Netflix announces it has successfully reinvented cable TV

By: C Icart, Staff Writer

Here at Netflix, we’re just like that mediocre show we cancelled after two seasons . . . Insatiable. We have successfully sneaked our way into homes worldwide and cemented ourselves into meme history books by having a euphemism for the nasty named after us. But that’s not enough, we want more. Sure, in 2017 we tweeted that “Love is sharing a password,” but that was in the “before” times. As in before our accountant told us that we would be richer if y’all didn’t share. So now, we hate sharing. The same way we hate renewing shows with queer and trans representation!

Netflix has been able to grow as a company because we are disruptors. In the late ‘90s, we disrupted the movie rental industry by renting movies out ourselves. In the mid-2000s, we disrupted the streaming industry by offering streaming services. Now, in the 2020s we are disrupting both the gaming industry and the book club industry by creating games and starting a book club. Our extensive experience with innovation has allowed us to confirm that innovation is not a linear process. In fact, Netflix has demonstrated that sometimes you can innovate so hard you return to point A. 

Our circular innovation process has allowed us to bring back all the things people hated — I mean loved — about cable television. Soaring prices for a large catalogue of content that viewers are only interested in a fraction of? Check. Ads? Check. Only able to watch content inside of one household? Check. You’re welcome. 

Our first tagline was “See What’s Next.” And we’re so right for that. We will always find new ways to keep you on your toes. And if you don’t like the new policies we announce, we’ll just say they were accidentally leaked. Now, our mission is “to entertain the world” and we won’t stop until every individual device on the planet has its own Netflix account. 

Sure, the haters love to remind us that we were hemorrhaging subscribers last year. But let’s be real: when it comes to the stock market, down is the new up! All we have to do is gaslight y’all into believing accounts were only ever meant for one (1) household, gatekeep content by cancelling shows, and voila! We will have girlbossed our way back to the top — where disrupting, innovating, change-making, visionaries like us belong. So turn off your VPN, log out of your mom’s ex’s barber’s brother’s account, and sign up for your own premium account today! 2023 finna be a Netflix movie.

Burnaby apologizes for historic discrimination against people of Chinese descent

By: Heidi Kwok, Staff Writer On November 15, community members gathered at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown as the City of Burnaby offered a formal apology for its historic discrimination against people of Chinese descent. This included policies that deprived them of employment and business opportunities. The “goals of these actions was exclusion,” Burnaby mayor Mike Hurley said.  “Today, we shine a light on the historic wrongs and systemic racism perpetuated by Burnaby’s municipal government and elected officials between 1892 and 1947, and commit to ensuring that this dark period of our city’s history is never repeated,” he stated. “I’ll say that again, because it’s important — never repeated.” The earliest recorded Chinese settlers arrived in Nuu-chah-nulth territory (known colonially as Nootka Sound) in 1788 from southern China’s...
