Since I have graduated from law school and am now working at Wise Law Office, it’s incumbent upon me to mention that Ontario-area readers in need of legal counsel – particularly those in the southern half of Ontario – should consider us, as we are A) quite good and B) quite reasonably priced, and make […]

Passing around the hat

Posted by MGK Published in The Site

So my annual “pay money to keep site alive” time has passed, and I am significantly poorer because the type of hosting you need to keep a site up and running when you get Farked or similar (which happens every so often here) is pricier than average. I’m happy to pay it, because blogging is […]

Do people spend more money on bad movies?

Posted by MGK Published in Flicks, Photoshopp'd

A while back, Pajiba ran an article suggesting that, contrary to popular belief, Americans preferred to see relatively good movies rather than mindlessly spending their money on total crap. I thought the idea of the analysis was interesting but the execution flawed; after all, Box Office Mojo’s “critical grades” bias themselves heavily towards the Bs […]

This does not even merit an “oh no”

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Rex The Motherfucking Wonder Dog

Because, really, counting bullets? That is not even a thing for Rex. Granted, the gun was an automatic rather than a revolver and Rex could tell that the gun was empty due to subtle shifts in how the man held it, thus coming to understand that the gun was lighter because it no longer had […]

AND THEN HE WILL BE PRESIDENT OF ALL THE PLANETS

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

Recently the Legion of Super-Heroes have reinstituted that greatest of Legion traditions: the election of a new leader. Now, there are those cynics who will claim that whomever the fans select is immaterial because DC Comics will just “find” a bunch of votes for Element Lad again, but I believe in the direct democracy that […]

It’s fun to do other people’s jobs for them

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets

So Google has decided that the best way to advertise its various products is to get you, the user, to do it for them: The crowdsourcing of advertising in ways like this always interests me because originally the point of these things was to get innovative advertising at lower cost: enticing people to submit creative […]

SYTYCD Canada Bloggin’

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

Your judges are the usual four. Amanda and Denys: salsa. A pretty strong routine from Gustavo MOTHERFUCKING Vargas, but he goes for the triple leg lift and Denys blows it a bit. Pity; that’s a really difficult move (and one that I don’t think blends well into a routine generally; it’s just too stunty) and […]
