Rob Lowe's Ironic Tweet For Parks And Recreation Fans (spoler alert for Parks and Rec Season Finale)

Parks and Recreation star, Rob Lowe, plays a character who lives in a fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana, and in the season finale helped main character Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) win a city councillor seat in a municipal election. Ironically, he wasn't so enthusiastic about municipal elections last night, when he was watching an NBA playoff game in a Winnipeg bar, and the "local station" interrupted the game coverage for a municipal election!

Specifically, after the Oklahoma Thunder-Miami heat game was interrupted in the fourth quarter, Lowe tweeted:

"The local affiliate is interrupting the 4th quarter of the #NBAFinals to show city council election results!!! #TrappedInAHellHole"

In further irony, "the local affiliate" wasn't from Winnipeg, or Manitoba, or even Canada. The television station was from Grand Forks, North Dakota.
