in 2001 it was revealed that those indiustrious and intrepid wannabee james bonds at the canadian security intelligence service had spied on the rhinos for 13 years. no shit - look:

OTTAWA --- What do the Housewives Consumers' Association, the Rhino party and the Raging Grannies have in common? All have come under the scrutiny of Canada's intelligence
agencies.

The RCMP Security Service spent much of the last century monitoring suspected left-wing and communist sympathizers. Many of those targets were legitimate community organizations,
lobby groups or national associations. Others were individuals who advocated views which, while peaceful, conflicted with government policies of the day.

Here's a look at just some of the groups that have attracted the attention of Canada's spymasters:

The Rhinos promised to repeal the law of gravity and vowed to make bubble gum Canada's new currency. Rhino official Charlie McKenzie proposed policies for the federal government such as the guaranteed annual orgasm.  The party's tongue-in-cheek proposals -- and the fact some Rhinos associated with Quebec separatists and Communists -- prompted the RCMP to spy on the court jesters of Canadian politics from 1971 to 1984. Among the declassified reports on the Rhinos is a 1979 memo, marked secret, detailing how the party made fun of the Mounties.

is that some whack shit, or what?

what's most extraordinary about this is the idea that communists managed to infiltrate the the old rhino party. our vast political experience tells us that communists have no sense of humour, so how did the old rhinos manage to not find them out? never mind. we know the answer but will bite our big rhino tongues and refrain from mocking... for the moment.

anyway... to all our friends in csis who have great difficulty understanding the difference between satire and terrorism, consider this an invitation to get in on the ground floor this time 'round.

if we are going to succeed in bringin' on the inevitable rhinolution, we're going to need talented, fearless people. no, no, we're not talking about bearded bombers in black. we need:

artists, writers, philosophers, comics, film people, actors, webmaters, perverts, drunks, lunatics, funarchists, musicians, accountants, lawyers, dentists, strippers (lots of them, please!), carpenters, mechanics etc. etc. all of you. we need all of you!

and we need you RIGHT NOW!

FIRE US AN EMAIL ASAP, SVP  and we can all play a big, long-running game of "spot the csis agent."

weee!
