Talk Show host threatens to kill cat

[GloriousOtaku]

so...?

[RapperNamedQUICK]

he didnt threaten to kill it he just said it was gunna die

[Shimiruu]

Strombo has epic puppy eyes

[hooley182]

I love Strombo!



[Giby86]

Ahahahaah! That was just brilliant! Brilliant! Everything, the rythm, the expression, not only a brilliant idea, but also an awesome delivery.

[HappyColouredMarbles]

How could you George?

[thesnarkasticone]

Good thing Harper didnt come..he most likely would have eaten that kitten.....ALIVE.

[newnilzizi]

That looks like an uncomfortable chair.

[xEtiquettex]

He is a wonderful and intriguing interviewer. I do not watch the show regularly, but when I do it is always entertaining, pleasant and informative -- even in dealing with serious subjects. I think he does a superb job.

[securepasskjs500]

Stroumboulopoulos has always come across as a smug douchebag and this video shows no different. Why should Harper feel obliged to show up on a second rate Daily Show-clone?

[kuryamtl]

@securepasskjs500 someone is a harper fan.....

[patrick112590]

@securepasskjs500 The answer is he wouldn't, because he's obviously too spineless to do so. Harper doesn't want to be questioned, he wants to be obeyed.

[fanboy199]

ya kill all cats

[TheConciseStatement]

Diefenbeker! Nice to know I'm not the only one who remembers that programme.

[ViperRob42]

[jaxinthebocks]

agreed gorge is fucking boss

[komodoman]

Only ASSHOLES think such 'jokes' are 'funny', we've truly become a society with no morals...

[gladeplugins]

I love cats, and I thought the joke was funny. I'd say that I do have morals in spite of my sense of humor!

[buttercupcake27]

no please dont =(

[xxPowerOnxx]

OH come on people, he wasn't really serious about killing the cat. Harper didn't wanna do the show cause he knows George was gunna hardball him.

[jaylunz]

dude your a fagget

[cmcavoy84]

I'd do anything if you gave me those puppy dog eyes...

[jmewho]

slut

[FCPCOLIN]

lawl

[chii2005]

:( poor kitten

[ARandomCanadian]

funny when conservatives watch this they start whining but when they watch the "How to defeat communism" they start laughing and say "Kill those fukning cats!"

capitalism lol

[ARandomCanadian]

"How to Battle Communism" sorry

[paddy6062]

WHAT?????

[CraZyCarl6212]

what in the fuck?

[jaylunz]

its funny as hell wen you audio preview it

[jedirock]

LOL, Stephen Harper does not care enough to be on the show and save the cat, he is to busy with his Bilderberg Buddies!!

[evanbUnderscore88]

wow... serenity now, people.

[loveashley213]

give the kitty to meeeh

[BDotBoom]

Holy shit. I would not have been able to to that with a strait face. Hilarious. George is so awesome ^_^

[xDilemmachinex]

It was an innocent joke and it worked. Stop your bitching.

[DaShnipa]

Wow, you people are taking this way too literally. It was a joke, some of us got a laugh, some you started screaming about animals rights etc etc. Get off your high horse for gods sake, no one wants to read your mindless babble. I kill something every day to prove my place on the face of this earth /end sarcasm. Go cry to PETA or Greenpeace, because no one would give you two dead baby seals for you to continue your half hearted rights activism.

[punkhater1000]

People got on their high horse years ago to try to right all the wrongs in the world made by people like you who for millenia have always been on their high horse thinking they can do whatever they please to other people, animals, the environment, even though they are wrong. You are a good example of that, you kill something every day, to "prove" your place in the world.  You are about power, authority, self-righteousness, barbarity, hatred, cruelty, and a sick sense of self-worth/self-position

[DaShnipa]

notice the /end sarcasm at the end of that rant. Your pathetic self righteousness is for some reason making me feel sorry for you. Go pet your cat, kick your dog I don't care but keep your mindless babble off of youtube.

[islandbrisa]

I am aware that people think this kind of mindless threat is funny. I don't think he will actually kill any one, but I think there are more intelligent ways to skewer Harper, an easy target. Is this really the best that The Hour writers could do? Maybe they should resign for plagiarism like Harper's writer. This 'joke' is so stale. Be original at least. George is a fine interviewer, but this is lame. I have a sense of humour, but only when things are actually FUNNY.

[FakeCup]

well it made me laugh, and if a joke with no serious meaning can induce a paragraph with that much passion.. then i seriously doubt your sense of humour

[samguy175]

just because you said that, i'm going to rape 3 puppies

[zeldood1]

thats awsome its just funny

[george77772moons]

"I call that frontier democracy"; and I call that being an a**wipe.

[pinkcheese000]

Hmmm....cat...harper....tempti­ng....

[jimdalling]

Animals have rights. They have the right to be eaten.

[pinkcheese000]

pfff..werido :P

[67mustangreg]

You sir (or mam) are a fucking ignorant asshole

[loveashley213]

umm no offence (jimdalling) but that wasnt funny

[wackedoutgurl]

You know for a canadian based show, george does pretty well in not only getting the top personalities, but getting them to talk as well.

Harper has a chip on his shoulder, it's a shame that there really isn't anyone that can bring him down at the moment... although a minority win would deflate his ego. Hmmmm...

[canadianmaple09]

Rock on George!

[chuckyfan10]

i love you mr dotto

[Rata4You]

George is awesome. For the limited budget he gets from our gov't he's got a talent that makes his show seem awfully big time. I hope nobody steals him from Canada.

[F40PHWIN]

His budget is likely pretty large, actually. His show is funded by the CBC, I assume, which has forever received a retarded amount of money from the government to operate.

[danouttatown]

lol. freaking hilarious.

[conqueror333]

George is the coolest!

[Kmath]

lighten up. Joke.

[pornfartin]

offer harper a baby, i bet he can't turn down his favorite meal! Or offer to cut the gst on gas if the price rises above 85 cents p/liter, oh wait, nevermind.

[Chantellio]

Ok so I love George. I love the Hour. It's normally unbiased and I really enjoy his interviews. I am also for animal rights but seriously.PEOPLE! He's not going to kill the cat it was a joke and you guys are getting way too worked up about this. I thought it was funny! Get over it.

[jchiapet]

yeah i know, i'm pretty sure there is no cat, it's just a stupid picture. people need to breathe and relax.

[islandbrisa]

SPOT PROMOTING ANIMAL CRUELTY, GEORGE. I have always enjoyed watching The Hour, but I had to turn it off last night when I saw this retarded pitch. I think this is a corny-shit ploy. Stephen Harper will never go on The Hour. You're being a jackass and it makes it seem like you're trying to appeal to the delinquent teenager demographic. Threatening to murder an animal won't bring your ratings up, but being smart and interesting might. FAIL.

[islandbrisa]

I meant 'stop', obviously.

[carmie1818]

I think you are taking this a little too seriously. You don't honestly think he will kill the cat, do you?

Lighten up.

[Rata4You]

You've proven to me that there actually are people who lack a sense of humour. I thought at one time how that is possible but then on a science program a week ago I saw scientist mention that there is a "humour region" of the brain....then I finally saw your comment & it's a lock. YOU DO NOT HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR.

[kuryamtl]

its called a joke, and if you are at all familiar with the internet, you would be familiar that this has been done before online jokingly. I am a vegetarian for chrissake and I found this hilarious. And even if there is a liberal bias, CBC, george himself, in his numerous interviews, you can see he really tries to get to the heart of the issue. He has interviewed people who would seem to becoming from the right wing... and he didn't go roughshod over them.

[inquisitor1984]

lol. killing an animal isn't murder.

Strombo rocks. Harper better do The Hour or I'm not voting for him.

[jimdalling]

I kill and eat cats. They are almost as tasty as puppies. Killing isn't cruelty to animals - it's farming, or research. I would kill every animal on the planet if it meant saving one human life.

[sthebg20]

That's disgusting. How come one human is worth more than every animal on the planet? I would put my life on the line and kill YOU if you ever think of laying a hand on my cat. Evil speciest! You should be euthanized. (sp?)

[jimdalling]

Lighten up! It's a joke.  People are so hyper sensitive about silly little things.

[islandbrisa]

Proving my point exactly about delinquents. Sorry to burst your bubble jimmy boy, but you are a mammal and therefore an animal. I hope to hell you are sterile.

[samguy175]

i hope to hell you find your sense of humour jack ass

[EddieDaman31]

George is Awesome, probably the best talk show host ever

[Mathesonguy]

I Luv this Hour page.

Bring it on lefties.

Do you want to talk to me about the well being of our Nation, our standing in the world, our contribution to history?

Harper08, Obama08

It makes alot of sense. Get used to it.

Heard about a free trade deal in the works with the E.U. sans the U.S.

Does anyone agree with me that this sounds like an important oppourtunity?

Keep your eyes on the prize my fellow Canadians.

[carmie1818]

You do realize that Harper would much prefer to see McCain win the presidential election? The Conservatives have had a long relationship with the Republicans, you see the righties in our country have this thing about sticking their noses up Republicans butt's.

As far as our standing in the world is concerned, how would that be improved by Harper? The rest of the world hates Bush, and Harper is perceived as being a go-to-boy for the president.

[chrysXtal]

loved it!

[rnb8220]

and that's why Stroumboulopoulos is the best TV show journalist of any type EVER! heh heh

[bbbbmer]

george is SOOOO hot!!!!!

[Mathesonguy]

Did anyone know that the CBC had an ombudman BEFORE Vetrans Affairs got one in 2007!

What kind of priorites are those?

I am prouder of my country, and my PM now, then at any other time in my life.

If you can't think of any good that has come from the Harper government, then you are too far partisan, (or too ignorant), to be discussing Canadian politics.

Harper 08

[kennycreeper]

YEAH, BABY!

[melloreefer]

i agree... little dief the chief needs you to come through!!!

[chopin65]

LOL! That disproves the notion that Canadians are wimps! The old kitten ploy; good one George!

[Mathesonguy]

If Harper were a leftie he would show up in a minute to recieve softball questions from George.

If you want to improve hiding your bias when interviewing check out a true professional... Steve Pakin of the Agenda.

You may get the better guests, but this man is a real journalist.

I do like the show, however much we disagree sometimes. I just think you should pick your spots better when being critcal of Harper.

Maybe try thinking of something good that he's done, once in a while.

[carmie1818]

Yeah, like right-leaning journalists never show bias towards their preferred political guests. Ever heard of Fox news? The channel is constantly littered with Republicans, receiving their daily dose of "softball questions".

The Hour isn't about politics, it is about people and life. George is the best at making his guests feel at ease, and discuss matters that other journalists can't even touch.

[stevejmoffett]

I hear dat, bro.

[Mathesonguy]

I wasn't really comparing George to Billo or Brit Hume.

I am a righty in Canada which makes me a raving, liberal Obamanaut in U.S. Politics.

I just get upset over artists slaming 45 million in cuts (to some questionable projects to be sure), while their salaries ALREADY come from the government; and then wondering why he won't come on to be questioned.

Even lefties in this election (should) know that Harper is the wisest choice.

[carmie1818]

"Harper is the wisest choice"??? Yeah, if I am raping the oil sands in northern Alberta I might agree with you. He has fast-tracked all the deals for the petro companies in that province.

Do you remember when the United States invaded Iraq, Harper wanted Canada to jump in with them. What will he decide if the U.S. decides to invade Iran?

No, this guy aligns himself with the Republicans far too much for my liking.

[TVParkdale]

What many people don't realize about those cuts is that the jobs aren't just artists--much of that money is connected to youth programs for kids in poor neighbourhoods to learn computer art, graphic arts, music, filmmaking etc.

That doesn't mean kids get a job out of it but it does mean they have something better to do [while learning discipline and social skills] than hanging around worshiping the local drug dealer.

[pinkmst]

Ok dont yo dare compare teve Pakin and George theyare both suppirior on there in there OWN fields and Steve Pakin tends to soften up to the politicians which makes most people sick well George doesnt and forces them to tell it like it is. Oh and by the way Harper has done nothing good for Canada, for people in the 70000 and above income a year rang possibly. But he has done absolutly nothing for those at and bellow the poverty line.

[Mathesonguy]

I make well under $70 000 a year.

You are totally blind about Pakin.

The far left + Religious right will ruin Canada. Unholy Alliance. Intolerance desiguised as tolerance. Wake up please!

[jackanapeVO]

Palin thinks the earth is 6000 years old and thinks man existed along with dinosaurs.

Were there velociraptors on Noah's Ark too?

Nice dichotomy. If you aren't right, you're left. No chance of a middle ground, no chance of moderate values.

Are you sure you aren't one of those religious right?

[forrenz]

Don't let Diefenbaker down, Mr. Harper!

[pinkmst]

Save that Kittie!!!lol
