Sorensen called on Strombo bitterness
Dear Editor:
In the January 23 issue of the Interrobang, a letter to the Editor from Allan Sorensen was published about George Stroumboulopoulos' appearance at Fanshawe.
Sorensen asked how much Strombo was paid to appear. Well, that's a valid question, something I suppose a student should be interested in knowing.
However, before he asked that, Sorensen inquired, "Who of you would be dumb enough to pay money to hear George Stroumboulopoulos?"
Well, I would, for one. Obligations prevented me from doing so, but I certainly would have paid the reasonable price of $12.
I'm not sure why Sorensen has such strong negative feelings towards Strombo. I always thought George was someone that people either liked or were indifferent towards. Maybe George has a controversial side I am not aware of, like maybe he once burned down an orphanage or slapped a puppy. In fact, eyewitness reports indicate he was quite cordial the entire evening, going above and beyond the call of duty, even staying for a lengthy time afterwards to speak with students and alumni.
So that still leaves me perplexed. Maybe Sorensen is a big fan of Alan Thicke or Mike Bullard, and is bitter about George usurping them to claim the title as the top Canadian talk show host. Or maybe Sorensen is just someone who can't understand it when someone disagrees with him, and brands anyone as dumb if their opinion doesn't fall in line with his.
