Well, it looks like this is not such an uncommon problem afterall. I started digging yesterday with a simple google search. I got way more results then I expected to find and most of them say that they didn’t do anything to cause this to happen. I also learned how to replace the screen myself and save a bunch of $$$. I called 1-888-832-4719, pressed 1 and ended up talking to Canon’s parts department. I ordered the LCD (SKU CK9-1137-000) for $47.72 (Canadian dollars) plus shipping. Just waiting on that now before I get started with the dismantling.
Here’s a bunch of pictures of my broken LCD.
Here’s a few links to some of the other sites I have found regarding this issue:

Webshots Digital Camera Forum – SD200 and SD300 Cracked LCD

DCResource.com – LCD Problems with SD500 (good replacement instructions here!)

Enjoy! I didn’t, but that’s besides the point.
