I'm starting to understand why people hate Clear Channel...I have heard about the protests, the musical festival anti-Clear Channel booth and Clear Channel telling them to shut it down, etc. but didn't know too much about them. Here I get my weekly Clear Channel concert announcements emails...

Of course, trying to really fight them might be like E. Vedder's crusade against Ticketmaster. Clear Channel combined with Ticketmaster = how much ripping off of artists I wonder...

Clear Channel and Ticketmaster are an evil combination, but it seems that that is one monopoly that has yet to be truly investigated.

As for Canada, I think South Park had it right. I can also remember a cheesy movie that targeted Canada...Canadian Bacon I think it was with John Candy.
