I should also say that's a really badly-written article about Trudeau.

Way to derail another thread

Though I agree with the general sentiment on Asterix. I mean come on! I will never understand the apparent self-loathing that seems to permeate a lot of the un-intellectual white middle-class left. And the general tendency of many elements across the political spectrum to confuse entertainment/art and reality frankly disturbs me. This is no better than the puritanical elements from the other side of the political spectrum sniping at video games and movies.

Exactly. Its funny because its so discriminatory. Creativity need not mimic the perfect perception of reality that is accepted by the mainstream.
