Canadians Miss Out On Doctor Who Season Finale
darthcamaro writes "Canadians were among the last people in the world to get the season 4 finale of Doctor Who which already aired in the UK and Australia. The Canadian public broadcaster — CBC — decided to cut out nearly 20 minutes from the episode, leaving fans wondering what was going on. Doctor Who isn't the easiest show to follow at the best of times — but Canadians are now up in arms (or at least hockey sticks) over their taxpayer-funded broadcaster's lack of respect for SciFi hosers."
As usual I fail to see how this is "stuff that matters." I guess it's time to turn in my /. decoder ring.
They seem to share a similar problem with us; the media is owned by the government. Now, HERE, journalism is an outmoded word like SteamShanty. There, the media has been bought for so long, their version of PBS has actually TAKEN OVER.
Look, guys, at what we have to look forward to, when we don't ASK QUESTIONS of our leaders. It's what happens when we think (for reasons that must be insanity!) that government can do a better job than we can.
Everywhere you go, our Congress has touched things and made them worse. Now, after grabbing almost a trillion dollars in "an emergency", they're looking for all sorts of other "emergencies" in a power grab like we've never seen before.
When PBS owns the airways of AmeriKa, and we all must follow the leader who keeps getting elected, and elected, and elected....I'd rather miss 20 minutes of Doctor Who than live in that place.
No, don't mark me troll: my complaint is made to make people think, not to urge voting for any particular candidate. And I'm not here to fight, I'm here to debate.
Conservatism, the idea that the government (especially the Federal one) doesn't have the right, or a history of doing things right. Remember the $600 toliet seat? Are you really gonna let them run your healthcare? Really?
Wonder where your freedoms went? Liberalism ate them. And every time it was "for the children":
- For example, smoking in your car with a kid in California is ATTEMPTED MURDER. (Even though you can't kill with second hand smoke. No, ya can't!)
- In California, the power companies, not you, own the setting on the thermostat.
= The EPA now considers CO2 a pollutant.
No Republican...especially no _Conservative_ ever had anything to do with this madness. Welcome to Liberalism and the New AmeriKa! Yay, change at last! I was so bored at having money and freedom.

..........FULL STOP.
Well, they didn't miss much, one of the most boring, predictable shows I've seen.
