was a David Haselhoff video. What am I doing wrong? Or have you just accidentally exposed your secret love of David Haselhoff?? ;)

The recorder site had:

Bodies of five fallen Canadian soldiers return home from Afghanistan

The first page of search results at canada.com for "Afghanistan" gives this:
