Line 106:
* The city of [http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Kelowna&g=Kelowna&ie=UTF8&z=10&iwloc=addr Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada] was apparently bribed to do this; EB Games (since bought out by GameStop; those that are still EB Games simply didn't feel like changing the signs) are prohibited from buying used games in city limits, because the pawn shops "complained" that the chain stores took away their business.
* Lampshaded by Tony Kornheiser on ESPN's ''[[Pardon the Interruption]]''. After the standard half hour, he and Mike Wilbon "toss it up to ''[[Sports Center]]''," but briefly interrupt (no pun intended) the latter show with an extra segment, the "Big Finish," During which they truly close out their show. This extra segment isn't aired in Canada, so at [[Credits Gag|the end of every show]], Kornheiser waves a Canadian flag and says "Goodnight, Canada."
* Conversely, the ''[[Second City Television]]'' segment with "Bob and Doug MacKenzie" was originally created to occupy a sliver of time which was available on the Canadian broadcast (which had fewer ads) but not the US version.
