Hello! We bring you freedom, democracy, and Caboose!
August 9, 2005
It always amazes me, and often alarms me, what one can find when cruising this great big Web of ours in the late hours of the evening. Most of the Canadian bloggers seem to be in bed now, which is sensible — as an Albertan, I’m at least one (if not two or more) hours behind most of the really good bloggers, who are all central-east in location. And while the B.C. bloggers might still be awake and cruising, I don’t read many blogs out of B.C., so I couldn’t tell you if that was the case.
You know, I’ve struggled with whether I support the U.S. invasions in Afghanistan and Iraq, and even now I haven’t come to a clear determination as to what I believe. But every so often, even in these conflicts, a funny anecdote crops up.
Sometimes you have to dig for them. Tonight it was easy. From the website of Red Vs. Blue, the -based web cartoon series:
Any movie producer will tell you that foreign distribution is key to the success of any project these days. And Red vs Blue is no exception — but our markets are a little different than most. In terms of DVD shipments overseas, England is number one, Australia is second and running a very close third are Iraq & Afghanistan, thanks to all the men and women that are serving over there. That’s right. Apparently, nothing says “newfound democracy” better than a Red vs Blue Season 3 DVD.Trackback Link: http://rvb.roosterteeth.com/viewEntry.php?id=133
This has had me in stitches on an otherwise rather sad evening. I suppose the next thing we’ll hear is of Strong Bad being used at Gitmo?
