5 Feet of Fury

Why don’t professional Canadian journalists point out that ‘Shit From Hell’ is Warren Kinsella’s ‘punk’ band…?

…when they write about Rolf Dinsdale’s candidacy in Brandon-Souris, Manitoba?

Not even as a tart aside, even when Warren Kinsella is standing beside him in a photograph? Nothing?

(Ooops, found one. But the majority coming up on Google News say nothing.)

Interesting:

The person expected to represent the Liberals in an upcoming federal byelection says he is not misleading voters through his online biography, where he lists experience as a senior executive at Facebook.

Rolf Dinsdale, the only candidate so far for the Liberal nomination in Brandon-Souris, was never an employee of Facebook. He worked for a Toronto company called Segal Communications, which handled sales for Facebook advertising in Canada between 2007 and 2009.

“Well, maybe I better change a couple of sentences here, but I don’t think I’m being misleading at all,” Dinsdale said Wednesday.

In an interview with Sun News, Dinsdale sheepishly admits that Kinsella’s little musical extracurricular activity — which he’s used for years to boost his “street cred” — isn’t really very “punk” or even much of a “band;” I love that his attempted defense of the band is that “one of them is a lawyer!” as if that’s supposed to impress normal people.
