BREAKING. Fox News North quotes Margaret Atwood: "Libaries (sic) cause cancer"


Well, not the real Sun News Network. But 22 Minutes' Geri Hall does a bang-on impression of a Krista Erickson Fox News North type host 'quizzing' Margaret Atwood. It goes something like this:
Host: "Don't libaries (sic) cause cancer"? 
Atwood: "Of course not". 
Host "Oh, I didn't realize you were a medical doctor? Are you a medical doctor"? 
Atwood: "No, I'm not but... "
Host (interrupting) "So, you can't deny that libaries (sic) cause cancer"? 
Atwood (correcting): "L I B R A R I E S cause cancer". 
Host: "There you have it. Leading author Margaret Atwood says that libaries (sic) cause cancer".
Reminds me of a tweet from earlier tonight:


UPDATE: Now we've gone into the hyperspace of Sun News North's hyperventilation and pearl clutching. This gets funnier and funnier with each day.

Hola, quizás os interese saber que tenemos una colección que incluye el relato 'Death by Landscape' de Margaret Atwood en versión original conjuntamente con el relato 'The Progress of Love' de Alice Munro.

El formato de esta colección es innovador porque permite leer directamente la obra en inglés sin necesidad de usar el diccionario al integrarse un glosario en cada página.

Tenéis más info de este relato y de la colección Read&Listen en http://bit.ly/nkaASi
