I think Robert does too.)
I completely agree, Robert.
I was about to defend Toronto from Robert's slur :) when I suddenly
remembered a very silly thing that happened here a few years ago. An
obscure local band was supposed to play at some big public event in the City
Hall Square, but city council cancelled it because they thought the band's
name was sexist.
Luckily it didn't seem to hurt the band's career. Maybe you've heard of
them ... The Barenaked Ladies?
(Some people have absolutely no sense of humour.)
