A National Post article claims Canada’s bureaucracy wants to make sure webporn is sufficiently Canadian. I am wondering what this involves. Here are my suggestions, but please add yours.
Pizza carried by delivery man will have to contain bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms or pineapple.
Background music must contain Canadian element such as noises from moose, loons or indigenous wildlife. Tunes with Canadian element (such as the theme song from the Definition game show or prominent artists) also acceptable.
TV repairman has to be licensed to major duopoly with prominently displayed logos.
Use of local foods such as maple syrup encouraged.
1% of videos must involve a Zamboni. In these videos, equipment must be referred to as “the stick”. Red light area must involve hockey net.
Poster on wall must reflect Canadian artist, band, museum, the CBC or a prominent politician.
Must involve product display or use of word “Clamato”
Mandatory reference to “weak American beer”, canoes, curling, dulce or battle which featured Canadian soldiers
Condoms must be made of (environmentally sensitive facsimile of) sealskin
Federal and Provincial tax credits available for using prominent Canadian businesses, but must display recognition following film. “Brought to you by a grant from the Rogers Foundation. And viewers like you.”
Sadly, I believe the National Film Board of Canada has long since lost its reputation for supporting exceptional, innovative animated films. Perhaps they could begin to restore their lost glory with some animated porn?
