Self promotion[edit]

This article seems to be nothing more than shameless self promotion, and seems to be written either by Pratt or a close friend, ie. Don Taylor. Take this line, for example, "Pratt is single and has a reputation as a ladies man around the Vancouver nightlife." If you ever listen to or watch Pratt and Taylor it seems that Don is simply saying this as a joke rather than with any seriousness and thus this "reputation" is more rumor or a running joke than fact. Then you have this line "the ever-popular Don Taylor." According to whom or what? Pratt may be knowledgeable about sports but when it comes to real world issues such as politics, he is out of his element. Yet, Pratt, and often Taylor, will rant about deep topics in the most shallow of manners as if on a high horse, displaying their complete ignorance about that which they are discussing. Further, Pratt and Taylor regularly objectify women on their show, talking about women with whom they would like to have sex and demeaning women whom they find unattractive. Favorite women they attack are Yoko Ono and Hillary Clinton.

Never heard drive-time sports talk radio before, have you? They don't do anything other shows don't. I took out the unreferenced stuff. 207.81.30.213 (talk) 01:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pratt the Plagarist[edit]

What, nothing about being fired from his position as a Vancouver Province columnist for plagarism? Seems noteworthy and appropriate to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.110.23.231 (talk) 17:20, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
