Room 735: Blame Canada

I love the Olympics.  Not just because I have a weird--not quite sexual but not sure what it is--crush on Bob Costas.  I mean, "love", as in I've watched curling.  And I've said to the TV while watching curling, "Sweep! Sweep! Sweep! Sweep!"  So I'm all over Vancouver right now.  And understandably, in between the Morgan Freeman narrated Visa commercials and the various Olympic athlete endorsement deals, there is a "Come to British Columbia" ad.  Did you know that Kim Cattrall is Canadian?  Me neither.  (Insert Sex and the City, Eh Joke. Or Insert Sex and the Territory Joke. Or Insert Government Funded Health Care and the City Joke.  I'll stop.)  Did you know Ryan Reynolds is Canadian?  I think I did for some reason.  The ad features Reynolds looking all rugged and wildernessy.  I think he's by a campfire.  I'm sure that fire will figure heavily in many women's Ryan Reynolds Lumberjack fantasies.  Not my fantasy though.  No offense to Reynolds but I delighted in seeing Michael J. Fox pimp out his home territory.  I definitely knew he was Canadian.  In fact, I recall thinking he was exotic because he was from Canada.  Hey, I was ten.

Sarah MacLachlan was also in the ad.  It's terrible that when I hear her voice I think of abused animals.  I blame you, ASPCA!  Take back your free mailing labels!
