UPDATE:
RESIGNED – this afternoon
CBC is reporting it on Newsworld, but not explaining in any way, shape, or form just WHY he resigned. He just resigned is all, see?
Canada’s crappy state-run media, which is full of it, and which is in the toilet at the best of times, is now stinking up the joint.
Its chairman, who might best be called toiletman, has taken to discussing the joys of taking a giant crap. Literally. I’m talking poo. Defecating. He did this on the state-run media, among other places. 
Discussed it, I mean, although metaphorically, he and the CBC do it daily. No, several times a day—they’re very irregular.
CBC chairman facing ridicule in Quebec
CBC chairman Guy Fournier recently told a French-language radio station that bowel movements are better than sex. He also infuriated Lebanese Canadians when he claimed that Lebanon permits bestiality.Graeme Hamilton, National Post
Published: Tuesday, September 19, 2006MONTREAL – CBC chairman Guy Fournier has become the target of anger and derision in his home province after falsely claiming that Lebanon permits bestiality and for granting a lengthy interview on the joys of bowel movements.
On Sunday night, Mr. Fournier, appeared on one of Quebec’s most-watched television shows, Tout le monde en parle [Joel notes: that’s a state-run CBC program], ostensibly to apologize for a magazine column he wrote making the unfounded bestiality claims.
In his Sept. 9 weekly column for the magazine 7 Jours, Mr. Fournier included the following nugget: “In Lebanon, the law allows men to have sexual relations with animals as long as they are female! Doing the same thing with male beasts can result in the death penalty.”
The problem was that the information, gleaned from the Internet, was false. Montreal’s Lebanese community was incensed, and a local university instructor of Lebanese descent began steps to file a lawsuit.
[…] The show’s host, Guy A. Lepage, then moved the discussion along, digging up a little-noticed interview Mr. Fournier gave last May to a small French-language radio station in Toronto, during which the CBC/Radio-Canada chairman rhapsodized about defecation for more than 10 minutes.
Mr. Fournier recounted a train trip in the early 1960s during which a friend named Michel said going number two was as pleasurable as having sex.
“From that moment, I started paying closer attention—and I have to tell you, I quickly realized that Michel was entirely right,” Mr. Fournier said.
“And the most extraordinary thing is that, in the end, as you grow older, you continue to go poop once a day if you are in good health, while it is not easy to make love every day. So finally, the pleasure is longer-lasting and more frequent than the other.”
He also advised against distractions while on the toilet. “There are even people who push the heresy to the point of doing Sudoku or crosswords rather than concentrating on the pleasure that they would have doing the thing,” Mr. Fournier told his radio interviewer. “It is just as heretical as if you read the National Post while making love. It is not to be recommended.”
[…]
Once again let me remind readers that state-run media should be banned in this country and as a nod to freedom and democracy, it should be enshrined in our Constitution as such.
Flush the CBC down the CBC’er.
