Rob Lowe Winnipeg “Hellhole” Tweet Angers Canadians

Rob Lowe is staying in Winnipeg right now making a made-for-TV movie. The other night he’s off work, watching the 4th quarter of the NBA championship finals when suddenly, the TV station interrupts the broadcast for local election results… Ugg.

I think that would drive anyone over the edge but Twitter-types immediately starting in with the hateraid, trying to read more into Lowe’ comment.

As it turns out, Lowe wasn’t even watching Canadian TV, because there were no municipal elections going on, so he may have been watching a U.S. station in North Dakota… To be celebrity is to error…
