I WANT TO EAT A NUT OF LAERMA!

Meh... there was just this commercial on Toronto-based City TV for some sort of contest, and the announcer cheerfully mentioned "Contest open to Canadians outside of Quebec". Fuck that! That is so fucking unfair... I think the Quebec government should piss off and not make Quebec residents ineligible from entering these out-of-province contests just because the contest-holders don't feel like providing contest rules in French. Well, it's a contest held by City TV, a Toronto and Vancouver-based channel which only broadcasts programming in English, so, really, what do I care if "Jean-Guy Unilingue" in Jonqui�re can't understand the contest rules? It's not like he was watching the channel in the first place. Yes, ideally, contest rules would be provided in multiple languages, but I think contests held by English-language TV channels won't be of interest to non-bilingual Francophones, so why should Quebec Anglophones get the shaft? Well, we always do...
