Leader of the Free World

Thanks Stephen Harper

Thanks again Stephen Harper.

With his surprise income trust announcement(flip-flop)last night Canadian investors like you and I lost an estimated 25 Billion dollars today.

Let's not forget that he promised during the election that he promised that he wouldn't tax income trusts.

His party is hoping that by the next election you and I will have for got all about this.

What campaign promises is he going to break next?

Harper did manage to give corporations a tax cut.

When do we get to vote again!

Dove and Sony Bravia Commercials

Here are a couple of video's that I stumbled across recently. The first is from Dove. About two years ago Dove started using "normal" women in their commercials to demonstrate that not everyone looks like a supermodel. Here is the newest commercial.

The closing line says it all. No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted.

On a lighter note there is Sony Bravia televisions. I saw the first commercial a few months ago and thought I would share it. The producer took 250,000 multi-coloured superballs and dropped them down a San Francisco street. The results are amazing. Check it out.

Now they had to top it. The latest commercial was a huge undertaking requiring tonnes of paint and hundreds of crew members to pull it off. Before you watch keep in mind that they did not use any computer graphics to make the commercial.

In case you were worried the paint was made mostly of water and completely non-toxic. It was so safe that you could have drunk it. The clean up took five days with sixty people working on it.

Death Clock

I have seen this before but what a better night than tonight to share it with everyone. I did well, I should be around until August 30th, 2069, that gives me about 1,982,000,000 seconds left. By then I'll by 97 and spending another winter in Canada will not be worth it. Check your date and let me know how you make out.

Thanks Riley

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Here is another newer show that I'm hooked on. Mark got me interested in it over the summer. Here in Ottawa its on Showcase. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia revolves around four friends who run a bar in the City of Brotherly Love and have to overcome their relentless self-involvement to make their friendship and business work." according to TV.com. It so much more than that, the show is completely politically incorrect and hilarious.
Here are a few random clips from the episode "Dennis and Dee go on welfare". The two siblings end up quitting there jobs and after all kinds of problems end up as "crack addicts"




Finally here is a quick recap of season 1. Season 2 see's the return of Danny DeVito to television and he's a great addition to the cast.

Office Space The Movie

I don't think a lot of people really ever saw Office Space, it came out in 1999 (omg seven years ago already), and grossed about $10 million. It is a warped show with lots of laughs. I think you would call it a cult movie now. It's done fairly well on DVD. If you've seen it here is a funny little clip from youtube.


If your interested here is the original movie trailer. Looks a bit dated already.
