Parched? Why not have a cool, refreshing Bong Water! I really wonder what target demographic this product speaks to.
In the same issue, NS reporters also report their breakthrough findings that water is “wet”.
New Scientist: Sex with a partner is 400% better! Well duh. Apparently New Scientist readers would not otherwise know the difference?
La SAQ est une société très innovatrice… au chagrin de monsieur tout-le-monde.
Alcool: la SAQ continue ses déboires. Ils se font encore prendre à forcer une hausse artificielle des prix. Il est vraiment temps de reconsidérer s’il y a vraiment une raison d’être à la SAQ — nous payons pour l’alcool des prix plus élevés que dans les autres provinces, la sélection des boissons est franchement piteuse à comparer à n’importe où ailleurs, et les dirigeants semblent incapables d’être honnêtes avec les Québécois. Le temps est vraiment venu de changer les choses.
But clearly cartoons are more important than internal political repression!
The Religious Policeman isn’t too impressed with the situation in the Middle East right now. He’s often controversial, always interesting.
The Goons: not just for the web anymore.
GBStv. Eclectic videos and short films from around the world… well worth a look (hey, it’s free).
And Sam Raimi never got hired to shoot another safety video again.
This is possibly the funniest ‘workplace safety’ video ever! It’s priceless… but also quite gory in a cartoonish way, so be warned.
They’re such doubting Thomases!
Activists reject China’s denial of Internet censorship. Well duh. Did China actually think that anyone would believe that bullshit?
Somewhere along the way the spirit of the message was lost forever.
To show how Islam shouldn’t be associated with violence, Peshawar residents put a $1 million bounty on the head of the Danish cartoonist who drew the infamous Mohammed cartoon. Nothing says “we’re peaceful” like a well-funded assassination contract. Evidently things like irony are unknown in that particular area of Pakistan.
So this is why the French are news junkies!
French newsanchor and web cult celebrity Mélissa Theuriau. Unfortunately she’s on the one French channel we *don’t* get in Montreal! It’s just not fair, I tell ya.
In related news the US denies ever invading Iraq.
China denies internet restrictions. But seriously folks… the most ironic part of this story is that there’s a good likelihood that people accessing the internet in China will probably not get a chance to see it. I’ll file this one under “bullshit.”
