How not to get ahead in broadcasting

CBC head quits after defecation, bestiality remarks

More detail from the Calgary Sun:

Fournier incorrectly claimed in a magazine article that men in Lebanon are permitted to have sex with animals "as long as they are female. Doing the same thing with male beasts can result in the death penalty."

The erroneous suggestion sparked outrage in Montreal's Lebanese community.

During an interview aired on a popular Radio-Canada television show last Sunday, Fournier sang the praises of a good "poop." He said the pleasure of a bowel movement is longer-lasting and more frequent than sex.
