Dec. 19, 2015: Star Wars condoms, #CannabisCarols and dangerous drones

Ashley Botting, Aisha Alfa and Dave Merheje serve up a festive cup of "News nog" with this week's news quiz.

Star Wars is the only thing more commercial than Christmas. We play a game called "Can You Buy It?" where Gavin asks the panel to spot the made-up Star Wars product. A Yoda yoga mat, anyone? 

Our contestants are inspired by the possibility of marijuana being legalized in Canada. They take a Christmas carol and make it "high" with cannabis carols, like "Mary Jane's Boy Child" and "All I Want For Christmas Is Chips." 

And drones are a expected to be a popular gift this season — we quiz our comedians on the do's and dront's of flying them.

Why?

Because News.
