What Kind of God Would Allow Such a Thing to Happen?

posted by on November 26 at 11:27 AM

I thought I’d met my quota of Barenaked Ladies-related posts for this lifetime.

But then I got this press release:

Get into the spirit with the wonderful sounds of the Boston Pops Orchestra in A Holly Jolly Pops Holiday with Barenaked Ladies premiering nationally on public television beginning December 16th (check local listings)!

Hear “Jingle Bells” as you’ve never heard it before in this hour-long holiday treat. Join conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra and special guests, Canadian alternative rock band, Barenaked Ladies, as they give their own special twist to seasonal tunes. A Holly Jolly Pops Holiday with Barenaked Ladies is hip, merry viewing for the entire family.

To paraphrase Sartre: Hell is other people performing sassed-up, rocked-out Christmas carols.

is it just me, or does canada's national defense plan consist of making everyone in the world want to kill themselves through the spread of canadian 'rock' music.

Wow, I hope the interrogators at Guantanamo know about this - what a great opportunity for a new enhanced interrogation technique! The prisoners would probably beg them to switch back to waterboarding.

the only way this could get better is to add in a hootie and the blowfish guest appearance!
