Historicist: "The city that nobody loves"

The Making of a Medley

Mookie Morris isn't the only local Canadian Idol contestant with a lawn-based cheering section. We spotted this sign for Sebastian Pigott on an east end street yesterday evening, mere minutes before he was voted off the island, or whatever it is that they do to eliminate false Idols. Sebastian's hunky full-colour signs put Mookie's single-colour quickies to shame, but a slick sign is obviously not enough to guarantee a win in a teenybopper popularity contest.
The local boys' duelling signs and extension of their contest to the city's front lawns—and people's willingness to publicly declare their pop culture allegiances—are definitely attention-grabbing, but not so much so that we'd actually vote or sit through an episode of Canadian Idol. It's kinda like a real election that way.

Anyone resorting to this is so smitten with Sebastian that reason has gone out the window.
A few votes don't make a major difference on a broadcast like Canadian Idol.
Maybe the smitten one doesn't realise that there are more voters in the rest of Canada than are here in GTA. And probably there would be votes against Torontonians simply because of the nation's penchant to be anti-Toronto.
stop the madness!
The poster looks like something from the 80s.
We are the glue that keeps the Country together, if there was no Toronto to hate, they would have nothing to keep them together as Country, after all the Country is just a giant Suburb of Toronto, they just can't deal with it. Not like it's our fault and it is not a reason to hate us over it, we can't help we are just that important.
