More on "Queer Eye"

There was an article in our paper yesterday on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I would never have seen it, except that Mom pointed it out to me, so then I had to see what the Calgary Herald had to say about it.

(I'd provide a link to the text of the whole article, but I've been unable to find it on canada.com.)

( This article just gave me several more reasons to hate QESG. Do not read if you like this show, I'm feeling bitchy )

Mom had a lot to say about how Carson Kressley is color blind. I mentioned to her that I'd read an interview where he said he designed his sister's prom dress, and all she could say was, "Oh dear. Oh my. Oh dear."

The paper is full of disturbing things lately

The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission is going to be granting Famous Players theatre locations in Calgary and Edmonton liquor licenses.

Yeah, liquor licenses. They're going to be selling beer in movie theatres now.

Why? What's the point of this, beyond making more money? It's so idiotic. Movie theatres are places where people take their kids for afternoon matinees, where people go to hang out as friends. Now they're going to be selling alcohol?

The arguments for this seem to be:

- alcohol will not be served to minors (yeah, right)
- there will be limits on consumption (hole punches on tickets)
- people will only be allowed to drink in the lobby
- live theatre venues serve liquor in the lobbies

Help!

Suggestions very welcome. And anyone who wants to rip apart my grammar should feel free to do that, as well.
