I know it’s dumb people, because if your grand idea is to buy something that’s both unique and popular and then set about draining it of much of what makes it unique and popular, you are a dumb person. Deadspin works precisely because it doesn’t stick to sports. Don’t get me wrong, it can be […]

Where The Fake Celebrity Ads Come From And How They Work
Perhaps you remember me writing about those damn fake celebrity endorsements that were constantly popping up here and pretty well everywhere else on the internet for a while. If you do, chances are you may be interested in this long article about Ads Inc., one of the companies seemingly responsible for a lot of them. […]
We Apologize Partially And Unreservedly
I love traveling by train. VIA Rail is a bit pricey, but it’s definitely worth it especially if you’re like me and feel so horrible on most bus trips that you just want to turn around and go home. Between the extra room, the ability to buy food and drinks and the customer service which […]
I Don’t Think Affordable Means What You Think It Means
The main point of this is that these assholes got a permit to build one thing and built something completely different, which is garbage. The second big thing here is that the damn city could have fined them even more heavily and didn’t, which could potentially wind up being garbage. But my mind keeps getting […]
This Call Is A Scam
As long as I am of sound mind, I can’t imagine ever falling for one of these computer support scams. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren’t me and still do. There’s sadly not a whole lot that can or is being done to stop any of it, which makes videos like this fairly valuable. Not […]

If you have trouble believing that or for lord knows what reason want to dispute it, […]
Morespace
Poor Myspace hasn’t had a whole lot going for it for quite a while, and now, thanks to what may or may not be an oopsie, it has even less. Myspace, the once mighty social network, has lost every single piece of content uploaded to its site before 2016, including millions of songs, photos and […]
I’d Like To Bump Somebody. In The Head. Repeatedly. With A Shovel
I haven’t been on a plane in something like 25 years, but this shit still infuriates me. Air Canada employee says staff trained to ‘dupe’ passengers at risk of being bumped from oversold flights Seriously, legalized robbery is what that is. Whatever bribes the airlines pay to the world’s governments to get this scam rammed […]
Bell’s Everything Tracking Is Back And Very Slightly Less Creepy
It appears Bell is taking another crack at the tracking every customer’s every move thing that went so well a few years ago. And though the end result still sounds like a whole lot of garbage from a consumer point of view (there’s still nothing in it for customers aside from ads the company thinks […]
Come See The Bankrupt Side Of Sears
If Sears Canada were a person I think that person would be a pedophile, because it sure seems to enjoy screwing little people. First it was the frontline workers who couldn’t have the pensions they spent years earning because the best and the brightest had to be properly compensated for pulling the handle and directing […]
