"Times Seven" (Discovery Times / CBC Newsworld) on new ambassador: "F.U."

[Newsjock]

So I'm watching the new episode of Times Seven, the new newsmagazine jointly produced by The New York Times and CBC Newsworld, and the ever-popular Rick Mercer ("22 Minutes") is doing one of his trademark rants.

He's walking through an alley that's covered in colorful graffiti, talking about U.S.-Canadian relations, and the new ambassadors each country has named to the other. He gets to the point where he mentions the new U.S. ambassador to Canada, the one from South Carolina who doesn't know that much about Canada.

And as he does so, he just happens to walk by graffiti that says, quite visibly, "F--- YOU," fully spelled out!

I'll have to catch the next repeat tonight, and my quick reading of the Discovery Times schedule says this is on Monday night in the U.S. as well.
