You have to be fucking kidding

The U.S. Government seems bent on controlling more aspects of their citizen's lives...

"The federal government's "no sex without marriage" message isn't just for kids anymore.

Now the government is targeting unmarried adults up to age 29 as part of its abstinence-only programs, which include millions of dollars in federal money that will be available to the states under revised federal grant guidelines for 2007.

The government says the change is a clarification. But critics say it's a clear signal of a more directed policy targeting the sexual behavior of adults."

That is no government's business, now fuck off.

I hate Borat

There, I've said it.

Not that anyone cares.

I watch horrified as his grotesque parade passes through town, to the thunderous applause of the village idiots...

Possible Epic Stupidity

If it does turn out that Comedy Central has removed all Daily Show, Steven Cobert and South Park from YouTube, it may be the dumbest media move this decade.

Funny how it comes less than 2 weeks before their election.

I'm just sayin'.

Revisionist History Strkes Again

The mayor of Montreal, Gerald Tremblay, announced - without consultation - that Montreal's 'Avenue du Parc' would be renamed 'Avenue Robert Bourassa.' The street has a lot of history and hosts some thriving communities, so feeling is rising high on the issue. A web-consulting company - that happens to be located on Avenue du Parc - put up an e-petition. When I first saw the thing they were aiming to collect 1000 'signatures.' It's grown so fast over the past day that they're now aiming for 20000. I keep getting emails from friends with a link to the petition and it seems to be growing by the minute."

I only just heard about this on Saturday. Who the fuck does Tremblay think he is? Bourassa? BooBoo Bourassa? A street named after him (?!), and of course it's one that had an English (sounding) name. Only bunkers should be named after old BooBoo.

There is an online petition here. It can only be signed by Montrealers, so tell any if you know any!

L'avenue de Parc est maintenant avenue de Robert BooBoo ? Jamais!

How stupid does he think Americans are?

Yeah yeah, I know...

Jump!

This is just one (though perhaps the best) of several jaw dropping scenes from the last Battlestar Galactica.

Party Time

Chester and I have birthdays close together, so we had a party last night.



All the local celebs were there, Simone Denny, Shelley Hamilton, Liz Tansey, DJ Robert (from Barrie!) and of course The Creampuff Princess.

Fooding

Chester Wong and Princess, on a one day food tour of Toronto.

No cupcake is safe.

Toronto Zanta

Crazy man, or performance artist? No one is quite sure, but if you live in Toronto you've seen him.

He's good, but no one can match the horror of the Harmonica Lady of Montréal.

75,000-year-old shell beads

Early shell beads from recent and old excavations push back the date for human culture

"There is a heated debate on when did we become culturally modern, that is when did we develop language, symbolic thinking, religion, etc. Personal ornaments, along with art, are unanimously seen as archaeological proof of the acquisition of those abilities."

I don't see that connection but...

Happy Bubbles, but Devoted Bubbles

Here it is Ladies and Gentlemen, the Salvador Dali Alka Seltzer ad.

Only took me 34 years to track the sucker down.

What we still don't know

which is a 3 part series available on Google:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

If this is a real Bentley ad

then their arrogence knows no bounds.

TheirTube

Google buys YouTube.

Beginning of the end of YouTube as we knew it. Corporate control will bring corporate blandness. But, it's what the viewer *really* wants, isn't it?

So just sit back and watch, like a good audience should. Leave the entertaining to the professionals.

Battlestar moves to NBC

Frak.

"The question is:  will NBC be tolerant of the quasi-political themes that BSG seems to take from the most controversial page of world events?"

Quasi? Season 3's opener was a pretty clear inditement of the whole Bush mess, or at least to me it was. So yes, the network might mess with that. I'm more afraid of the "7 of 9 Syndrome", where there will be more ballistic breasts coming at you from every angle.

And that's just the men.
