A CBC story on the tragic death of 4 RCMP officers killed while busting a marijuana growing operation in rural Alberta was followed by a commerical for a lawn pesticide whose spokesman is a freaky CG character named "Weed Man." Coincidence?

I don't know. According to Commiecast, I am not authorized to view NWI. I guess our $107/month isn't enough to appease them. But with the availability of great shizznit to watch on the net, I hardly miss it. NASA TV, C-Span.org, PBS, BBC, Bloomberg...
