"Its my blog and I'll pry if I want to, pry if I want to"

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis.

Midnight in Mosque-Jaw.

When the CBC announced that they were doing a show entitled Little Mosque on the Prairie, we sorta snorted out loud, "they wouldn't be so stupid, would they?"

Well, apparently they would. Debuting last night, LMOP may quickly become the CBC icon that convinces the rest of the world that liberal Canada, has utterly, completely lost its marble. Taken complete leave of its senses. Managed to reduce what will surely be the 21st century's greatest cultural conflict to a bad parody that, according to the world outside the MSM, pretty much insults everyone, including sophomore drama queens.

If the practitioners of Islam currently dancing on the world stage, Canada included, had a demonstrable sense of humour, a sense of appropriate outrage at the atrocities commited on a daily basis in the name of Allah, hell, even be able to stand up and take the Danish cartoons on the chin without issuing fatwahs, then maybe, just...maybe, this eastern (as in Centre of the Universe eastern) concept of bedouins in the boondocks, might be able to pull off some slick satire and poke some good natured fun at cultural collisions in Canada.

But there's no humour in the Islam of the 21st century. None, at all.

However, Canadians never being a people to miss turning a nightmare into rolicking black humour, the good followers of SDA have managed to come up with a list of alternative "new age" comedies for the CBC to put to air, if LMOP doesn't quite float to the surface in support of all of the advance hype. The culture mavens at the CBC should be able to make something out of at least one of these suggestions:
