Hey, you know that thing I do where I make fun of internet commenters? Yeah, that again, this time about the constitutional challenge being mounted against prostitution laws.

I always felt Warp got a bit of a raw deal getting killed off in Salvation Run (which has numerous flaws as a story, not least the idea that half of the supervillains would willingly say “sure thing, Joker can be the leader!”). I mean, yeah, he’s a teleporter and all so he can come […]

This is probably the sharpest bit of poetic satire I’ve seen in a very long time.

When I was ten, McDonald’s Monopoly came to Canada for the first time. First off, when you’re ten, McDonald’s has a major impact on your entire life. Our local McDonald’s – the one just down the street from my school, St. Clement’s – got a drive-thru when I was eight, and for all of us […]

Your guest hosts are Mary Murphy and Rex “FEEL THE GLAM” Harrington. Tara-Jean and Vincent: salsa and contemporary. The salsa was probably the strongest single ballroom performance Tara-Jean’s done, which makes it… pretty good. Seriously, I’m glad Tara-Jean improved and all, but she was oversold hella strong during the first half of the season with […]

“Sylvester Stallone in a comedy” should rightly raise warning bells. Warning sirens. Some loud noise of some kind, indicating danger. After all, Stallone’s track record for comedies is dismal, to say the least. (Six words: Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!) But every so often, the stars align just so, and what should be a […]

Various Responsible Media Centrists have already started bloviating about how Barack Obama should decline to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, under normal circumstances, this idea could be dismissed as the usual round of said media centrists advancing an idea because it is contrarian and therefore Very Serious, and really, we all know that’s the […]

Your guest judges are Mia (with buzzcut) and Dan (with no buzzcut). Guys: musical theatre. Melissa Williams delivers a straightforward, fairly simple routine that was perfectly decent. In order of weakest to strongest: Cody, Emanuel, Everett, Vincent. Everett’s fancy trick was better than Vincent’s fancy trick, but Vincent’s overall dancing was better. Emanuel was not […]

Recently Conservapedia has begun re-paraphrasing the Bible to make it more conservative. Now, they’re awfully busy and they’re mostly working on the New Testament right now, because that’s the bit with all the Jesus. So I thought I would pitch in on a famous part of the Old Testament: specifically, Daniel 6, the famous “Daniel […]
