Just Wait Until He Has To Come Up With Bail Money

Terminally cheap? Terminally foolish? Terminally trapped in a life of crime? I’m not sure, but when you’re resorting to using a stolen credit card to pay the $1 of the $16 fingerprinting fee you don’t happen to have on you to the Sheriff’s records department, you’ve got to be at least one, if not all …

Canada’s Wireless Market Is Pretty Awful, And I’m Not Sure How Much The New Rules Will Help

As you surely know if you stop around here with any degree of regularity, I could spend hours rattling off everything that’s wrong with the state of media and communications in Canada. And even though it’s one of those things I’ve gotten unfortunately good at, in doing so I could still probably miss an issue …

Anybody Want To Go To A Barenaked Ladies And Ben Folds Five Concert Tomorrow?

Sorry for the short notice, but it’s worth a try, I figure. Our old pal the Shoe Thief has two tickets to tomorrow night’s (Thursday, July 11th, 2013) Barenaked Ladies and Ben Folds Five concert at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, but unfortunately it looks like he and his guest won’t be able to use …

But Officer, All I Did Was Give Her A Coors Light To Say Sorry For The Misunderstanding

Note to Timothy Paez: The expression piss on it is just another way of saying ahh forget it, like you should have done when the nice young lady at the bar rejected your advances. It is not, I repeat not something to be treated literally. The woman told police she was standing next to the …

He Should Have Said He Wasn’t Gonna Do It Because It Wouldn’t Be Prudent

Nope, I’m not even gonna try to explain this. I subscribe to the police theory that there may have been drugs involved, however. When you cut off your penis because George Bush told you to, it’s not much of a leap to assume that either drugs you have taken or should be taking were probably …

IOS Vs. Android: Who’s Better At The App Thing?

I posted part one of this series a couple of weeks ago, and now part two is available. It’s all about the app experience on the two platforms. Once again it’s a lot to take in, but again it’s an interesting read. The thing that sticks out to me the most here is the difference …

The CRTC Lets Bell Buy Astral, Sells Canadians Down The River Again

Update: I still don’t have a percentage of the Canadian radio market that even more monstrous Bell holds following the sale, but have a look at the list of stations they’re taking over. Remember, this is just new stuff they own now. It’s not a list of stations they already had. Competitive broadcasting system, my …

Hey Hey! Ho Ho! We Were Sent By The PMO!

I sure am glad that the Harper government doesn’t have anything pressing to deal with these days. It must be nice to have so much free time on your hands that you can organize an entirely fake protest at a press conference held by the leader of Canada’s third party. HuffPost has learned the PMO …

He May Be A Creep, But At Least He Was Going To Clean Up After Himself

Antone Owens had to know that his life of crime wasn’t going to last forever. Not just because almost no one’s does, but because when you’re a not so discreet B and E artist with an apparent online porn problem, it’s just a matter of time. In a case from March, a female resident said she …

Hello, 911? My Mug Shot Looks Terrible! Ok, We’ll Be Right Over To Help You Take Another One

“I look gorgeous in this mug shot” are words that to the best of my knowledge have likely never been spoken. Mug shots catch people at their worst, which makes them hard to like (for the subject, at least). But until I ran across the story of Tonya Ann Fowler just now, I had never …
