Commented on Canadian Industry Minister Jim Prentice loads the DMCA, aims it at Canada's temple, and pulls the trigger
In a disgusting bait-and-switch, the Harper government is pushing this bill forward within 24 hours of the PM's official apology to the aboriginal victims of the Residential Schools program. They're no doubt trading on the good press they'll be receiving...
Commented on Post-Rapture document delivery
What an excellent scam. Seriously, think of a religious reason for people to give you their banking info, social security, and power of goddamned attorney? Holy crap that's deliciously evil. Which, you know, pretty much guarantees that these folks won't...
Commented on Crocodile scarring ritual on video
Nothing happening with the link in Safari, either....
Commented on Explosions rock the Moon
On a quick skim, the second sentence in the post looked like "...caused by metroids..." and I was all, "Fuck! I knew it! Get me a silent female bounty hunter, ASAP!"...
Commented on Teen in skimpy dress denied prom entrance
Here's hoping she was just arrested by the fashion police, because DAMN. That'd be tacky at a luau....

Commented on Ben Stein: "science leads you to killing people"
@74: Speaking of deliberate misunderstandings. Darwin's theories and the concepts of evolution / natural selection in no way promote the horrid atrocities you've posited. Here's a passage from The Descent of Man, as quoted in the Scientific American article linked...
Commented on Blackberry's Kickstart clamshell is coming later this year
I have to agree with all the other guys and gals here who've extolled the virtues of the hidden controls and protected screens on a flip phone, but my favourite bit has to be the tactile aesthetics. Which is really...
Commented on Space aliens invade Canada
Huh, how weird is this. I live in Calgary, I'm a CBC junkie, and I never heard a peep about this. How is it that NBC got wind of it over a month ago? Maybe the US media is more...
Commented on Honda's Power of Dreams
@ #37: BB had Nike ads up a couple of months ago, maybe as much as a year. I sent off an email to the editors voicing some of the concerns that people have mentioned in this thread (perceived conflict...
Commented on Rat kings
Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would've been an even cooler cartoon if the Rat King looked like this, instead of a muscleman in a ratty (pun or not, your call) leather outfit....

macrumpton commented on Beck's Gamma Ray
'95? Maybe I am dating myself, but that looks (and even sounds somewhat) much closer to '65 or maybe '69 than anything I saw in'95. Look at Monty Python and Yellow Submarine and tell me I am crazy....

Wow, that tasted kinda gritty, but it was good....
burningfencepost commented on Beck's Gamma Ray
I listen to and love all sorts of music made by people who have done and believe in things that I personally find highly upsetting or just questionable. Not sure what that makes me. But generally speaking I'm up for tolerance, communication and understanding. His beliefs have made me question my love of his output though, sadly. Mainly down to the whole pain relief issue, surely that's just evil, innit? Hmmm. Top video though. Loving that one greatly....
Nur commented on Ben Stein: "science leads you to killing people"
That's a wonderfully skillfully played Holocaust card - you're never going to defend the scientists at the death camps on and you'd never get away with saying "Well, actually, NASA really appreciated their research for the space program, do you hate creating Amercian jobs?" on Fox news He's a very good speaker and he assumes he's right when he speaks - it's his gut reaction. People like that are hard to get around, he'll either shout you down or he'll pull out a show stopper that'll unhinge your argument. It's sad how much better a skilled and experienced orator speaking...
