Parody Is Not An Infrigement of Copyright (Watch It While You Can)

One of the big hub-bubs of the last week or so was around the fact that American right-wing commentator, Ann Coulter, had one of her speeches in Canada shut down by protesters.  The one that was shut down was at the University of Ottawa while others at locations including my alma mater, the University of […]

April Fool's Shenanigans

I usually have an April Fool's joke lined up for my April 1 blog post but this year it just totally escaped me.  So instead, here's a link to a MetaFilter post on the topic o' the day.   Weird to note that I often end up doing two blog posts on April 1 for some […]

Friday Fun Link – Calling It "Palin" Probably Isn't A Term of Affection (March 26, 2010)

A company that makes an alternate to traditional female hygiene products, the Moon cup, has a brilliant marketing gimmick on their web site where they encourage readers to submit their pet names for their, ahem, lady bits.  One of the many jokes in the list of entries (I would give anything to hear George Carlin […]

I Feel Like A Heineken For Some Reason…

The Invention of Lying – Mini-Review

We watched Ricky Gervais' “The Invention of Lying” tonight and it's a fairly subversive comedy in a thematic area that doesn't get a lot of attention from Hollywood.  The film's trailer made it look like a typical Hollywood gimmicky slug line = green light production.  You can imagine the pitch:  “It's like Jim Carrey's “Liar […]
