ECMAs and "the arse lickers of Satan"

I was too touched by this not to post it (Perhaps McKay is the one that is a little "touched"):

The Trailer Park Boys — Bubbles, Ricky and Julian — busted out of jail and into the Halifax Metro Centre to host the awards, two of them still wearing their orange jumpsuits.

It is the second year the foul-mouthed TV and film stars, played by Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith, have played host.

The boys kept their language clean and performed a heart-warming rendition of Kitties are So Nice, with Bubbles on guitar.

However, Newfoundland and Labrador comedian Mary Walsh referred to the federal Conservatives as 'the arse-lickers of Satan' before introducing a performer.

The cameras then focused on Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay, who had committed a faux pas earlier in the evening, when he mistakenly referred to Halifax as Toronto.

He drew a chorus of boos and was ribbed about it throughout the night.
