Wouldn't it be nice if all ereaders were that robust.

Here you go. Is this the one you were trying to show?

Spoiler:

Only use the part showing inside the You Tube brackets. You can quote my post to see how it was done.

One of the funniest satires I've seen.

Did anybody else notice that they used a Kobo painted green? Check out the quilted back, and the button on the front...

It's not clear that the unit he threw across the room and jumped on stilled worked after that treatment... That would be rugged, eh?

Probably used a Kobo because he knew the Kindle couldn't stand the beat

Mercer is one the CBC's (and Newfoundland's) greatest assets. He manages to poke fun, make a point, and without a nasty edge. There are tons of Mercer snippets at his website linked through to YouTube. There's lots about Canadian politics but much else which is more about "modern living", as this one is.

He's also a wonderful foil for professional curmudgeon Rex Murphy.

I couldn't agree more. Rick is FUNNY, but also very, very sharp. I hate that RMR is only on for so short a season.

Me too. He needs to get a blog going on the show's site for stuff that occurs during the off season. I know he's a busy guy though, but he's a genius. I miss the original cast of This Hour has 22 Minutes. Greg and Rick were hilarious as well as the two old ladies. The new people are good, but the original cast were genius.
