CBC’s 75th Anniversary Party Marred By Surprise Appearance Of Jian Ghomeshi

A Canadian humor site I've been meaning to link for a while, The Smew (no, I don't know what it means, either).

TORONTO, ON—A private CBC event celebrating the broadcaster’s 75th anniversary was disrupted on Tuesday when an uninvited Jian Ghomeshi, wearing a party hat and shouting, “Here comes the gravy, bitches!” crashed the event and attempted to mingle with the invited guests.

Despite CBC anchor Peter Mansbridge’s attempt to engage Ghomeshi in conversation and defuse the situation, Ghomeshi reportedly refused to leave “until the CBC [stated] on air that [pop star] Lights is an actual musician,” sources reported. Ghomeshi finally became bored and posted the first of many CBC critical tweets about the events that night: “Crashed better parties during TIFF, take that #CBC” before passing out in a chair at the back of the room drunk on a combination of hair gel and his own hubris.

CBC Head of Security Nate Grendal confirmed that during a lengthy speech by Rex Murphy, Ghomeshi awoke and began chanting, “Moxie Früvous rocks!” while waving a cigarette lighter. “It was at this point I decided that Ghomeshi had gone too far,” Grendal said, “and I escorted him from the room.”

It's very deftly written, much like The Onion, but without the moronic policy they recently put into place of restricting page views to non-U.S. readers, dumping you off to a pay subscription offer once you reach your limit. So I don't link to them now -- if they have something worth reading, I'll just steal the entire article, rather than a paragraph or two with a link to the original. Dumb, dumb move by people who don't seem to get how the Internet works.
