Corner Gas - Participaction

Particpaction is on tour across Canada, looking for ways to get fat kids out of the basement ... so I went on to YouTube looking for the old 1983-era "Do It" Participaction PSAs to share with the youngsters at work.

And look what I found -- a clip from Corner Gas that not only spoofs the Participaction ads, but the Canada Fitness Test. The government-sponsored annual test that gave the rest of the class another reason to feel superior to the fat kids. Do they still do this test in schools? And is the FAIL rate higher now that fat kids are approaching majority status?

Happy 36th birthday to me. W00t. I'm older than I've ever been ... and now I'm even older .... and now I'm even older .... and now I'm older still.
