Plagiarism, you sons of bitches!

Recently, I wrote a piece about hiccups. I thought it would be a fun way to dispell all the serious shite on the CBC's site, and there was a hiccup story in the news, so it was timely.

It's here if anyone's actually interested:

Anyhoo, a couple of days later, a friend of mine is listening to 99.1 FM, which did some hilarious thing about hiccups, cures etc and, according to her, you could tell a bunch of their stuff was stolen from my piece.

Where are my royalties, you fuckers?

Almost done!

CBC on the run

Following up last week's exposure of the CBC as an immoral and arrogant institution that thinks it's above the law, here's a nice little video clip. It's from The Hour and George Stroumbolopoulopolopoulous has all the dirt. It's kinda funny. Take a look:

National Post 1, CBC 0

I'd like to publicly congratulate Phil's retarded newspaper for this retarded story on their retarded website.

They discovered the CBC's dirty secret; there are smoking rooms in the building. They also have incriminating video of the rooms!

Of course, the article even says several times that they are totally legal and there are many clearly labelled "smoking room" signs all over the building. But the Post's intrepid reporters call it a "smoking room sting."

Way to bust the CBC, Post! Your investigative journalism has us on the run!

You guys suck!

Ice floes

StatsCan came out with their new report on seniors today. There are more old people, more internet-savvy, and claim to be healthy, but are fat.

In the interest of spicing it up, here's my working lead:


Canada's seniors are fatter and older than ever before, according to a new report from Statistics Canada. Since they're fat and old and no one loves them, they're spending more time looking for love online.

The CBC wholeheartedly endorses the bygone practice of placing seniors on ice floes and forcing them to fend for themselves.


Too controversial?

Cloning, tits

I wrote some bigass piece about cloning yesterday, and not only did I get away with calling it "Send in the Clones," but I managed to fit in a reference to Dolly Parton's tits.

That's almost the Alves School of "fitting debatably relevant shit into your writing."

Plus, I got my name on it. My first official byline. Huzzah for me!

Lemony Snicket

is a bit of a smartass. I interviewed him this afternoon (well, I interviewed his "handler", Daniel Handler). He was ok but a bit....snarky? Anyway, horrible interview...I think he was chewing gum or eating a PBJ during the whole interview so I had to keep getting him to repeat stuff. Fun. My Q and A will be online...ummm...eventually, I guess.
