And here I thought they were doing it because it's cheaper overseas.
Silly me...when's the last time our government did something different because it was cheaper?

Since PF mentioned Gangsters I thought maybe some hardcore rapper had produced their own rendition of a classic Christmas song or something and that it didn't sit well with him.

I think he's just upset about Red Green being off the air due to Christmas Specials the last two weeks. But then again he's upset all the time.

I've been giving this matter serious consideration. (Something that's not good when you're a) sick as a motherfuck, and b) a dumbass)
According to the news, the case of Khaled al-Masri, 41, a German citizen allegedly handed over to the US by Macedonian agents in 2004, helped spark the controversy.
Kuwaiti-born Mr Masri was seized close to the Macedonian border as he headed towards Albania following what he has described as a row with his wife in Germany. After being held for three weeks in the Macedonian capital, Skopje, Mr Masri says he was beaten, handcuffed, blindfolded, drugged, and flown to a CIA prison in Afghanistan.
Mr Masri alleges he was held in Afghanistan for five months, often in solitary confinement, while US agents interrogated him.
Eventually the CIA concluded they had simply made a mistake, and Mr Masri was returned to the Balkans, dumped close to where he was found, and eventually made his way back to Germany.
I'm sorry, but Mrs. WI wouldn't buy that story.

*tippy toeing through the thread with an unassuming costume on (I'm dressed like Lady Godiva...DUH!) so as not to be noticed...but being oh so curious!*
***dashes away and yanks the long blonde wig off as the revolving door hits me in the ass***
Hey! I am "the curious one" and I had to see what the hub-bub was about *she says in her bestest Lady Godiva voice* (<---whatever that sounds like????)

Yeah and if you stay still for a second he'll be glad to tell you about the Telethons and the Specials that keep him off the air for weeks, even though he has all the eposodes on tape I think.
