Vancouver Papers: I think I know why Animals Eat Their Young

I have to say that I was pretty disapointed that after the Lions won the Grey Cup there wasn't more mass hysteria. Then again, since the onslaught of Vancouver being very close to banana republic territory with this water problem. But when 24 Hours goes for "Lion Kings" on the front cover, you know without a doubt that nobody really cares. At least I could get a coffee this morning, unlike Friday, but that doesn't help much when I have to read this:

"In downtown bars, the hoisting of the Grey Cup brought plenty of cheer - and a couple of sighs of relief after a less- than-impressive second half from the Lions. 'It definitely wasn't a classic,' said Mike Shuttleworth, one of the more passionate fans at the Doghaus bar and grill, located across the street from B.C. Place. 'But it was a good solid game for the Lions.'"

For the record, who actually goes to the Doghaus? Is that for real? And who goes to the Doghaus to cover the Grey Cup? Probably the same kind of guys who chuckles at Iain MacIntyre's opening line in todays Sun. "Not since Dorothy and Toto survived the Wicked Witch of the West and made it home to Kansas has anyone been as relieved as the Vancouver Canucks were Sunday to get back to where they started." The Sun also went for broke on their cover with "Lions Roar in Winnipeg".

Over in The Province, after you get through the wall to wall B.C. Lions coverage, you get this amazing headline: "No Grinch rains on Santa's parade." What I find hard to believe is that 230,000 people ACTUALLY came out to watch this creepy homage to Christmas in the middle of November. And did they really put these two headlines out today. Front: Beautiful B.C. Back: Grey Pride. Really? Whatevs, I just can't wait for this in tomorrow's edition: "Dazzling Dogs - Having nightmares your chien isn't chic enough? Susie Wall has some stylish suggestions for pooch fashion." I can hardly stand it right now.
