If You Like Arcane Political Debate Coverage Then I Am Your Guy!

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, The Internets

There was recently a debate on mixed-member parliamentary representation versus our current first-past-the-post system here in Toronto, and I covered it. Those not familiar with Canadian politics may not get all of the gags, but oh well.

Tunesbloggin’

This week: “Sucks To Be You” by Prozzak, which is probably the best joke “band” ever invented. Two members of the Philosopher Kings, a couple of cartoon fronts, and stealing Europop dancehall traditions two years after the fact and tossing them into a blender with over-the-top emo lyrics: equation for total kitsch coolness.

An Open Letter to the Canadian Minister of Citizenship And Immigration

Hey, Diane Finley! First off, let me just say that you totally rock those tinted glasses and that having Graves’ Disease must suck. Mad props to you, D-Fin. Now, as to the meat of this missive: Sweden is making us look bad. I know, I know, it’s already a bit of an uphill battle what […]

The thing about law school is that pretending this is content helps me buy time to read up on contract law. Which, I assure you, is deadly.

Oh Yes. There Will Be Blood.

Variety is reporting that Eli Roth, director of such fine films as Hostel and Cabin Fever and Kill Killy McKillerson, has signed on to direct an episode of Heroes. Luckily, due to my massively awesome connections (don’t you wish you had connections?), I have already managed to read the script for his episode, and as […]

On Eliminationism

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

1944: In nature, there are creatures that can only live at the expense of hosts, from the life of other creatures: Grape vine and vine louse — without a grape vine, it perishes. A tree and mistletoe — without a tree to support it, no mistletoe. The Jew is the parasite among humans. That is […]

NEWSFLASH: Michelle Malkin still very stupid.

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

The current issue of Maclean’s features some (cheap) Photoshoppery of Dubya-as-Saddam on the cover, accompanying an article by Patrick Graham about America is now attempting to sign on former Hussein flunkies to smooth into a hopeful era of relatively stable government in Iraq. (Which is not particularly news, but we are on newsmagazine time in […]

Two Comical Book Movies

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Flicks

I saw Persepolis a few weeks ago at a press screening for the Toronto International Film Festival, and last night I watched Superman/Doomsday. And really, there are no two works as spiritually akin as these two are: Marjane’s struggle against patriarchal fundamentalism is, dare I say it, exactly like Superman’s struggle against a giant killer […]

Wholly Anecdotal Evidence Theatre

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

After my law school classes today, I went to four separate comic stores downtown looking for a copy of Dr. Thirteen: Architecture and Morality. Sold out. Everywhere. I even called a couple other stores and they, too, were sold out. One store got ten copies (which, for a trade paperback featuring a… no, not D-list, […]
