"Oooooo! Aaaaahhh! Eh?"

Hey there! Great to see you. Thanks for dropping out of cyberspace for a few minutes to partake in a joyous mug of choice Arabica coffee and a virtual Canadian muffin, doughnut or pastry. Y'know, here in Canada (eh!) regulations require a certain percentage of 'Canadian content' by all TV station programming. Well, fair enough, eh, but listen to this... 

According to the National Post, the Canadian Radio-television & Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in March reprimanded three pornography broadcast stations -- not for excessively erotic fare, but for violating Canada's protectionist, patriotic rules requiring that at least 35 percent of all content be of Canadian origin. 

According to its notice, the 24-hour AOV Adult Movie Channel, XXX Action Clips and Maleflixxx were falling short of the 8 1/2 hours a day of north-of-the-border sex action (and, in an additional charge, were failing to provide enough closed captioning to accompany the "Yeah's" and "Oh, baby's")

Let's get this straightened out quickly, eh! How about all those blind or partially-sighted people who need the close captions? How about all those lonely businessmen (and women) stuck all alone in hotels across the country and tuning in to 'educational' programming? The thrust of this whole matter, is to showcase local talent and why the heck not, eh! Yeah, and don't tell me you can't find Canadian 'adult actors'. Our muffins are just as tasty as anyone else's. Let's not take this lying down!

See ya, eh!

Bob (on the mend)
