Following an outcry from the ignorant masses, the Canadian federal government has backed down from the idea that the national anthem should be altered in order to make the line “in all thy sons command” gender neutral. The original wording of the anthem contained an easy alternative: “thou dost in us command” which sounds better anyway, but to the public at large it’s apparently preferable to maintain entrenched sexism from a time in which Canadian women weren’t allowed to vote. It’s tradition, you see.
The idea of changing the even more blatantly unnecessary and woefully prejudiced line “God keep our land glorious and free!” wasn’t tabled, despite its inclusion lacking even the “tradition” excuse, having only been added in 1968.
As is tradition right before the Oscars, the worst films of 2009 have been dishonoured at the annual Razzie Awards. The big winner/loser this year was, most deservedly, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which was awarded worst screenplay, worst director, and yes, worst picture of 2009.
My hatred for Sandra Bullock has weakened slightly due to these awards, she actually showed up to accept her Razzie, she won worst actress for her role in All About Steve. You can see the video above. Other dishonourees included The Jonas Brothers as worst actor(s) for their performance in Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience, Billy Ray Cyrus as worst supporting actor for Hannah Montana: The Movie, and Sienna Miller with worst supporting actress for her work in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
This year, The Razzies celebrated their 30th anniversary by naming some of the worst in film for the decade just past. Battlefield Earth was named worst picture of the decade, Eddie Murphy was awarded worst actor of the decade for more roles than I can list, and Paris Hilton won worst actress of the decade for performances like her turn as “the hottie” in The Hottie & The Nottie.
