Jimmy Kimmel

It was only a matter of time before the Vancouver riots moved off the newscasts and into the monologues of late night TV.

Jimmy Kimmel did it up in fine form with this bit on Canada's new tourism ad, which he set up by noting how much he likes "angry Canada."

The riots that followed Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins shocked many in Canada, but not Kimmel.

"It was like watching Katie Couric get drunk and beat Matt Lauer," he said.

The fake tourism ad features all the usual scenes of mayhem in Vancouver and includes the tag line "Canada: Where the people aren't nice anymore."

But we'll leave the hilarious ending as a surprise.

I live in Toronto. I can't imagine the morons that would come out on the streets if the team here ever made it to the Cup Finals.

I am thankful for that. Dumbest sports fans in the country are Maple Leaf fans.

He should be making fun of us. What a stupid display over something as meaningless as a hockey game.

Actually Jimmy this is what happened in Vancouver when they found out they couldn't blame George Bush for anything anymore.

Vancouver is the worst of Canada. The brain drain is a majour factor there. The health care is sub-par; the city is uneducated; their is no majour indutsry; due to Chinese immigrant inflation of property values, the average shack is worth $2Million (making every high school drop-out that inherited their bungalow from their hippie burn-out parents an instant millionaire); the average Vanboober hates education and ambition, which they feel is personified in Toronto and L.A.; they endorsed the killing of 150+ dogs after the Olympics, just as the average citizen there freely kills crows and squirrels wihtout a second thought. God forbid you bring your intellect to Vancouver, between the pot smoke and the underclasses, they will have you running back to civilization in very short order.

That's why it has been called the "most livable city in the world" several times over.
