Northern Peaks: Canada's Porn Channel

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission has granted Alberta-based Real Productions approval for a digital pornography channel. It's to be called Northern Peaks.

Why does Canada crave homegrown porn? The broadcast regulations require only 15 percent Canadian content, but Real Productions' owner voluntarily promised 50 percent. How will anyone be able to tell? Will the guys keep their tuques on? Will the women say things like, "I don't have any money, but I bet I can think of another way to pay for this Pizza Pizza, eh?"

Apparently, Canadians are weary of nude Americans. Real Productions President Shaun Donnelly said in a Reuters article, "I think as Canadians there is a bit of a tiredness in seeing all American stuff. There is always that thrill for something that is local and you get the sense that these are people you can meet at the supermarket."

Really? I've lived in the land of American porn my whole life, and I've never once imagined I could meet our porn stars at the supermarket. They don't look local. They don't even look terrestrial.

As Real Productions' VP for marketing, Ashley Corsiatto, told the Herald, "I don't know about you, but I'm tired of seeing the Silicon Valley girls constantly." Well, it may be time to develop a more wholesome hobby.

"Different people like different things. You can't keep serving the same thing over and over and expect them to swallow it."
