BOSTON, MAThe nation of Canada announced today that it is officially beginning work on a remake of a very unpopular American horror/drama where an entitled male reality television show character with dangerously high blood pressure suddenly decides he'd like to run for the highest office in his country for no other reason than to amass more personal wealth and status.
The American original, which will air its new season on Friday, has overwhelmingly terrible ratings but has become the kind of show people "hate-watch", having recently been renewed after a rocky six-month run for an astounding four more years.
Despite numerous efforts by citizens to get the show cancelled, its executives have flat-out refused.
The production team responsible for the Canadian remake says their main challenge was casting the main character.
