Eating Our Own

July 21, 2006 @ 16:08

Typical. Typical that so many have taken the opportunity to attack George Stroumboulopoulos, one of the nicest guys in broadcasting.

And I'm not talking about anything that's been said or written in the states - who gives a shit what they say.

I'm talking about the Canadian crap that's been written since Strombo's new show "The One" debuted on Tuesday night.

It's a funny country this Canada. Reading some of the stuff you'd swear most of the jerk offs who wrote it were hoping the show would bomb. Hoping that a young Canadian guy, who got the chance of a lifetime, would fall flat on his face.

It's a security thing I think. Most of the arsholes who are in a position to pass judgment, deep down, are jealous. They can only dream of picking up the phone one day and having their agent tell them to get on a plane to Los Angeles as soon as you can.

It's a call that 99.999 percent of us will never get, and unfortunately that drives some people nuts. Especially some of the weasels in the print media.

One guy who really blew me away was Steve Tilley of the Sun. Here's a guy that didn't give Strombo a break going in, or out. His entire column on Wednesday was some piece of crap about a nose ring, with a couple cheesy lines thrown in about the name Stroumboulopoulos.

And on the subject of the nose ring. Some think George sold out. Are you kidding me?

If any of the critics who claim George sold out had the same opportunity, they'd run over your back dashing to the airport. Every single one of them.

George Stroumboulopoulos did what any responsible, talented ambitious young man would do. He pursued an opportunity. An opportunity that could have, and still might, lead to a show business career in the States that could make him millions and millions of dollars.

George Stroumboulopoulos has nothing to be ashamed of. And if the show "The One" does not survive he should have no regrets.

George Stroumboulopoulos has already lived an experience the vast majority of us can only dream of. But for some reason in Canada, that doesn't impress people, it pisses them off.

Go figure

Great concepts on this website. It's rare these days to find websites with data you are seeking. I am happy I chanced on this webpage. I will certainly bookmark it or even register for your rss feeds simply to be updated on your new posts. Keep up the nice job and I'm sure some other folks researching valued information will actually stop by and benefit from your website for resources.

And therein lies the problem. There are Replica Fashion Handbags that are called false Christian Louboutin. These shoes are less expensive and people are confused. These shoes are replicas of the original shoes, and there is very little from the originals and replicas. But here are two important things for the people who buy designer shoes are at home. The first fact is the quality and the following is the personality.

In order to effectively reword comments, you have to be creative and clever. Convince the author that just because the article is very bland, it's still content they should have it displayed on their Everpure EV932504 blog.
