Live 8

Fucking embarassing.

Is there no one in Canada who can host this other than Dan Akroyd and Tom Green? Is this the pinnacle of Canadian talent? Okay, sure, they're doing it for free--but even at that, they're overpaid. Could not Akroyd put a little effort into it? Like maybe talking with Green before they go on air, determine who will say what, instead of talking over one another? Was Erica Ehm not available? Surely she wouldn't mind being the spotlight for a day. At least she's easy on the eyes.

And Bryan Adams. His one fan is too busy cleaning his bedpan today to watch him. Nothing is sadder than a has been who still thinks he commands the loyalty of a nation. So telling when one of his guitarists had a feedback problem, and Adams turns to glare at him. What an asshole.

Yes, it's for a good cause, and I applaud everyone for working for free, even the asshats. But honestly. Everytime Canada takes the world stage, we just show the world what a bunch of yahoos we are.
