The only conclusion we can draw is that the Canadian Thought Police are a very odd bunch. A very odd bunch indeed.
Ann Coulter gets banned for potential offensive speech. A Canadian comedian responds to lesbian hecklers and gets hauled before the tribunal. But the country has a porn TV network called Amour that operates freely and apparently isn’t considered offensive.
We can only conclude that things are quickly going south up north.
AdWeek describes the porn network’s new ad campaign:
“You won’t watch for the acting,” brags Canadian adult-entertainment network Amour in a bunch of new promos by Cossette. That’s probably true of the movies on Amour—but not of these ads, which feature bad acting by brainless bimbos honed to perfection. The hotties’ hopeless audition readings of Shakespeare and porn piffle like “It’s getting hot in here” and “Room for one more in that hot tub?” are spot-on. But the off-screen director seals the deal with his exuberant exhortations and earnest encouragement. Oddly, these spots are also satisfying with the sound off.
Maybe Coulter should have just announced that she was going to speak topless.

while i dont like ann coulter, she should have been allowed to speak. she makes a big enough ass of herself everytime she opens her mouth anyways.
but still, the only thing scarier than fascism is the thought of ann coulter naked.
...or Elana Kagan, Janet Reno, Janet Napolitano, Barbara Mikulski, Hillary Clinton, Christina Romer, Janeane Garofalo, Whoopi Goldberg, & there are other lib-chicks who are too hot & sexy to think about in the nude.
You 1st point is correct, let people say what they are about & expose themselves. Whether it's Ann Coulter OR Keith Olbermann, let em talk & we will decide. Information is power.
Wow, man, I had to close my virtual eyes when I started reading your list. Other names popped up, too, like Rosie, Oprah, anyone that's been appointed by the prez... Yikes!
Both of your points are well taken, though ;-)
Wow. I would laugh only if Canada wasn't being so stupid with the thought policing. If this is OK yet standing up for one's opinions on the public square is not okay it is disgusting.
