The following was published Wednesday Sept. 15 in the Globe and Mail:
Another gnuisance on the fringe
Brian (Godzilla) Salmi has started a political party to cash in
on voter disgust with politics - the Gnu Democratic Rhino Reform
party. There are only two things worth knowing about the party:
the "G" in "Gnu" is pronounced, and it's out to replace the
Rhinoceros Party as the voice of political spoofery in Canada.
The Gnus will field 14 candidates in the Vancouver area in the
coming election. In the one after that, Mr. Salmi hopes to have
organized "from Gnufoundland to the Gnukon."
The Gnus formed last month after splitting from the Rhinos over
a dispute involving a stripper and a professional dominatrix, he
says.
Mr. Salmi will be easy to spot at all-candidate forums. He dresses
in a green Godzilla suit. He intended the outfit as an anti-nuclear
warning, but his costume is so tattered and stupid-looking that most
people mistake it for Kermit the Frog.
"I don't get no respect."
