Saturday, July 01, 2006Is there anything that can't be blamed on America?
Lord of the Rings closed early because it was expensive and because it just isn't the kind of show that can be done on stage. I wasn't surprised by it's closure. |
But Toronto mayor David Miller doesn't blame the Mirvish's folly, or the price of admission, or the fact that Hobbit holes and giant all-seeing eyes don't take well to the stage. He blames America: I believe the real reason for the show's lower attendance was summed up by Mayor David Miller who suggested the reluctance of American tourists to visit Toronto was the probable cause. And why are they reluctant, Mr. Mayor? Why do the Americans not want to spend their hard-earned holiday money in a city that vilifies and despises them? That ridicules and belittles them? Yes, perhaps I should run for mayor. At least the Americans will be welcome again. And we can banish the happy-clappy, granola-crunching, yankee-haters back to middle earth (or the middle east) where they belong.
