I am Canadian.

Am I the last one to know this? Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes will be on Degrassi: The Next Generation for a three-epsiode arc in January. No kidding.

The plotline follows the Degrassi cast as Smith, playing himself, films a fictional sequel to the cult-hit Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. For the 'sequel' titled Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, eh, director Kevin Smith has chosen Degrassi as the perfect Canadian high school for the shoot. In the Degrassi/ J&SB storyline, Jay and Silent Bob (played by Mewes and Smith) come to Canada to get a high-school diploma since no high-school in the USA will take them. A concept of which Smith has said, "The plot of the movie within the show is so funny, it almost makes me want to shoot the flick for real."

...Wow. The sheer cleverness of that meta is making me a very, very happy cat right now.

Actually it seems *I'm* the last to know.

I didn't even know that Jason Mewes had come out of hiding. Remember when everyone thought he might be dead? I still thought that.

I Am!

The Last to know too.

Note to self: Bittorrent could still be your friend.
