Vancouver Papers: M.C. Hammer Guest Editor?

24 Hours amazingly seems to be guest edited by M.C. Hammer this morning, with a catchy "Can't Touch This" headline and big story about useage of the Olympic ring logos. "Vancouver will be able to use an integrated logo comprised of the VANOC Inukshuk symbol and the words "host city". But it can't automatically use the famous rings alone, or even the Games themselves to promote the city." Or as The Hammer would say:

"My, my, my, my music hits me so hard Makes me say oh my Lord Thank you for blessing me With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet Feels good when you know you're down A superbowl homeboy from the Oaktown And I'm known as such And this is a beat uh you can't touch "

In The Sun, you have the political fallout of the border guards running away Sunday in the face of danger: "Toronto area Liberal MP Derek Lee ignited an uproar in the House of Commons Monday when he called unarmed border guards in B.C. "wimps" for walking off the job Sunday after U.S. authorities warned them an armed murder suspect was headed for the border." And you can also vote on "hits we love to hate" with some introduction by "Cheryl Hickey, the musically savvy host of Entertainment Tonight Canada, to tell us about the hit song she loves to hate." The racktacular barbie doll thinks it's "Wind Beneath My Wings". And of course the is media intregration from the overlords at Canwest. Bless them!

The Province ledes with the ship that ran aground yesterday off Stanley Park, although even for the Province the "Grounded" title seems fairly obvious. Now, on the back page it's shirts off! But it's really about the White Caps and Soccer, and so really, does anyone actually care I ask? Seriously?

Sept.26/06 National Post newspaper page A3. Story on Opral Winfrey now on radio also. She has a magazine too and of course her TV show. Amazing how people-mostly women blindly buy books Opral recommends.

Re: Soccer. I care, seeing as you asked. Seriously. So make that 1 person! Or rather me and the other 97 million who watched each World Cup match.
