U.N. landmine commerical won’t air in US.
A U.N. commercial depicts American girls playing in a soccer match. A girl steps on a landmine and there’s a big explosion. Kids get blown apart. CNN and other networks don’t want to air the ad.
The explosion appears to kill and injure some girls, sparking panic and chaos among parents and other children. Shrieks of horror are heard through much of the spot, and a father is shown cradling his daughter’s lifeless body, moments after celebrating a goal she had scored.
It closes with a tag line reading: “If there were landmines here, would you stand for them anywhere? Help the U.N. eradicate landmines everywhere.”

Staples
I remember this one time in college our instructor caught a student stapling cat5 cable to his dorm room wall. He so wanted to hit him, what sort of sick fuck does that to a poor cable? use a ziptie+cables, or get decent clips from radioshack.. but fucking staples? What sort of suckass sick bitch does that to a poor innocent cable? It’s just wrong, on so many levels. No skill having coke-heads.
It’s insulting to me as a person who isn’t as stupid as that person. Speaking of which, I migrated the site to a new host with 0 downtime, look at me, I gots skillz. Boobs who have downtime during migrations should get some skills.

Son of Talon
I left a box behind at IK that I missed, after hearing that its no longer in production due to massive hardware failure (due to lack of tender love and care no doubt), I decided to built its twin here.

Luna and Snow
Luna is sitting on the window sil of the living room picture window watching the snow fall, I’ve never thought of it before, but everytime it snows, that kitty is in the window. She must love it, all that movement. She’s definitely a hunter. I can just imagine what she’s going to be like this spring, its going to be so damn funny.

Voodoo knife rack in shape of a person
This “voodoo” knife rack, which depicts a human form pierced by your knife collection in many strategic locations, is the best kitchen thinggy I’ve ever seen. They should make custom head-shaped ones with the face of your choice, so you can start your day by stabbing your least favorite person in the world in the face repeatedly as you make breakfast.

Canada gives up sovereignty to USA
Days ago, Our new ambassador to the US said that Canada was already part of the controversial US Missile Defence plan. Today Prime Minister Paul Martin finally stopped dithering and declared that we would not join the controversial program. The American ambassador to Canada is confused by this… confused that we would choose to relinquish it’s sovereignty to the US.
For that matter, so am I..

Rogers is for suckers
I’ve decided that with the recent changes to my rogers setup, I’m so ditching them. They sold me on this ‘Rogers Xtreme!’ service, which meant I got a 5mbit line vs the standard 3mbit line. Then 6 months later (ie, now) they lock bandwidth useage accross the boards at 60 gigs per month?
So I’m moving my websites to a seperate host that loves me and rocks, and i’m switching ISP’s to NBTel. I’ve heard rumours that Telus was coming this way, I hope so. This whole ‘2 ISPs’ thing really blows.
Found some of my old posts about how much I hate rogers, looks like this was the last straw.
The 100$ I dished out for the new modem is non-refundable. That’s so fucking stupid. Oh, and the best part of the whole stupid thing is, that if I stayed with rogers and violated their rules, i’d be banned for a year from using their service, read more here.

They have a Plan
Rather unusually, the Sci-Fi channel have made the entire first episode of their new Battlestar Galactica show available online, uncut and without commercials, for free (Real format, not bad video quality). While the series is still being aired in the US and Australia, the first episode has now been shown in all markets and the Sci-Fi channel may be trying to figure out if making the ep available online could improve ratings.
Their decision may have been aided by the fact that the show was aired in the UK two months before the US, resulting in an awful lot of US fans downloading the show; normally it’s the other way around.

Ad for security glass uses real money
According to a website I read a lot, the money sandwiched between the shatter proof glass in this bus stop ad is real.
It’s in downtown Vancouver and the top layers of money are actual Canadian $20 bills and the rest are fake, like the ones in movies. There’s still a hefty chunk of cash in the ad and the bus shelter is actually monitored by video by the ad agency (which is conveniently located across the street).

Building an ice tower in Alaska
The Alaska Alpine Club in Fairbanks decided to build a 132 foot tall ice tower. They used a rotating nozzle that sprayed water, making a kind of giant, upside down icicle. The pictures of the tower are neat, but I was even more impressed with the photos of the home made nozzles they used to make the tower.

Spazzstick caffeinated lip balm
Spazzstick is a high quality lip balm that contains caffeine, which absorbs directly through your lips as you use it. It was developed by an Alaskan Police Officer, who needs both quality lip balm for the cold and the ability to stay awake during long shifts. Spazzstick is made in a beautiful little Eskimo Village called Kaktovik, AK, by the inventor of Spazzstick and his hoards of worker trolls in a vast underground volcano lair.

Whirled peas
.We bit off more than we could chew.” When thirty-five Greenpeace protestors raided London’s International Petroleum Exchange to mark the first day of the Kyoto protocol coming into effect, the last thing they expected was a lesson in the finer points of beatdown administration at the hands of drunken oil traders.
"One protestor said: ‘I took on a Texan Swat team at Esso last year and they were angels compared with this lot.. Behind him, on the balcony of the pub opposite the IPE, a bleary-eyed trader, pint in hand, yelled: ‘Sod off, Swampy.’"
Hah, wussie hippies, eat your wheaties.
