Woe. Seeing that Max Keeping is about to retire is pretty freaky. Let me explain. I grew up near Ottawa, and he’s been the news anchor for Ottawa’s news for as long as I can remember, and apparently for longer than I’ve been alive. He is *the* news dude on the 6:00 news in Ottawa. …

Cash Lab
I’m such a neurotic weirdo. I can’t believe I’m doing this. I was watching Cash Cab, you know how much I love Cash Cab. At one point, he asked something about a dog with powerful jaws and asked which one it was that was named after Canada’s eastern-most province. The answer was Newfoundlander. Whatever. But …
Finally Some Honesty
I’ve ranted about this local TV vs. the cable companies business in various posts and comments, so I thought I’d share this short, helpful video made by the Writers Guild of Canada that explains the issues in slightly more detail. Like me, it doesn’t take a side, because like me, it realizes that both sides …
Commence Hating Me In 3…2…1…
This is the song I’ve had in my head all morning, and I like sharing. Your welcome.
More Ads That Make Us Think Too Much
It’s been a while since we’ve written one of these. But we thought we’d compiled enough commercials or slogans to do another one. We saw a commercial for something called “Juicy Juice immunity.” Juicy juice? It’s juice. Shouldn’t it be juicy? If not, it wouldn’t be…juice, would it? I know it’s a product for kids, …
The Riddlers

Mozzarella Capow
The story of a chef threatening to shoot a waitress in the forehead if he got one more order for the mozzarella caprese salad reminds me of that episode of Corner Gas where Lacey makes up a sandwich, the Ruby Club, and then everybody wants to order it and then she was all frazzled and …
Local TV Breaks Dave Carroll?
Dave Carroll, why’d you have to go and write the cable song? It makes me sad. Neither party seems right in this saga, why’d you have to throw your voice behind one of ’em? You seem like such a good guy.
Another Fake Kidnapping
I just happened to be watching TV, and another fake kidnapping was served up. I guess this has been going on even longer than I thought. This one happened in 2004, and involved Audrey Seiler, who said she was kidnapped from her apartment and kept in the woods for days, given cold medicine, restrained with …
Brain Crash Cab
Remember back when I said Cash Cab’s contestants are smarter than Chain Reaction’s contestants? Well, I think I may have to take that back. I saw two dumb herds of people on cash cab that I think might fit right in on Chain Reaction. I wish I could find videos of these dorks. To make …
