Let it be known!

Jay Holben, director of the upcoming documentary Camgirls is an uncool American who had never heard of Degrassi until I schooled him so hard he logged off!!!

Seriously, I’m in shock that someone in the world doesn’t know what Degrassi is, either the Next Generation or old school Degrassi Jr. High or High OR, if you’re really old like me, you may even remember The Kids of Degrassi Street. It’s just this huge thing! I had no idea there were people in the world who didn’t grow up with it and haven’t experienced it yet.

It’s only the best show in the whole wide world - what is wrong with him????? How could someone be so sheltered???? It was on PBS in the US and it was like, globally critically acclaimed and won awards and stuff!

It’s mind-blowing, it truly is.

Check this out!

This is the beginning of an episode of the gameshow “Just Like Mom”, which I used to watch with my great grama when I was really young. Apparently it’s Canadian, which I didn’t know and what the clip doesn’t show is that (if I recall correctly) the kids had to guess at how to make something, like chocolate chip cookies, and they’d put like, ketchup and flour and totally the wrong ingredients in and the moms would have to eat it!

Anyway, I thought I’d pass it along because it’s awesome. :D
