Bernie Ecclestone SUCKS, dammit

The Canadian Grand Prix has been dropped from the F1 calendar because they won't allow cigarette adverts. This is really, really, REALLY dumb. In fact, almost litigiously dumb, since this means that Formula One Management is promoting cigarettes in about as strong a way as they can manage.
