Bunkum, hoodoo, and other fun synonyms for “full of it”

Posted by MGK Published in David Suzuki Says You're Bad, The Internets

Neil Reynolds is probably the Globe and Mail’s premier hack columnist: your bog-standard anti-Keynesian upper class white guy with a knack for pretentious phrasing oft combined with folksy imagery. The Globe generally doesn’t have a lot of gratituously pointless writers on its staff, so presumably Reynolds fulfills a quota; either that or he couldn’t get […]

What the hell, Fox News

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

Attacking Mister Rogers? Seriously. Mister Rogers, for crissake. It’s rare that I would quote a Youtube comment as eloquent, but: Even 4chan doesn’t talk shit about Mr. Rogers. That’s how low Fox news has become.

“What do sixteen hundred Christian boys think girls should wear? Let’s find out!”

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets, WTF

So the Modesty Survey is starting to make its way around the internet, and for me this is a totally alien subculture.
