Promo Girl to the Rescue

By Joshua Errett

shelaghrogers.gifAs was reported in last Saturday’s Globe and Mail, the CBC is in dire need of our help. And it’s not exactly for funding or to fill an empty archives position — it seems that there have been a number of strange occurrences in and around the Mother Corp recently. The CBC Radio has put Promo Girl on the case, who is making public appeals for help with the mysteries. This week, it appears that Sounds Like Canada host Shelagh Rogers has been kidnapped. At post time, Promo Girl had strong suspicions about Play‘s main man with the microphone, Jian Ghomeshi, though the evidence is purely circumstantial.

Right now, let’s not point fingers, let’s just try to get Shelagh Rogers back safe and sound. Follow along here for clues…

    What’s really a mystery is how a third rate
    contest like Promo Girl in “The Mystery of…”
    yada yada yada actually gets on the air!
    Not particularly clever, amusing or even
    mildly irreverent, except perhaps to those
    directly involved with it.
    Talk about over-hypeing a lame duck contest.
    Bored?
    We’re talking James Bored with a licence
    to snooze and listening to this clag is
    killin’ me.
    Partying in Antigonish with Promo Girl
    and Sam Roberts and 20 CBC fawning,
    hipster dweebs on Labour Day, sounds
    like the kind of swag you’d find in
    specially marked cases of Molson Canadian!
    Here’s a thought, why not have the
    individual clues in this lame-o mystery
    actually involve a modicum of intelligence
    solving!?
    Oh well…
    At least I’ve managed to solve the mystery
    of what those ‘CBC’ call letters stand for…
    Contest – Blows – Chunks!

    Hey, thanks for dumbing down the Ceeb even further
    you oh so tragically hip and clever souls you.
