Vampires Vs. Zombies
 Posted 11/15/2009 4:00:00 PM
"New Moon" is the most talked about movie of the fall. Big deal. Vampires who've managed to convince their parents to pay for their wireless bills chase girls who've achieved puberty.
I've never liked vampires. I still don't. The entire vampire genre stinks of sexual hormones and slow speaking players with nice hair who just want to get laid. It's the "Entourage" of horror. And with the emergence of the teenage vampire nonsense like "New Moon" there's a stench of Axe body spray and dudes who shave their chests and other places. Rip the clothes off a vampire you've just killed and he'll probably have a shaved scrotum 'cause that's what the "Teen Vampire" blog said would be cool.
Vampires always had the glib dialogue like "I don't drink. Blood.". I don't mind a guy wanting to get all up with a lady but vampires in tuxedos who have to ...
Discover Canada

It's not a breath of fresh air; it's a hurricane of common sense.
It's called "Discover Canada" and it replaces "A Look At Canada". The government today released a 62 page guide to Canada for new future Canadians that replaces recycling tips with a real history of this country, including the bits that may make us uncomfortable.
I've been too uncomfortable hearing young Muslim men tell me that their women are gifts from God and should be treated like chocolate in the hot sun. They were born here. They should know better.
Only the Harper Conservatives could do this. Even though I've been concerned the Harperites were too willing to engage in the temple "we'll consult with the elders" nonsense that has hijacked ridings like Brampton-Springdale, this guide is startling in its language.
It actually uses a word like "barbaric" to describe honour killings. Imagine that. Same word used for ...
Pan I Am, Green Cash And Ham

If the 2015 Pan American Games are dispatched with the kind of organization seen at yesterday's bid announcement, it'll be screwed. Reporters caught the announcement on Omni 2 by mistake when it broke into the popular telenovella "Scorpions y Cigarellos".
You think that, maybe, one of the political bigwigs down in Mexico could have thumbed a Crackberry note to the bid party in Toronto that things were running ahead of schedule? David Miller's daughter, who's down Mexico way with dad to pick up a few tips on foreign influence peddling, probably tipped off half her Facebook friends before we found out.
Even with three of the worst politicians in Ontario history on hand, there was much to smile about. Hamilton will get a new CFL stadium. GO Transit is adding one train daily westbound from Union but it won't stop anywhere, it goes right to the Willowbrook Yard for repairs. ...
