• Commented on HOW TO Make Some Truly Wonderful Sweet Potatoes
  Also Canadian from Southern Ontario. I would NEVER eat that garbage. Every now and again someone will bring the whole sweet potato and marshmallow garbage to a potluck. I refuse to eat that crap either. Gross. I had someone even...
• Commented on Handcuffed, suspected bank robber eats alleged stick-up note
  I am not sure I am a bad person for finding this seriously funny $%@!. I mean clearly that policeman made a mistake there. If this guy is a bank robber then likely not a very nice person. All the...
• Commented on Cop gets 7-day paid vacation for Tasering child
  If you are unable to handle a 10 year old girl throwing a tantrum without tasering her, perhaps being a cop isn't a good professional choice for you. Conversely if you are unable to handle a 10 year old girl...

  If you are unable to handle a 10 year old girl throwing a tantrum without tasering her, perhaps being a cop isn't a good professional choice for you. Conversely if you are unable to handle a 10 year old girl...
• Commented on Google puts a stop to tooth-whitening, belly-flattening scumbags
  On one hand: Good for Google for doing the right thing. On the other hand: It is kind of scary, but what is to stop Google from doing this to anyone that displeases them. They can almost single handily destroy...
• Commented on Infographic: Projected pot tax revenues
  Besides beating up hippies is easy! They don't fight back! Peace Bro! lol! Anyway on a somewhat serious note, police would be just as busy making sure sellers only sell to those over 18, raiding illegal grow operations, and bootleggers,...
• Commented on Musicians call for release of torture soundtrack details
  Two words. Hamster Dance. 'nuff said....
• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  A sign of the times methinks. Unless you look like Farley Mowat or Chris Cringle police are likely going to assume you are smoking pot and harass you if you smoke a pipe in public....
• Commented on Proof that President Obama is a Borg
  What I got from this: The President only has one tie. I think it would be arrogant to think anyone needs more ties than the president of the USA. Also the USA! pin on his left lapel is in the...
• Commented on Unusual police sketch
  Art Class Called... ...Here's your money back....
• Commented on Student kills burglary suspect with Samurai sword
  Two things: 1) Its probably more accurate to say that it is a Ronin sword... but then again no one would know wtf it is. 2) The argument about the various "Castle" scenarios has nothing to do with silly moralistic...
• Commented on All publicly funded content should be in the public domain.
  Depends on Licensing. Not Public Domain. Public Domain means anybody can use it for anything. Definitely not correct. So your saying what is essentially is the Canadian Government should release into the public domain anything they create after 5 years?...
• Commented on Patriotic donut holes and cakes commemorating 9/11
  w.t.f. There is a special place in hell for these people. Same goes for the exploitative jerks who make the "commemorative coins and plates"......
• Commented on Treatment of intersexed African athlete appalling
  My two cents: The term "hermaphrodite" being derogatory is BS. The fact that this information is being made public, while unfortunate, I do not see as a breach of privacy. If it was just some jerk working at foot locker...
• Commented on Man hunts for poo-squirting con artist in Delhi
  As much as I hate to say it I kind of agree with the American, and not the BBC reporter. Attacking someone with feces isn't cool. This type of behavior would make me think twice about visiting a country where...
• Commented on Cat burglar falls off three-storey building across from my bedroom window
  I think this is horrible. The guy was climbing on the side of a building, and fell 3 stories and broke his leg. The first thing they do is call the cops? How about a ambulance? Remind me never to...
• Commented on Boulder park warns that all bags "subject to search"
  As already mentioned, this is likely more about fireworks, and I would think potential forest fires. Its all fine and dandy to catch someone after the fact, but in the meantime, forest, property, and potentially lives are at risk. As...
• Commented on Visa claims teen spent $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 on prepaid credit card
  A) I don't think I would be inclined to pay the 20$ fee. Also B) How else are kids going to learn about bankruptcy?...
• Commented on Creepy unmarked cage for people in Superior, Colorado
  If it wasn't for the fold down seat I would have thought this was a Bear cage, it is a park. Perhaps they like to sit as well?...
• Commented on Lawyer asks judge to force rival to wear nicer shoes
  My Dad is a lawyer and I remember him doing this all the time. He would play the dumb country bumkin. I know he was anything but however, he is very smart and astute. You would be surprised how many...
• Commented on Saving the tasty Mangalica pig from the brink of extinction -- so it can be eaten
  I saw something exactly like this on TV. Because of the change to synthetic corks in wine bottles, protecting the cork tree is becoming a challenge. Its economic worth has diminished and thus so has our incentive to try and...
• Commented on Conference Board of Canada admits that its publicly funded, plagiarized, biased copyright "research" is junk
  "...internal review..." Yes, that is what happened. That or a holy shitstorm of public outcry. I know I sent to story to both NDP and Liberal parties, though who knows if they really read that stuff anyway. Though someone else...
• Commented on Too much cola causes muscular weakness
  Also think about Freakanomics. Perhaps there is also a statistical correlation between the people that would freaking drink 9 cans of coke in a day and those that smoke 20+ cigerates a day, or the fact that those people are...
• Commented on Too much cola causes muscular weakness
  Considering this comes from the International Journal of Clinical Practice it sounds awfully unscientific. Of course this could just be bad editing and a poor choice of headline. What is Coke? It is causing it? What in Coke is causing...
• Commented on Utterly Nuts, but Sane Enough to Execute in Texas
  They probably want to kill mentally retarded people and small children as well. The guy is obviously insane by his actions that put him in jail, and more recently for plucking out his only freaking eye and eating it. I...
• Commented on Xeni on the Road in West Africa: Obamamania Persists in Benin
  "Apart from street signs, billboard and street hawkers toting obama's face around I've also heard of voudoun [voodoo] ceremonies being held for Obama during the elections," Hugo says. Well I have already heard of Obama Zombie Halloween masks: "Chaaange!"...
• Commented on Mystery sonic boom in California
  Guile, duh! SONIC BOOM!...
• Commented on Woman places 3 calls to 911 to complain about McNuggets incident
  Well just a couple of things. Some people making light and just saying let it go, are being a bit insensitive. Who knows what her situation is, and to judge without thought is pretty lame. Also, sure 6$ is of...
• Commented on Police seek man's stolen medicinal weed
  Gives new meaning to Canada's War on Drugs! Back in the day an ounce cost about 300$ or so (28g in an oz I believe). Typically buddies would buy an ounce from some friend tree planting in BC for about...
• Commented on Ways To Be Cool
  What a loser! jk! :)...
