All the game threads. (It's only teenage wasteland.)

If I really try
To write a Haiku for you
Would you applaud it?

There once was a man
Of Nantucket, who carried
His balls in a bucket

Darned Haikus. Can’t finish it. :(

I see my navel.
It has lint; too bad, so sad.
I look away, now.

A leaf falls to Earth
The sound cannot be ignored
A whisper of spring
just a 10-4 guy in a 9-5 world
Keeping them from kicking our asses for talking about it like they aren't going to kick our asses for talking about it is the hard part.

You do not know Bob?
"natural male enhancement"
this does not ring bells?

Canada TV
must be very different from
that in the US.

Bob has a big smile
and Mrs. Bob has one too
Bob has been "enhanced"

What's up Ikyoto?
It's good to see you again.
I hope you will stay.

You are lucky if
Never having to listen
To awful theme song

Last time that piece of
You-know-what came on the tube
I turned off Star Trek

Hi there Ikyoto
Long time no see, we all wish
You'd hang out here more :D

Yes. Look at this. All folks outside Canada, you will laugh. You will sigh. You will roll your eyes ...

http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/file ... directads/

"In Canada, there's a limit to what drug ads can say: they can advertise the name of a product or say what it treats. But they cannot do both at the same time. Like the Viagra ad, you only see ads that give the name of the drug and only hint at what it's for." :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:

You can only IMAGINE watching such a commercial ... actually, probably a lot funnier and (of necessity) more sophisticated than elsewhere. 8)

Or, as a Haiku:

In Canada
You can show name or treatment
But never both.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_substitution

“In Canada, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission allows Canadian television broadcasters to require simultaneous substitution of their channel for U.S. channels when they choose to simulcast a show; consequently, they often do choose to do so. Although sometimes controversial, this practice is seen as as a way to protect the broadcast rights and commercial revenues of Canadian television broadcasters, by ensuring that the Canadian commercials are seen by nearly all viewers of the program.[citation needed]
For example, Global airs several popular American series such as The Simpsons. With simultaneous substitution, Global can ensure that advertisements purchased on their network are seen by nearly all Canadians watching the show at that particular time, rather than losing advertising revenue because some viewers were seeing the FOX affiliate's commercials instead.”

Advertisers here often substitute their own commercials. Must look up the definition of “steal”. :wink: Actually, I think there is some compensation deal.

So must turn away.

The snow is so deep
The shovel leans, mocking me.
This is only fall!
