Oh comon you guys, its funny and is meant to amuse people over the christmas. LC is one of the wittiest people I have ever come accross and I,m sure he would have a good old laugh at this . Take it in the spirit it was meant, lighthearted, and lets not all get too deep in analysis.
Wishing all the forum members a merry Christmas, and a happy healthy and peaceful New Year.

Me too, so I'm not saying how funny our Forum - sometimes - should be seen "from outside"

"Like a bird in the oven" - it's not hillarous but worth a giggle, I'll probably be singing it myself this year.marylamb wrote:Oh comon you guys, its funny and is meant to amuse people over the christmas.

They only played ~ 20 seconds of the Leonard Cohen bit on the show. I thought it was a nice shout out to one of our icons.

I'm with scocoh, that was pretty lame.
I guess the fact that Leonard is recognizable enough to be so shamelessly parodied is a weird sort of tribute, as horridly (and falsely) stereotypical as it was.

No CBC on my cable, so am hoping this will make its way here or to youtube.
