Do you ever wonder if uSave Flooring has a shoplifting problem? With a slogan like “Prices so low, just take it and go!” they’re pretty much asking for one, aren’t they? They do sell a lot of product that wouldn’t be the easiest to sneak off with, which probably helps. But if someone did, would …

May 2023s Best News Bloopers
Is a fear of butterflies a common thing? And on the subject of butterflies, maybe it’s just Carin and I, but does anyone who comes from around KW/Guelphish remember the commercial for I want to say the Butterfly Conservatory with the little kid at the end saying “A butterfly might land on you!”? And if …
Dear Google:
I don’t care how many times you ask me (it’s been three today alone), I am not turning on the fucking vignette ads. No, not even if you predict that my revenue will go up by 20% were I to do so. There is also no need for you to explain to me what they …
Hi! I’m Your Dream Devil!
Does anybody else think those Lotto Max dream coach commercials are super annoying and dumb? Basically, there’s this woman imagining what she could do with her lottery winnings, and this guy appears and tells her that as her dream coach, he wants her to dream bigger!

I was hoping there would be more announcements for shows that the station was broadcasting at the time (especially the locally produced ones), but this 15 minutes worth of commercials and clips from Ontario Report A.K.A. the 11:30 news from CKCO circa 1986 is still kind of a neat watch for nostalgia’s sake. One of …
Diabetes-Inspired Dream Donuts?
Everybody sing. And a 1! And a 2! I just heard about Tim Horton’s dream donuts. I haven’t tried them yet, but I was curious what they’re all about and whether I should. I’m still kind of curious about them, but they remind me of the Creamy Chocolate Chill from days long ago, and the …
Why?
Why is my iPhone suddenly obsessed with getting me to mute notifications, especially ones from apps and conversations I tend to look at more than not? And why does hitting the “not now” button cause nothing to happen? Oh, and when I say obsessed, I’m not joking. The damn thing literally just tried to get …
