Shatner released an album, The Transformed Man, in 1968. Intending the album to be taken seriously, it is now held up as one of the campiest recordings of all

I've known for five days.

We in Canada have known for five days. What took Slashdot so long?

Go CBC new website

We love Bill, especially ex-pate Montrealers.

Well, if I had to guess, it goes something like this...

Day 1 am: CBC announces Shatner's new album.

Day 1 pm: Google news finally picks up the piece and posts it, incorrectly, under the middle earth section of their news scans.

Day 1 late pm: CBC editors, always on the lookout for such failures by their "neighbors to the south" contact google and get it corrected.

Day 2: /.'er reads the CBC news article in a google news aggregator and suffers brain lock due to the impossibility of wanting to acknowledge such an atrocity.

Day 5: After multiple reboots and confirmation that it is true, said /.'er posts the info to the /. community where it spreads brain freezes akin to a minor worm.For some reason a glaze passes over people's faces when you say "Canada". Maybe we should invade South Dakota or something.

Though if you didn't read the /. piece, I recommend it. How they link it is interesting.

PS... Just in case you think I have nothing good to say about Mr. Shatner, I do have my own thoughts on Kirk v Picard.
