Hockey Night in Canada lineup demonstrates commitment to diversity (satire)

A very funny way to make a serious point:

Moore said the revamped HNIC will appeal to a new demographic, such as white men with brown hair and white men with darker brown hair.

“I think one of the beauties of Hockey Night in Canada is that is does get a broader audience, and we want to broaden that even more,” said Moore.

“This is not the same country it was 25 to 30 years ago,” Moore added, standing next to a group who represented a wide range of tie and suit fabric options.

A reporter — Simon Houpt of the Globe and Mail — did manage to ask, in the most deadpan way possible, about the lack of diversity.

“I love how diverse a panel we see up there on stage right now, are you intending to hire even more women to be on stage any time?” asked Houpt.

Moore seemed caught off guard and replied that more hiring announcements are in the works and the “full complement” would be in place by April. These hires would presumably “complement” the “dream team” trotted out on stage today.

Thumbs up for maintaining the status quo!
