Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I don’t know what the names of the crew aboard Asiana flight 214 are, but I’m pretty sure I know what they aren’t. Really, we’re not racist. Some of our best friends are Asian pilots. Indeed, to the surprise of no one other than the KTVU news team who apparently don’t bother reading anything aloud …

I missed this a couple of weeks ago when it was announced because summer and because that’s just how things tend to roll around here at the best of times anyway, but it’s still most definitely worth a mention especially to anybody who grew up on CKCO and now CTV Kitchener news like I did. …
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.

No, I don’t think it’s a good idea. You can’t legislate the normal types of human socialization that go on as we’re growing up. We already …

Since this is one of those things I’ve harped on a time or six, it seems only fitting to make a note that the day has finally arrived! Rules barring loud TV ads go into effect Saturday Saturday means September 1st, so as of now, you should be able to turn on your tv without …
