The tax-payer funded Canadian Heritage<\/a> is, in its wisdom, supporting a Vancouver punk rock group, Living With Lions<\/a>. This scrofulous bunch of nitwits, having decided that their musical talent is insufficient to appeal to a buying public, are selling scatology instead. Their latest album is: \u201cHoly Shit, the Poo Testament\u201d. Who could resist that?<\/p>\n

Here<\/a> are the disgusting details:<\/p>\n

Vancouver punk rockers Living With Lions<\/strong> just released their sophomore album today. It’s called Holy Shit<\/em>, is subtitled “The Poo Testament,” and has liner notes that recreate the Ascension with Christ portrayed as a turd. Oh, and the album is sponsored by the Canadian government.<\/p>\n

The album is designed to resemble a Bible, complete with liner notes written as verses, a cracked binding, and yellowed pages. The last line of the band’s acknowledgements reads, “We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Canadian Heritage also sponsors numerous Canadian papers<\/a>, including the Anglican Journal (it receives $500,000 per year).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for the Canadian Government to dissociate itself entirely from ersatz newspapers and so-called \u201cart\u201d and let endeavours like the Anglican Journal and Living with Lions fend for themselves: they wouldn\u2019t last long and we’d all be better off.<\/p>\n

As an aside, I wonder what would happen if something similar were tried with the Koran?<\/p>\n
