Michael Jackson is a walking indictment of the plastic surgery industry. Anyone who is considering "getting a little work done" should look very carefully at these pictures and think long and hard.
(Speaking of which: anyone notice how cat-like both Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed are starting to look on Gene Simmons' Family Jewels?)
My favourite Captain Sensible story -- which I've never been able to verify as fact -- was that he took out an insurance policy against having a number one pop hit, with the understanding that getting onto the pop charts would damage his punk credibility. Once 'Happy Talk' hit number one in Britain, he was able to collect a sweet pay-out, and in the end his street-cred remained more or less intact.

Well I don't see what's so interesting about people who take to the streets and protest things when they're angry or upset. I mean, like, everyone knows that protests don't change anything.

Stupid, no. Ignorant, yes.
All this talk of Canadians not knowing their history just reminds me of my high school history teacher, Mr. Stewart, and how frustrated he'd get when his students would blithely admit in class that they hadn't done the assigned reading or finish the essay assignment from the previous night (this was in 1986). Mr. Stewart would then grumble about how kids just didn't care anymore - one time he even kicked a nearby desk so hard that it jumped half a foot off the floor. I was always amazed at how the other kids thought nothing about saying to the teacher's face that they hadn't even bothered doing the homework. But hey, it's just history class, right?
Salman Rushdie should just go and publish a pop-up book with cartoons of Mohammed eating bacon cheeseburgers. It's not like he's ever going to make amends with the hardliners, so he might as well go whole hog... pardon the pun. Or not.
Actually, fooliosis, I'd say seasons one through seven are worthy. But then again once we start in with the name-calling via cleverly-respelled nicks, then any further debate on the issue is moot.
The South Park movie didn't suck at all. Why would the Simpsons movie?
Because The Simpsons has been on auto-pilot for the last ten years. For a long time it was the best show on television, but like all good programmes they've run out of steam.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by the South Park movie. More often than not, the movie version of a popular television show ends up be a letdown at best.
He always seemed to have more fun in the ring than the average wrassler. Though I do remember one televised match where he flew at his opponent and missed, ramming his head right into the metal post (unscripted). He definitely will be missed.
My ma went to Ben's a lot when she was growing up in Montreal. True, Schwartz's and Dunn's had the better food, but Ben's had a cool historic feel to it, and it was easier to get to (at least for Concordia students like me). And as was pointed out previously, you didn't have to fight for a seat.
I had a chance to go to Ben's for the first time in ten years last September, but I didn't want to cross the picket line. Looking at what the empolyees were up against, at least I feel like I made the right decision. Still, sad day.
