when TV talks about the internet: which is the medium? which is the message?

Tonight Devin and I were watching How I Met Your Mother. This is a great show - if you do not watch it - start. Seriously. Now. Or next Monday (at 8:00 or 8:30).

Regardless, one of the main characters is named Robin, and Robin in Canadian. This leads to a number of jokes about Canada. And on this particular episode, there was an on-going joke about Robin having the opportunity to perform a Canadian sex act, with a Canadian celebrity, with a weird collection.

Now, you might be wondering what a Canadian sex act might be, well so were Robin's friends, and so to learn more about said acts, her friends check out www.canadiansexacts.org

How I Met Your Mother
sets up real websites to compliment any fake websites it makes up for the show, which means after the episode, I was able to visit www.canadiansexacts.org, and although it might not be as funny to people who did not watch the show, I found it quite entertaining.

And don't worry, if you want to visit, it is family friendly. Well - okay - maybe not family friendly - but it is very tongue in cheek and contains no nudity or offensive language.
