Back away from your Daddy's nipple, Ben.

The son of the oh so famous ex-leader who implemented such memorable things as the 7% tax, has emerged as one of Canada's biggest embarrassment. Who thought it was a good idea to give this guy a mic on the red carpet?

Of course, like I do each year, my mom and I plunk ourselves down on the sofa and watch the Academy Awards start to finish. It starts with some random fashion twirls, some 20 second interviews with celebrities who look anxious to not be talking to an interviewer and the screaming fans who are so excited to see their fave celebs. And then there is the interviewer.

CTV gave the role to Ben Mulroney this year to interview the stars as they paraded into the Kodak Theatre. Don't you think another Canadian might have been better suited for the job? He stood there looking like a prize idiot while telling people how much the people of Canada loved him. He even so bold to ask actor Jake Gyllenhaal when he was coming back to Calgary as we obviously missed him. I didn't even know he was here the first time.

What bothers me more than anything is the fact that this kid can use his last name as a cachet to get his foot in places. Sure, being the son of an ex-PM probably has its ups and down's, but when your daddy has a hold on a lot of big name companies, wouldn't it just be easier to tag along for the ride? I think once you get a certain age, it's time to let go of your Daddys nipple and begin feeding on your own. But I don't see Ben as taking rein on any sort of independence any time soon.

For the love of God Ben, go find a cure for cancer or become a police officer or a tribe leader- stay off our tv's. Your fake tan and sly smile is way too much for me to take.
