Very Canadian Security Question
I bought a couple items from the CBC Shop today. Since this was my first time shopping there, I needed to create an account before I could proceed to the checkout page. Like most online e-commerce sites, as well as a username and password, it ask for a supplimentary security question. These are the choices they provided. I guess they know their audience.
Security Questions
What is your mother's maiden name?
What is the name of your pet?
What is your favourite hockey team?
I wonder how many people who chose the last question didn't buy some Don Cherry-related DVD?
Comments
What did you buy? Not that the security question issue isn't meaty.

I bought "Breaking Point: Canada/Quebec - The 1995 Referendum DVD" to accompany my Trudeau DVD. I also picked up a retro t-shirt.

That's a terrible security question .... of the people who choose it, any guess as to which percentage would be covered by the Maple Leaves, Canucks, Flames, Canadians, Oilers or Senators? Having a 1/6 shot at guessing isn't good times. And you cuold narrow it down even more if you had an idea of where the person was geographically, which you could glean from their IP address ...

Shawn,
That's why I answered "The Nordiques".
