCA ?

[fanfan]

Will this receive better ratings than "Talking to Americans?"

Yes.

Muslims will watch it.

[Cicero]

Yes, it's really real. Here's their website.

[Grizzled Bear]

Not as good as "I dream of Jihad."

[onyx]

This is true?
