My Shoes Are Canada Council

Torontoist would like to apologize for the post we ran yesterday implying Stephen Harper's cuts to the arts were ill-advised or that the Department of Culture was right about anything at all. We've seen the error of our ways and, thanks to our new favourite band Hooded Fang, have grown to understand that arts funding is for rich and beautiful people to buy the shoes to wear to and the drugs to take at parties we will never be invited to because we aren't elite enough. Let's go burn some books!

Because posting smug, farcical videos featuring hipster doofuses is going to win over the masses on arts funding. Nice work.

"I am entitled to my entitlements!"

Different person, same elitist attitude.

It's a pretty funny song though. Love the Richard Florida reference.

I wonder if Ondaatje can pop and lock.

Spacejack: It's not farcical, it's satirical. It's not meant to be persuasive, it's meant to reflect the absurdity of Harper's assertions. The smugness is the joke.

I seriously recommend you all watch the other video I linked to as well.
