Corner Gas

The Canadian comedy series, "Corner Gas", is airing it's final episode next Monday, April 13th after a very successful six-year run. How successful has it been? The producers managed to get Kiefer Sutherland, son of Canadian acting icon Donald Sutherland, and star of the drama series "24", to do a cameo on the show...



But the show had even bigger fish to fry. The current Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, took the opportunity to soften his "starchy" image...



We Canadians take our comedy very seriously. Yesterday, the Premier of Saskatchewan, where the show is filmed, proclaimed April 13th "Corner Gas Day". The show, set in the fictional town of Dog River, was shot in Regina and the village of Rouleau, 70 kilometres southwest of the city.

The producers had a "Pump out a poster" contest for a chance to win some neat stuff, including a signed script from the show, by designing a commemorative poster. I submitted an entry, but unfortunately, I guess they didn't like the subject matter. Here's my submission (click to enlarge):
