Recently from me at TheCourt.ca: a summary of the American Supreme Court’s recent conservative swing.

Pringles aren’t chips.

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Law

At least according to British courts. Just imagine the potential for future rulings! Twinkies are not snack cakes. They are baked flavour pods. Mike N’ Ikes are not jellybeans. They are fruitesque capsules. Cookie Crisp is not cereal, nor is it cookies. It is unprepared mulch product. Captain Highliner is not a captain. He is […]

Such as this “found script” of Michael Bay writing The Dark Knight.

It rhymes with “buck Fell”

Posted by MGK Published in The Site

Thanks to the fuckuppery of Canada’s largest telecommunications giant being entirely willing to screw around with third-party internet providers, I am without home internet access for the next three or four weeks. This sucks ass, especially because I had a couple of Photoshop projects I wanted to do that I now cannot thanks to not […]

TWO MINUTES HATE

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy

3D-rendered pictures of “sexy girls.” No. They are not sexy. They are not even interesting; every single one is the same long legs and the same balloon tits and the same dead expression. Anybody calling this “art” sexy needs to be held down by an actual real woman and slapped repeatedly, because it is just […]

SCYTCD Bloggin’

Posted by MGK Published in Obligatory So You Think You Can Dance Category, TV

(NOTE: Due to a staggering lack of home internet connectivity, no Who’s Who entry this week. Sorry.) The problem with having Napoleon and Tabitha as judges is that apparently the only other hip-hop choreographers available to SYTYCD right now are Cicely and Alyssa. This is problematic, because Cicely and Olisa’s specialty is a subsection of […]

What I Read.

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

As a further bit of explanation, and to demonstrate where I’m coming from, I will go through this week’s offerings and tell you how I plan to consume them. My rampant downloading will no doubt anger some comics professionals, but until that new copyright bill gets ass-rammed through Parliament I’m not technically breaking the law […]

The Reading Thing

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

Lister Sage, in comments from the previous post: Maybe the biggest problem with comics is not the direct market, it’s not the price, it’s not even that kids aren’t reading them, maybe the problem is the general reluctance of people nowadays to just sit down and read. Newspaper sales have been getting poorer and poorer […]

Reinventing the wheel.

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

I’ve argued before for a new delivery model for comics as necessary to keep the business alive in the long term. Before I go any further discussing it, let’s tack on one more reason why going to a download-supporting sales model is a good move for comics companies: the electronic transfer of .cbr files is […]
