Somebody Gonna' Get a Hurt Real Bad!

   Sometimes you just need a laugh, know what I mean? If you're looking for a real side-splitter, you're looking for stand-up comedian Russell Peters' routine on the approach taken by different cultures to the use of corporal punishment as part of child-rearing. Serious stuff? Peters uses his mastery of racially diverse accents and mannerisms to serve up a hilarious look at the issue. Peters is an Indian-Canadian comic who has been nominated for 4 Gemini Awards, been featured on the Comedy Festivals in Montreal and Winnipeg, and toured extensively through North America, Asia and South Africa. He's making a name for himself as a comic who's not afraid to take on stereotyping and bigotry. The way that he does it allows the audience to laugh along with him, and maybe even to rethink a former belief or two. Take a look at this and see what you think.
