"I’ll Have a Pound of Ground Beef and a Dance Number Please"



One might think that being in a big city you’d expect a group of Occupy Vancouver members to dash into a corporate owned store and loot manufactured goods in the name of the people. Since that’s what a limited number of people thought the recent riots were for, not many are clever enough to repeat such a failure.

But in North Vancouver, an entirely different flash mob made it’s presence known. One can’t help but watch the Middle Eastern styled show unfold.

Russell Peters stars in Breakaway, a hockey comedy with an Indian flair. But maybe he’ll lend his star power to a Thrifty Foods produced Bollywood musical about a male grocery clerk who falls in love with a female customer above his station. Perhaps they’ll call it “Clean Up In Aisle Five.”

I’d pay admission price to see it.
