Little Mosque on the Prairie

I was surfing through Mark Stein's site and took one of his links to something he had written. My eye was caught by an ad on the page -- "Little Mosque on the Prairie", premiering on CBC in January.

Satire, right?

The site says Macleans.ca.

I keep looking for something that will indicate that this is satire.

My next thought is that someone has hacked into Macleans.ca and placed a satirical ad mocking the CBC, ultra-liberal values, and the desire to pander to and appease Islam before it bites them.

Even the CBC wouldn't be multiculti-nuts-enough to present a series like this.

Or would they?

And that's the way the Ball bounces.

I think it's supposed to be funny. I plan to miss it.

CBC's attempt at multicultural humour.

This from the NYT article:

"You look like a Protestant.” She counters, “Dad, you mean a prostitute?” He responds, “No, I meant a Protestant.”

Ms. Nawaz’s humor also emerges in the pool episode. Johnny, the male water aerobics instructor, is gay....

Muslim, the now-mandatory homosexual, and mocking Protestants -- they've got all the bases covered.

We have to pay for it, but, mercifully, we don't have to watch.
