He nicely obliged, and went outside and frolicked for. us, and the photographer had to lay down on her stomach in the snow, and then she got stuck, because she didn 't want to put the camera down in the snow. The moral of the story? it was nice and warm outside, and boy, snow is. fun.

One day she saw a DeathStar in the sky. The teader of the DeathStar was really really hot, so she ran away from her planet and lived happily ever with the really hot DeathStar guy in a place where the weather is warm, the beaches are uncrowded, and the drinks are fruity and never stop.

This half hour has 22 By Dan Verbin, Excalibur TORONTO (CUP) ~~ For a while, Rick Mercer was ore of the few bright lights on Canadian television. Whether it was as ‘the furiniest cast member of This Hour Has 22 Minutes or starring in his own show, Made In Canada, Mercer always displayed sharp-witted humour and a great ability to make us laugh at being Canadian. Part of the CBC’s retooled Monday night lineup (along with The Newsroom and This Is Wonderland}, Mercer’s new show Rick Mercer’s Monday Report proves once and for all that those days are long gone. After watching Monday Report, I tried and tried to find something posi- tive to say about it; sadly, though, I couldn’t find anything. A combination of This Hour Has 22 Minutes-style Canadian satire, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, and stale Air Farce gags, the show wouldn’t be half-bad if Mercer had the ability to carry a program with unoriginal writ- ing and a cast of basically himself. Unfortunately, the Mercer of Monday Report seems like he is just going through the motions of being Rick Mercer, standing on stage and reading cue cards without any real con- viction. His lack of enthusiasm was yawns especially apparent during the delivery of the show’s opening monologue, where Mercer acted like he wanted to. just get things over with so he could go home and count his money. There was, however, a somewhat clever sequence where Mercer explained how the Ontario teachers’ pension fund is investing in the future of Ontario’s children by buying into things like malls and cigarette compa- nies. However, it was.quite reniiniscent of something you would probably see on Air Farce, and anyone who has watched that show in the past five years would realize that copying anything you’ve seen on Air Farce is akin to a death sentence for your career. Even Mercer’s rant about the Canadian military (or lack thereof) was more of a long rant than an update of the hilarious tirades he used to deliver on This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Mercer’s previous works were shin- ing examples of Canadian comedy at ‘its finest, but his new show is traly a colossal letdown - even for the CBC, which is not exactly a stickler for qual- ity control. ; Note to Rick Mercer: Ha, ha, we get ‘it, very funny; you’re making fun of another Canadian idiosyncrasy. Great. Now get some new jokes or pack ii in already.
