Your daily flat-WHAT

A senior Conservative cabinet minister has made my Monday by dropping one of the most hilariously WTF statements ever uttered by a Canadian politician who wasn't the Honourable Wife-Beater.
There is no response worthy of such a statement but a stream of Psy gifs.

That's right, kids! You wouldn't have K-Pop if Canadians hadn't battled communism.

Wait, were we even in the Korean War? And, um, didn't that one kind of end in a stalemate?

Anyway, it's a statement worthy of some of the DPRK's more hilarious moments. Also, where are the Tories keeping their stash of crack, and did they bring enough for the rest of the country?
(The Star responds, cheekily: "There was no word either on whether Canadian veterans would be saddled with responsibility for the current free fall down the musical charts that the South Korean artist’s follow up song, “Gentlemen,” has experienced in recent weeks.")
In "Things Canadians Actually Did Do," news, we are totally complicit in the brutal murder of a Chiapas anti-mining activist. So there's that.
“We talk about Gangnam Style. There wouldn’t be a Gangnam Style if we hadn’t had the sacrifice of Canadians, members of the United Nations who came together with a resolve to ensure that we repelled communism,” [Veteran’s Affairs Minister Steven Blaney] said.

Aargh, LJ coding. Let me try something... Well, if I can't fix it, here's the link to it, anyways.
Also, dear LJ, having a gorram preview button on the comments again would save poor Sabs from having like ten almost-identical email versions of this sent to her while I try to get the coding to work. just saying.
*His One Hit Wonderland series is pretty entertaining too, and a heck of a lot more in-depth than one might expect from an Internet reviewer.
