Oh Bruce Willis....

for those of you who didn't catch it, bruce willis did an interview on tsn during the raptors game the other night in which he appeared to have had more than a few "wobbly pops"before the interview. he refused to give the interview (which was really a shameless plug for his new Die Hard movie) unless some kid sitting beside him was included. and to top it all off, he used a word that one cannot repeat on this family-friendly site.......so i'll let bruce say it to you himself!



you tell me, was he drunk or not? more importantly, is this a big deal or not? viewers only lodged one (1) complaint about it though, so apparently it isn't. isn't this the same continent where janet jackson's nipple 'slip' ended her career?

oh yeah, the one other issue here: what kind of sports media is tsn? seriously, they're turning into a canadian version of fox! they might as well start bringing canadian tv stars to games to plug ctv's shows! what happened to the sports coverage? in the words of a famous fast food commercial, Where's the Beef?!?

the saga continues....




so......this weeks action in the war of racism brought to you by Don Imus and Al Sharpton. my question: is there a right way to handle something like this?

obviously Imus should not have said what he did - but to be fair, his comments were not inherently racist. the fact that he said them regarding a team comprised of black athletes is what made them racist in the eyes of the beholders. if he had said the same thing about a team of white athletes, would the reaction be the same? or would this not even be a blip on the media radar (remember, he was a shock jock to begin with)? is the problem for Don Imus that he is racist? or that American society is way too sensitive?

let's not forget that Al Sharpton's words, rather than help bring some desperately needed reconciliation, turned what was a pinprick into a gaping wound. are his actions, which perpetuate racism in America by blowing it out of proportion, acceptable? or should he also be held accountable for his words?

let me know what you think.


on a completely uncontroversial note, hello to everyone. i'm the newbie. i promise i'll post more links to help you waste time (the internet is so cool that way). until then, semper ubi sub ubi!

A Message From The Man

To smoke, or not to smoke...


So have you heard this? Smoking can actually improve your mental capabilities...or so researchers believe. Some test have shown that nicotine has improved mental awarness in alzheimers patients. You can read more about it here.
Why was smoking so frowned upon again? Oh that's right the whole cancer thing...well if you can't remember names or faces you might as well light up some stogies.

Beer & Water




In the past: Beer = the Devil... In the present: Water = the Devil

Here's the proof...
In the year of 2007 Jennifer Strange, age 28, died of water intoxication whilst participating in a water-drinking contest from a local radio station.

What will them fundamentalist Christians do?

Here's the article.

K - FED Takes on Google.

K-Fed is pretty much the coolest guy ever. He married a really great person, created the best cd of the year, and now has even defeated Google. Thats right... Google has become obsolote with the invention of the new K-Fed Search Engine. When you use Kevin to search the internet K-Fed gives back as well. Every time you use this engine to search the web you stand a chance of winning authentic autographed K-Fed gear! How awesome is that?

All Apologies...

So... you guys here are all well aware of my outward disdain for celebrities. With that in mind, I wanted to recognize an important accomplishment. Britney has left rehab. Hooray! In no time flat Brit has graduated highest honours and received her loser diploma. Here's some good recent footage of Brit finally escaping the confines of drug-free life.

Deep Reflection


The other day I found myself thinking deeply about a few serious issues in life. The most notable of these was, "What would happen if Sideshow Bob and Jack Osborne had a love child?" My quest led me far and near... here, there, and everywhere... until I found the the very product of that lovefest for myself.

Visit here to view the product of my tenuous research.

How to Wipe Your Ass

I don’t remember being shown how to wipe my ass. My mother never knelt in front of me on the toilet and coached me on my form, and I should hope that your parents showed similar restraint. In theory, this is something that we learn through trial and error — even if we don’t remember it — and it is very likely that every person has developed his or her own masterful variation on any number of possible techniques.

With that said, for an official description of various techniques and strategies visit this link.

Another Inconvenient Truth: Never Trust a Politician


Gore's documentary film "An Inconvenient Truth" won an Oscar on Sunday for chronicling his campaign against global warming.

The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research put out a news release saying Gore was not doing enough to reduce his own consumption of electricity.

Utility records show the Gore family paid an average monthly electric bill of about $1,200 last year for its 10,000-square foot home. Gore's home has gas lamps lining his driveway, a heated pool and an electric gate; all of which would be easy to do without.

The Gores used about 191,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, according to bills reviewed by The Associated Press spanning the period from Feb. 3, 2006, to Jan. 5. That is far more than the typical Nashville household, which uses about 15,600 kilowatt-hours per year. (Gore also owns homes in Carthage, Tenn., and in the Washington area.)

Al Gore was too good to be true. He spent over $30,000 on his electricity and gas bills alone last year and he used more than 20 times the energy of the average American.

Thanks for the cool documentary Al, but you're still a douchebag politician.

Celebrity for a Day


Ever wanted to hang out with a sports icon for a day? Well now you can... for the right price. Playing Field Promotions is a website that shows you what the price tag is to have a sports celebrity show up to your personal event. Buyer Beware... an engagement with Mr. Ovechkin will set you back 20,000-30,000 dollars. Some celebs could be considered a bargain at the 5,000 dollar tag. Imagine having a slumber party with Spud Webb?

The Secret Lives of Celebrities

After doing quite an amount of personal investigation I am willing to make an informed and measured statement regarding the apparent identities of two NBA players.

"I have concluded by the most meticulous of standards, that Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks is indeed Curtis Jackson A.K.A. 50 Cent, and that Anderson Varejao of the Cleveland Cavaliers is undoubtedly none other than Sideshow Bob."
