Here in Vancouver, Canada many years ago one of the morning show hosts dressed in a beaver suit with a big sign asking to buy heroin and went down to the east side and bought heroin live on air, then got handcuffed for buying drugs on air at 7 in the morning.
They went on a "totally planned vacation for a few days" after that incident.
Why did he do this? And why did it have to be done while wearing a beaver suit?
They did it as a comedy bit. It was funny, they did it also to show how ridiculously easy it was to buy drugs in the downtown Eastside when even a guy being so blatant and showy could get heroin in less than 10 mins.
