Happy Canada Day
Those Candid Camera-style comedy segments produced by the Just for Laughs comedy festival are everywhere. And they're not funny. Despite repeated attempts to revive the hidden camera prank genre, like the Western that format rode off into the sunset long ago. The Just for Laughs bits are a product the same forces in our national psyche that led to the sponsorship scandal, Bruce Mau, ROOTS clothing, Stephen Harper as a national leader, the Vancouver Olympic logo and that American in Canada show.
They diminish us all. Happy Canada Day, enjoy it while you can.
