Blogging the premiere of Little Mosque on the Prairie
I'm already offended. They're portraying prairie people as stupid, prejudicial, non-understanding hicks. The cops are shown as people who don't know sarcasm or a joke when they hear one, the townsfolk are shown as idiots who can't recognize praying, and everyone but the Muslims are portrayed as backwards. Not a single Muslim is shown as a buffoon, an idiot, or even close to imperfect.
What if the roles were reversed? What would the backlash be? What if the Muslims were portrayed as the backwards, rigid, non-understanding dolts?
The imam moving to the prairies was horrified to be taken into custody after talking about suicide while in a lineup at the airport. "This is Allah's plan for me." "It's not like I dropped a bomb on him." "If I'm throwing my life away then so be it." (He was talking about the sacrifice of moving from the Centre of the Universe (aka Toronto) to the prairies.
The talk show host was portrayed as a rabble-rousing (I never thought I'd like to use that term) anti-Muslim crap-spouting bigot.
"The Saudis couldn't find the moon unless there was oil spouting from it" was a comment from one of the Muslims. (Wow, does the CBC's anti-everyone bias ever end?)
Mayor Fitzy from Corner Gas is in this show, at least as a talking extra.
This is politically correct drivel. Further, it's a bad show. All that makes me, more and more, believe that we should stop forcing taxpayers to fund the CBC.

This show is not going to make it. Too stupid.
No offense Dave, but doesn't "stupid, prejudicial, non-understanding hicks" pretty much describe you?
"No offence."
Nice.
For such a witty comment, none taken, ad hominem-y.
Hate it after watching one episode? Why not? A lot of people agreed with me.
Could there be a CBC show I enjoy? Certainly. HNIC.
"Is it becasue [sic] the public funds the CBC and not corporate machines who have profit rather then people in their best interests?"
Nope, lefty, it's because I think the show sucks. But hey, if the show's good enough, it'll last a long long time, right?
Care to lay odds on that little bit of unlikelihood?
I think we should stop funding Environment Canada. The quality of the product is worse than the CBC!
How does your default Conservative view of denying global warming conflict with your understanding of the science?
Anon, point 1, prove it.
As for your fallacious second point, wow. I don't deny global warming at all. In fact, it's happening. Always has, always will. The question is, what's causing it? My understanding of the science is that "we have, as of right now, no idea."
Liberals good...Conservatives bad.
