F’ing hilarious on two fronts

Posted by Jonathan Ross

Colbert brutalized Ujjal...and they both loved it.

Ujjal plays the straight man well and Colbert is excellent as usual.  Although, the Himalayas most definitely extend into India, so I am not sure what he was talking about.  I also liked the fact that Colbert was able to pronounce his name much better than many Canadian commentators, who regularly brutalize the delivery.

The second funny piece of the day comes from…OK, wait for it…the Georgia Straight’s Charlie Smith.  What a surprise.

Smith takes issue with the fact that the City of Vancouver website has a portion of it devoted to…again, wait for it…the Mayor.

Oh the horror.

And get this…he has a video promoting Vancouver as a Green Capital to the world.

I know…a disgrace of epic proportions.

I mean, it’s not like other cities have profiles of their Mayor on their websites.

That would be ridiculous.

Great reporting, as per usual Charlie.  Keep up the tough investigative journalism.

“We’re really asking people to be respectful of the diversity of our community.  People live down here because of the diversity, they feel safe within diversity, and that’s a really important value for us.” – Brent Granby, West End Resident’s Association
