Default Chris Rock: Kill The Messenger

So I keep hearing about his new stand up that is going to be showed on HBO, which is only in the states.

Is there any channel in Canada (PPV, etc) that will be showing it?

Or is this something I should expect to see in a few weeks up here?

HBO Canada set to air
By THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - It's not HBO, it's HBO Canada.

A new channel set to deliver a full slate of HBO series, films, comedies and live events is headed north of the border. Beginning Oct. 30, HBO Canada will be available at no extra charge to people who subscribe to The Movie Network or Movie Central.

The channel is being jointly launched by Astral Media, which runs The Movie Network, and Corus Entertainment, which runs Movie Central.

Both networks already run a large slate of HBO programs, such as "Entourage," "True Blood" and "Flight of the Conchords."

But Astral president John Riley says the new channel will broadcast comedy series, live specials, sporting events and behind-the-scenes programs previously unseen in Canada.

They include the shows "Real Time with Bill Maher," "Def Comedy Jam" and "Chris Rock: Kill the Messenger."

HBO Canada will also show Canadian films and series, including "Durham County" and "Terminal City," which also air on The Movie Network and Movie Central

It will probably run on HBO Canada at least as a re-run. I won't be watching for it.

Chris Rock is a racist who I just can't handle anymore. I remember him yelling at Lennox Lewis (on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher)about how Lennox needs to support the black community and become more of a role model. Then he went on about how no black student should have to pay for college in the USA because colleges exploit black athletes to make money for the college. He went on and on until Bill Maher get angry and both he and Lennox were yelling at Rock. They went to commercial and removed Rock from the show. I remember how Lennox kept saying he was born in Canada and raised in England and it is different there in terms of blacks and whites. He said black and white racism in the US will never change because of guys like Chris Rock. It was a pretty awesome show and I have never liked Rock since. To see Lennox Lewis put Chris Rock in his place. The best part is Rock is such a mental midget he wasn't smart enough to argue or put together any sort of comebacks for the mental heavyweight Lennox Lewis.
