I saw the episode last night. I too was wondering what Jay's reaction to it might be. Too funny. And was the Canadian strike supposted to be a play on the writers strike? The episode made me think of Harlan Ellison's view of the Writers Strike Settlement.

The language is rather strong but as we are talking about South Park I think it's ok to post the link.
