Samantha Bennett–Northern exposure: Canada to unveil a porn channel

Got two words for you this week: Canadian porn.

I don’t think I need to write anything else. I’ll just let you think about that, and I can log off and head home early. Sometimes the universe hands you a lovely gift with a big bow on it, which makes a nice change from all the days the universe jumps out from behind something and stabs you in the head with a railroad spike.

OK, OK, I realize I can’t dangle a non sequitur like “Canadian porn” in front of you and then walk away from it. Send the kids out for ice cream and draw the curtains.

We all know that a lot of Canadian actors have come to New York or Hollywood to realize their dreams. I have no clue how many have come down here to the States to make it big in the porn biz, but if all goes according to plan, they won’t have to. They will soon have their own channel, specializing in skin flicks with no tan lines.

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission has granted Alberta-based Real Productions approval for a digital pornography channel. It’s to be called Northern Peaks.

Read it all.

    Like American pr0n, only with more flannel and fewer teeth. And moose.

    What ingrates.

    We give ourselves. Fully naked, in our most intimate moments.

    But no, they reject us. Our most revealing moments … are not good enough for them !

    This is more embarassing than what the Japanese did with our auto industry.

  3. Dave C. says:

    Bennett displays a wonderful sense of humor. I especially liked this line:
    [blockquote]As Real Productions’ VP for marketing, Ashley Corsiatto, told the Herald, “I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of seeing the Silicon Valley girls constantly.” Well, it may be time to develop a more wholesome hobby. [/blockquote]

    See the Barna report on porn. Well, Canada should be left behind? Mercy no. Nothin’ like a little porn to start the day right and finish the day on a high note. But can someone tell me why pornography has seen such a broad extension of its attractions? Has too much real sex finally created a jaded libido, one that needs artificial stimulation when reality loses its reality? Larry

    [i]Another requirement is that all the dialogue — I’m obviously using that word very, very loosely — will have to be closed-captioned.[/i]

    Will it also have to be dubbed in Quecois French as well? 🙄

    That said, one of the few GOOD sit-coms on TV recently is the five-year old Canadian production “Corner Gas”, showing on WGN. It’s better than just about any US produced so-called comedy on the air right now.
