After five races, we’ve seen five winners from five different teams. That might just be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how unpredictable this season has been so far. After being one of the worst cars on the grid last season, Williams and Pastor Maldonado won the Spanish Grand Prix. Despite having a car that’s been referred to as a big red dog, Fernando Alonso is tied for the World Drivers’ Championship lead. Only two drivers (Alonso and Lewis Hamilton) have scored points in every race so far. It looks like anything can happen in F1 this year. Continue reading
Wednesday Link-Off: Easy Writer
I wasn’t sure who to kick off this linkdump with but Fox kept telling me last night was the season finale of Glee. Given that the ads made it seem like most of the cast was “graduating” and that the show is terribly written, I doubt it’s long for this world. Anyway, since she’s likely soon to fade out of the public eye without steady network employment, here’s Lea Michele.
Tim Tebow needs new handlers and a new outlook on life. His handlers have requested the deletion of all pictures of him with female cast members of Rock of Ages. Tebow like women and musicals! How can he be the second coming if that’s the case? (Awful Announcing)
For some reason, Rick Reilly is still writing columns for ESPN. I don’t know how he’s still employed after turning in crap like this. (Deadspin)
Though there might be a scientific reason why Reilly’s columns seem so awful. I mean, beyond the writer. He’s writing his columns at a 5th grade level. (Deadspin)
After the jump, the worst baseball hitter ever, George Lucas gets revenge on his neighbours’ wallets and Will Smith (and everyone else) raps the Fresh Prince theme on live TV. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Tom Cruise – Pour Some Sugar On Me
When people say that Hollywood has run out of ideas, they aren’t kidding. The musical Rock of Ages is being turned into a movie that’s being released this summer. Showing that Hollywood won’t try letting a good idea stand up for itself, they’ve cast Tom Cruise as an aging rock star. As part of the movie being a musical, there’s singing involved. Unfortunately, Tom Cruise does his own singing as evidence by this week’s Worst of Music winner. Continue reading
For Victoria Day: 44 Minutes of Whose Line? Bloopers
One of the all-time great American TV show imports was Whose Line Is It Anyway? For a show that only lasted six years on network TV, it did have a massive impact. The reason why I bring this up on Victoria Day is that one of the show’s two regular performers was Canadian comedian Colin Mochrie who appeared in all 220 episodes. In addition, Canadian comedienne and actress Kathy Greenwood appeared in 33 episodes of the show.
So for Victoria Day, we have a laugh with a long video of Whose Line Is It Anyway Bloopers? After all, isn’t it very Canadian to have a good laugh every now and then. Continue reading
Wallpapers of the Week: May 20, 2012
I like changing up my desktop wallpaper on a regular basis. My wallpaper at work is even a slideshow so I have a new wallpaper every thirty minutes to change things up ever so slightly. So to help you change things up for your work week, I’ve scoured Flickr for five wallpapers that are worth adding to your collection for this week. Continue reading
Sunday Link-Off: Four Seasons And A Netflix Revival?
It’s a holiday weekend here in Canada. SUCKERS! Okay, next weekend, the shoe’s on the other foot. For now: SUCKERS! Anyway, in honour of the Canadian holiday, here’s Canadian model Alyssah Ali.
Bad news! NBC has turfed Dan Harmon from his post as showrunner of Community. Alan Sepinwall looks at how this will affect the show. (HitFix) So should we change the official hashtag to #FourSeasonsAndANetflixRevival?
Jose Canseco is trying to make a comeback using Twitter and minor league baseball. Here’s a look behind the scenes at the current life of Jose Canseco. (Sportsnet Magazine)
Good news! BioWare is bringing back the crew of the Normandy to do voice-over work on the Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut DLC. (G4 TV)
After the jump, Drew Magary tries to turn Justin Bieber into a man, a sneak peek at Unreal Engine 4 and the best of Booker Corrigan. Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: Battle At Sea
After getting dibs on the film a month early over in Australia, Battleship is finally being released in North America. By now, many people may have spoiled the movie for you or perhaps told you how brainless it is. In fact, it is true. At least it was a fun action flick and it contained good eye candy like Brooklyn Decker here.
After the jump, some Marvel news, Harold and Kumar goes animated, breaking down the finale of How I Met Your Mother, 4 minute preview of the new Spider-Man flick and a look at some of the CW shows for the fall. Continue reading
Caption This: May 12 – 18, 2012
Inspired by the Globe and Mail’s caption writing person, we waste our time writing funny picture captions for some of the more interesting photos we come across when blogging. So here are some of the best pictures from the past week with a funny (-ish) caption. Continue reading
The Twenty Greatest Driving Songs
This weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer in Canada. That means the snow has finally melted which will clean up the roads for guys like us to burn some rubber. Not that we lovers of speed need anything to motivate us to put the loud pedal to the floor but one of life’s great pleasures is to crank the tunes and have the wind whip through our hair (or what hair some of us have). However, only certain tunes have you driving full throttle.
So today, we’ve taken up the seemingly thankless task of selecting the twenty best songs that make you put your foot to the floor and not look back. Continue reading
Not News of the Week
It’s time for all the news that’s not fit for print. It’s time for the Not News of the Week.
A California man claims that he’s had an erection for the last 20 months and it’s because of his BMW motorcycle. Apparently, it’s nothing untoward on his part. He claims his erection problem started after a four-hour cruise and has had one ever since. (If this man is having a mid-life crisis [a safe assumption considering he’s riding a motorbike], he should consider himself lucky that he isn’t having issues with ED.) BMW is defending itself from the man’s lawsuit by saying that the man is using an after-market seat which means it can’t be BMW’s fault. My question is if Viagra says you should consult a doctor for erections lasting longer than four hours, why was this guy’s first visit to his lawyer instead of his doctor? Continue reading
