Over at CBC.ca

As I said in my first post, the real catalyst to this blog was reading some of the comments on CBC.ca with revulsion and disgust. So it's important to me that we deal with some CBC snark as soon as possible.

CBC.ca has an article about a woman who hasn't had her bags returned to her since they were lost on Dec.20th, at the start of her trip. She has since returned to Canada and has yet to talk to anyone from Air Canada who can tell her where her bags are. It can be found here.


On to the comment.

  Beware of Peter Mansbride's wrath!!

Well other than the obvious, about how this contributes nothing to the article or the discussion, the author makes a comment about CBC impartiality. I have no problem with this, and would love to see more of this in society. The Media can be a fickle thing, and we all want a media that we can trust to give us a fair look at today's news.

If you want to seriously question the validity of this article, then seriously question it. But this author seems to have abandoned that idea since it requires some sort of effort and thought.

The part that loses me is when s/he accuses Peter Mansbridge. If you want to be funny, then WRITE SOMETHING FUNNY. Peter Mansbridge's name alone is not funny.

By raising the stakes, then finishing with some LIMP and WEAK joke, I deem this an utter failure at being a readable and interesting comment.

Funnily enough, 15 people, FIFTEEN! recommended the comment. Well I guess it's not that surprising. I had generally assumed that there were at least 16 stupid people in Canada.
