Fuck the bread, circuses will do.

You'd think from all the honking and yahooing last night that perhaps Canadians had landed on Mars or some such monumental event. As I said before it's kind of pathetic that the only thing that garners spontaneous displays of passion or national pride are hockey games. Not that it's a bad thing for people to be excited about the local team doing well (On the other hand, how "local" is the team? How many "Canucks" are even from Canada, let alone British Columbia or the Vancouver area? What exactly is all the pride about?), it's just a tad pathetic that this is the only thing that gets people excited.
