It’s time for my favourite race of the Formula One World Championship. The F1 circus makes its only stop of the season in North America this weekend for the Canadian Grand Prix. This is largely homerism but the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is one of today’s great Grand Prix circuits. Regardless of the fact that it’s part street circuit and part dedicated race track, it always produces an exciting and unpredictable event. Maybe that’s what some folks need to knock Sebastian Vettel off the top step of the podium. Continue reading

It seems that the internet has been looking for the next Rebecca Black. While there are dozens of wanna-be YouTube artists who can’t sing but post crappy webcam videos of themselves, it takes that special someone to get a professional recording studio to produce a song and music video for them. And that brings us to this week’s Worst of Music winner. It’s a Norwegian housewife that you’ve never heard of before and you’ll never hear from again with a song called I Don’t Wanna Be A Crappy Housewife. Continue reading

Speaking of which, X-Men: The First Class is a refreshing, engaging entry to the X-Men films, so check it out in theatres when you get the chance.
