I saw an ad on the site saying that McDonald’s gift cards make a convenient and delicious Christmas gift. I’m with them on convenient, I love gift cards. Those magical little bastards make my gift giving life so much easier. But delicious? Who’d they get to test that, and how pissed off is he going …

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Posts
I’m sitting here and I can hardly believe it’s exactly two weeks before Christmas. How in hell did I get here and how did it happen so fast? I agree with Steve that it doesn’t seem possible that it’s already Christmas again. In fact, when I try and think of things I’ve gotten people, I …

Nice Guys Usually Finish Last, But They Can Catch VD As Quickly As Anybody Else
Not sure what I’m more worried about. VD, or getting this1969 PSA song about VDstuck in my head. I’m worried that even if I’m nice or healthy looking, I still may catch myself humming along with it.
Congratulations To Ray, And Whatever The Opposite Of Congratulations Is To The Stone Road Mall
Carin and I would like to take a second to congratulate Guelph Mayoral candidate Ray Mitchell on accomplishing what we believe to be a first for his run. Unless we missed something, he made it through the entire hour and a half candidates discussion on CJOY this morning without once saying “I won’t win,” “it …
Do Some Call Him The Gangster Of Divorce Lawyerin’?
This,from what I understand, is a completely serious ad for Florida lawyer Steve Miller’s DivorceEZ service. sure beats the hell out of all those “Bernard Shapiro got me a huge cash settlement!” commercials we generally see all the time. And for anybody who got the Richard Jeni reference in that last sentence, I tried to …

Hoaxes, Hoaxes, Eat Them Up, Yum
Remember Flime? The restaurant asking for human flesh? Well, there is no Flime restaurant. It was all a publicity stunt by what looks like the German equivalent of Peta in both style and substance. They were trying to make people think about eating meat, and so talked about eating human meat just to watch the …
What A Douche! No, I’m Not Talking About The Product!
Good god! Whoever it was at Summer’s Eve who came up with this add that tells women basically to douche for success should be immediately fired. Hell, whoever was in charge of creating and approving and dispatching the ad should all be fired. That not one of them screamed nononononono! means they’re all really really …

Dickheads, Dickheads, Eat Them Up, Yum!
I spend a lot of time yelling at people for not seeing jokes for what they are, jokes. But in the case of this supposed joke on a restaurant’s website, I cannot make the journey. A restaurant due to open soon in Berlin by the name of Flime has a strange request up on its …
Saving You From Some Trouble On The Internet And Beyond
I haven’t had much to say the last couple days (energy sapping migraines will do that to ya), but I’m starting to feel a bit better so I thought I’d pop in with a couple of helpful links that will hopefully save you some trouble down the line. I have no interest in Facebook whatsoever, …

The Vtech Bullshit Hotline
On all of the Blue Jays radio broadcasts they’ve been plugging this Vtech Bullpen Hotline contest where you can win a VTECH Dect 6.0 Model DS6321-2 dual-handset cordless phone every time the team playing against the Jays goes to their bullpen. Actually they use this stupid wording about “every time the Jays ring up the …
