I was watching a tape I made from Bravo, the new Canadian TV network
which debuted a couple of days ago. The show in question was KYTV,
a rather rude English comedy show with what some might consider
racist and sexist content.

Before this show was a standard warning:

"The following program is intended for an adult audience and may contain
scenes with nudity, coarse language and mature subject matter.
Viewer discretion is advised."

But catch this, yet another warning! Obviously these people have been
given the word from the CRTC, Canada's ass-kissing broadcast regulatory
authority to toe the politically correct line!!

"Morals and attitudes in other countries are not always the same as
they are here in Canada. Please bear this in mind as you watch the
following program."
