“Bambi Demands Justice for Bears”. “Bare Skin Not Bearskin”. Oh, my aching punny bone. Heh, bone.
There’s plenty to ridicule about PeTA — like renaming fish “sea kittens”, f’rinstance — but they do have a knack for hiring the occasional attractive spokesmodel (like hot Survivors Ethan “Swoon-Thud” Zohn and Jenna Morasca) and, now, Battlestar Galactica‘s Jamie [...]
Today’s Scrabble™ Word-of-the-Day:
7 Points (click image to visit Hasbro adult games, full-screen capture here)
Because if you have a subway system — whole sections of which are out of service for hours (or days) every time a mouse farts on the track or a flake of snow falls (in January) — and a bus/streetcar system — whole routes having published schedules bearing no resemblance whatsoever to actual bus/streetcar arrival [...]

Oh, the howls of derision which accompanied the release of the staggeringly-awful promotional video for Microsoft’s Songsmith software. And yesterday’s New York Times was only half-heartedly defending not just the breathtaking ineptitude of the video and the product itself but, more to the point here, didn’t even bother to defend the nightmarish results of feeding [...]
Look. We asked you once to please respect the environment. And we asked you, again, to please respect the environment.
You don’t want to know what we’ll do if we have to ask you a third time.
Sign Overkill, Manulife Valu-Mart, Toronto (23 January 2009)
Icing on the cake, it was, to return home from the grocery store this evening and receive a “personalized” letter from Rogers, my cell/cable/net provider, informing me:
As outlined on the reverse of this letter, as of March 1, 2009, we’re adjusting our rates so we can offer you the best possible in-home experience. All other [...]

Helloooo!
If you don’t live in Toronto, or if you do and don’t watch television, or if you’ve visited Toronto but never watched television here, or if you live in or have visited Toronto but go to bed before 11PM, you’ve probably avoided Russell Oliver haranguing you to part with your gold.
Until now. Enjoy.
First in [...]

Guess which building this charming truck is parked outside?
I’m kind of loving the Church of Scientology these days, and the reason is fairly obvious: they’re the thin wedge which reveals the wholesale ridiculousness of believing in anything without evidence. Think I’m kidding? They not only do violence to the scientific definition of evidence, but their [...]

A note about the images… flickr’s being hardass about the images hosted on their servers, which is their right, so in an effort to ease their concerns, I’m moving the ones they consider contentious to another server.
