The Mutant Reviewers From Canada
      Manifesto


      Greetings loyal Mutant fans!

      As you may have noticed, it's a special day here at the MRFC. Due to ongoing conflicts between myself, Sean "The PoolMan" Poole, and Justin "Yankee Buns" Olivetti, a tense meeting last week led to the disposal of the Mutant's former head man. Seems he had a problem with the CanCon laws of Canada, and decided he would no longer be able to perform his functions as Head Mutant.

      For those who are not familiar with the concept of CanCon (Canadian Content), it's actually written into Federal Law here in the Great White North that all broadcasts must contain at least 35% content provided by a person of Canadian birth. While Toni and I were doing our share to keep the interest level in Canadian writing high, Justin felt that seeing as the Internet was outside international borders, blah blah, unregulated, blah blah, Americans are better than everyone else, blah blah blah, that he was going to put his foot down and take us silly Canucks to school. And that's where it got ugly.

      The ensuing battle lasted all of 2 hours. Justin had his army of Mutants (you always think he's kidding about that, don't you?), and I my fanatical army of kickboxers. The battle was relatively even, with neither side gaining the upper hand until Toni got the bright idea to play "Kung Fu Fighting" on the office loudspeakers. While my fighters were unnaffected, it seems the Mutants have a soft spot for Tom Jones, and stopped fighting to scream like teenaged girls, remove their undies, and find a whithered lounge lizard to fling them at! Of course, this left them all open to have their necks snapped a la Ahnuld, complete with witty repartee. (To get the effect, say the following in that cool Schwarzie accent: "Get crackin'.", "Don't lose your head.", or "I am now breaking your neck.") So. Here we are. And what a place to be! Be excited, loyal Mutant readers! The MRFC is bringing all kinds of changes to your favourite movie site, and you'll love them all! Contests! Prizes! Dancing mooses! Non-stop Stanley Cup playoff action! Online coupons for maple syrup! It will be glorious! Above all, what you already know and love about the Mutants will remain. The reviews will flow like beer, the word "colour" will continue to be mispelled in anything I type up, and the features will just not stop! It's an exciting time for us all!

      So revel in it, my Canuck/Mutant friends. Revel in it. The MRFH has gone to the Great White North. I'm lovin' it, and I'm sure you will too. In the words of the immortal Bob McKenzie:"Beauty, eh?"
