George Stroumboulopoulos Unable to Spell His Own Name
September 23, 2008 by Kevin Brockman
In unsurprising news, George Stroumboulopoulos has been discovered to not know how to spell his own name. Host of the popular “The Hour” television program on CBC, Snufalupagus has become a household name and Canadian icon in his own right. The revelation that George was unable to spell his own name came on Monday during an interview with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Harper, clearly desperate to appeal to the younger demographic that flocks to Strompalopaloo’s popular show unwittingly made a fool of Strombalomanuts after asking for his email address. Sadly, Stumpalatafuts had set up his email address with the assistance of both his driver’s license and birth certificate and was clearly at a loss for words and unprepared for the seemingly simple request.
Trombonapolloza’s response was nothing short of awkward for everyone involved. “Mr. Harper, you can reach me any time at S-T-R-O-M_P_A-er-L-A-L-A-um-G-H-U-S-S? at cbc.ca….No wait, there is a P in there somewhere.” From there, Strumsalotofnuts became incredibly agitated and the show quickly cut to commercial. What viewers at home didn’t see, was a temper tantrum that saw chairs flung across the studio, insults hurled towards the heavens and a military style takedown of George, executed by Harper’s personal bodyguards.
Calls today into CBC studios have yet to reach Strubaloopoolus and his rep has issued the following statement. “We ask that all fans respect Jorge Strumabumavus during this deeply personal time and ask you all to consider how confusing his name really is. Do you think you could spell that name day in and day out? If he was ever featured on Wheel of Fortune the contestants wouldn’t even have enough money to buy a vowel.”

Were you in the audience actually witnessing this? George seems a bit too professional for me too actually throw a tantrum in front of his audience…and I have seen him in person many times…
