You May Find This Hilarious (If You Consider Lord Denning To Be Hilarious)

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Law Skool

Because these are […]

Deadly funny. Only one joke, but a really, really good one.

Sometimes headline writers get a gift.

Come on, you can’t go wrong with a story like “impoverished surfer comes up with workable unified theory of physics.” That is sublimely awesome.

Obama Loves Anthrax (Not The Bad Kind)

Posted by MGK Published in It's The Youtube, Politics

Barack Obama’s technology and open-government policy proposals are honestly some of the most inspiring things I have seen in years – commonsense use of available technology to decloak government operation and legislative debate as much as humanly possible. The fact that this sort of thing is practically revolutionary is kind of sad, but revolutionary it […]

NEWSFLASH: Media Company Does Something Intelligent, Film At 11

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Economics, The Internets

Well, Marvel Comics dropped the hammer, and the interblogs are abuzz over their fancy announcement of offering comics online. And rightly so, considering this is something many of us – certainly including me – have agitated for for quite some time. Things about their model are good and others are not. They’re only dipping their […]

My morning commute story.

Posted by MGK Published in Nothing Else Fit

On my way to school, I take the St. Clair bus (normally a streetcar, but oh well, construction, it happens) to St. Clair West station, where I catch the subway north to law school. It is usually crowded and dense. Today, outside the station, a black man – say in the range of 25-30 – […]

CONTENT I BRINGS IT

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets

My weekly TV column up at Torontoist, as it is every Monday until month five of the writer’s strike and all I have to talk about is Return Of Farmer Wants A Wife 2. Less amusing than my column is the debate I participated in re: voluntary black-only schools in Toronto, but it’s worth reading.

It’s All Been Done Before (But So What?)

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Comic Remixes, Comics, Photoshopp'd

People kept emailing me asking me when I was going to do another comic parody, and my answer was always the same. “When the time is right, grasshopper.” World War Hulk? No. Firstly, it was actually good; secondly, it doesn’t have a lot of clunky expository dialogue and adding it would just be clumsy. Amazons […]
