Escapist News Network: New Dante's Inferno Marketing Tactic

[dex-dex]

Just for reference, again, the show that inspired this series (in spirit and format) is a Canadian show called "This Hour Has 22 Minutes"
We love The Onion, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, but those weren't the really inspiration. Sure there's influence there, I'm not going to lie, but saying we "ripped off" a format is a little harsh, considering it's not new.
If anything, ENN is more like SNL's Weekend Update.
Just saying.

Sadly, I tried looking for some clips of "22 Minutes" on YouTube to show you, but only the skits gets posted, none of the actual newsdesk bits are there. But trust me!

Oh Graham i trust ya! but i like it better when Rick Mercer was on the show

The Ending always cracks me up.

QFT! I liked this one's ending a lot! So awkward, so funny. Paul's voice seems to be spot on for that line.
