You Can All Be Lesbians

I have never heard of the CBC show Mr D, that this clip comes from but I don't think it really matters. It's funny because kids have no frame of reference to things from the past.

Usually I say that sarcastically but in this case, it's actually very funny. My son has asked me a few questions just like this when I start talking about how it was like when I was a kid. The other day he wanted to know what WWII was like...

Threatening Links

Netflix’s new offline mode lets you download shows, watch them offline. Yay, Netflix is doing something Amazon Prime has offered for like the last 3 years. It sounds like it's only going to be available on their own shows and movies for right now but I guess it's a start. Now you can go camping and still binge watch the new season of Gilmore Girls. USA! USA! USA!

A Canadian town is threatening drunk drivers with Nickelback torture. The most hilarious part about this story is that the Facebook post from the sheriff's department showed a Nickelback tape, not a CD but a freakin cassette tape. There's something incredibly Canadian about that.

We Asked 8,500 Internet Commenters Why They Do What They Do. This looks about right, I mean it's incredibly unscientific to just poll your own commenters but it's a lot more than anyone else is doing so I'll let it stand. On occasion I'll comment on an article, usually its when I think I have something to add to the conversation, which of course is completely delusional. No one cares what anybody else thinks, no one.

Jubilee Will Lead a New Team of Teen Mutants in the New Generation X Comic. About a year ago there were a ton of doom and gloom rumors that Marvel was tanking all their X-Men comics because Fox owns the movie rights and Disney is crazy about stuff like that. Fast forward 12 months and it looks like Marvel is making a big push to re-establish all the X-Men franchise, which is nice. I'm really interested in this new Gen-X book, I love me some Jubilee and she's been handled pretty poorly the last 5-10 years or so. It would be nice to see her become a more prominent member of the group.

I'm Running for Parliament!

Wyatt Scott is running for parliament as an independent candidate for Mission Matsqui Fraser Canyon. I have zero idea what any of that means but what I do know is that his first youtube ad is amazing. He's riding on the back of a Canadian goose, he's slaying dragons, fighting robots. Forget Parliament, this guy should be Khaleesi. All hail Wyatt Scott!

Ron Burgundy Isn't The Curling Announcer Canada Wants But He Is The One It Needs

Not content with increasing sales of Dodge Durangos something like 56% Ron Burgundy has taken his act on the road. First stop Curling Announcing at Tim Horton's Roar of the Rings. I believe he's headed to ESPN and SportsCenter later this week.

Rhyme O'Clock by Wordbuglar

Hey kids, Wordbuglar has a new video/single out with called Rhyme O'clock. It's got it all, a real dj spinning vinyl, comic books, ed-209 from RoboCop a couple verses by my new favorite rapper More or Les. It's like everything cool from hip hop in the late '90s and early '00s went to Toronto and just kinda hung out there for a while. There must be something in the Molson Ice.
