Canadian broadcasting chairman forced off his throne

Posted 09.27.2006 by daphne
Bowing to pressure from various political figureheads, Guy Fournier has resigned as the Chairman of the Board for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. After completing less than one half of the four-year term to which he agreed, Fournier is stepping down because of remarks that he made in interviews during the last couple months: one about bestiality, and one about pooping.

In an article he wrote for the magazine 7 Jours, Fournier derided what he claimed were Lebanese sexual habits of bestiality. "In Lebanon, the law makes it possible for men to have sexual intercourse with animals as long as they are females. To do the same thing with male animals could lead to the death penalty."

Well, that's pretty gross if it's true. (And discriminatory, if you ask me.)

The opined sentiment caused a serious racket in the Lebanese community and in other areas of the Canadian government. Fournier made a public retraction of the statements, contributing them a case of mistaken information. But then, in the same disgusted tone that they took on his remarks about bestiality, the Canadian press began talking about some statements Fournier made about poop.

His own poop, by the way. Not someone else's. While being interviewed by a Toronto community radio station last May, Fournier gave the audience a treat when he extolled the pleasures of defecating. ''The most extraordinary thing is that, in the end, as you grow older, you continue to go poop once a day if you are in good health, while it is not easy to make love every day. So finally, the pleasure is longer lasting and more frequent than the other.''

This statement is as bad as accusing another country of enacting legislation so its male citizens may fuck sheep or goats? C'mon, Canada! Fournier is human, and quite an old human at that! Of course he's going to enjoy taking a dump. At the age of seventy-five, taking a poop is something to be celebrated.

Why would the media perceive taking a good, healthy dump as a statement equal in offense as one insulting an entire country? What is it the connection between bestiality and pooping in the eyes of Canadian politicians? I can only surmise they must see both activities as repulsive and unnatural -- which is pretty sad. I have news for you, oh Canada: you should have heeded the Kids in the Hall's sage wisdom in their skit "Granpa's Poo" -- because it could some day very well be you who hasn't pooped for six years. It might be you who gets an ovation at dinner from your family for finally dropping one lonely kid off at the pool. I cannot and do not want to believe that the same country who gave us some of cable television's best ever sketch comedy will then act as if admitting one enjoys being able to move those creaky old pipes is wrong.

Oooo, blame Canada.

This is just gross.
I read it only because there weren't any posts.
Now I see why.
Eww.
Poop on!

After the Lebanese bestiality comments, they were looking for any reason to get rid of him. Think about it. It doesn't matter how great a career anyone has. If they're old and making up Lebanese bestiality tales, that's going to make people think he's creepy. You can't expect people not to freak out if, after that, he says pooping is better than sex for him at his age. They'll think he constantly has deviant sex acts on his mind.

On a slightly different note:
I hope pooping never becomes better than sex. Sure, taking a good dump is great, but the other is ever so much better.

I want to clear something up right here and now. I LOVE CANADA. I love its beer, Niagra Falls, and their cute money. One of my 2 bestest friends ever is Canadian.

If this article seemed like I was totally trashing Canada for something our country wouldn't do, I apologize. I just want to say that.

And when I get that age, you can be damned sure I'll be happy as hell to poop. Damn skippy.

Don't worry, Daph. You didn't come off that way at all.

Trashing politicians, or political systems, is a global joy, and responsibility, dearest Daphne, and you did a fine job. In no way, shape,or form did you disparage the citizens of our northern neighbor, as I'm sure our buddy Di can attest to...that is, unless she's drunk.

"He has increasingly lost the confidence of Canada's new government."

Personally, i'd feel good about having a guy who's willing to admit that he shits like the rest of us.

I'm reminded of a remark that a friend of mine made a few years ago: "I've interviewed politicians who haven't had a good BM in years."

Well, I`d never heard of Mr Fournier before, but I salute him.

He`s an old guy, and for all I know he`s been shagging like a jackrabbit since he was 10 years old. No wonder at his age he prefers a good honest satisfying dump.

As for Lebanese enjoying a fine lady sheep, or more likely goat or shoat, why the hell not. Most southern Europeans and Welsh folk are renowned for this. A poor old pensioner was arrested just after dawn in England a few months ago for "interfering with a cow" - he`d even brought his own stepladder along.

Great comment! +1 point

Excellent report Daphne. One of the things most people won't be aware of is that the CBC is a completely publicly funded network (our tax bucks at work). Mr. Fournier was appointed to this position by a Liberal government and is no big fan of the Conservative government which has since been elected here.

While his comments regarding beastiality are bizarre by any stretch there is widespread misinformation about the acceptability of beastiality in Islamic countries, as far as I've been able to uncover there is no support for this behaviour, but there are many interpretations which could be misconstrued as permitting it.

Mr. Fourniers comments regarding shitting were completely taken out of context and this is usually the sign that there is an agenda behind the attack. The paper Daphne cites is a very conservative one which is pro war in Iraq, as close to right wing as we get here in Canada as a big news organization, it's the biggest supporter of the Conservative party so it didn't surprise me that there was no mention of the context in which his comments were made or the tone used.

Mr. Fournier is replaced by a person more in line with the Conservative governments agenda in spite of his past (uncontrollable budgets, shitty programming, bad management) he'll toe the line for the Conservatives until they can drum up someone even more to their liking.

As they say at the CBC, "Politics as usual".

Bunga should have done this article! Ah hell, as long as the comments are this good, I can't feel all that bad.

You know, I got the idea the newspaper tried to make it crazier than it was, and the odd thing is that I found myself being swept along until I remembered to think for myself. I hate it when I do that.

There must be some truth to this. A close friend of mine told me that "Hezbollah is proof that Lebanese men screw sheep and then eat them for dinner."

And he should know! He works for Mossad.
