Blame Canada

During Lost tonight (and while we're on the subject of Lost, here's a question for you: is Locke's dad the "real" Sawyer?), ABC showed a commercial for the latest reality show that I'm completely ignoring, American Inventor. "One hit show has captured America's heart," voice-over guy says as we watch various people demonstrating their assorted new inventions. "I absolutely love it," continues some other guy that I don't know from Adam. Maybe he's on the show. Maybe he's just talking about Malt-o-Meal, which is tasty and deserving of love. Who knows? Then voice-over guy is back. "It's almost impossible to stop watching!" This last is a quote, which I know because they displayed it onscreen as voice-over guy was saying it. They have to speak them out loud when they show them, you know, because we're too lazy to be bothered with actually reading them. Anyway, this quote is attributed to the Toronto Globe and Mail.

Does anyone else find it rather amusing that as proof that this show has "captured America's heart," ABC offers us a glowing quote from a Canadian newspaper?
