Jay and Silent Bob coming to Degrassi

Jay and Silent Bob are coming to the Canadian cult TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation!
“It’s like When Worlds Collide, y’know? I’m a big fan of things like when Spider-Man and Daredevil meet. I go ape-(bleep) and bust a nut,” said director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy), who is finally getting his chance to take part in the cult series he idolizes by starring in a three-episode arc on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
In a hilarious and profane press conference here yesterday with past and present Degrassi cast, creator Linda Schuyler and her creative team, Smith confirmed that he and pal Jason Mewes (aka “Jay” from Clerks and Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back) will start filming their parts next week through mid-November.
The episodes, which will air early next year, have Kevin Smith playing himself directing the next Jay and Silent Bob movie, “Jay And Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh?” In the fictional film, the slacker duo come to Toronto because they need to get a high school diploma and no school in America will take them.

Great Wired News article about TV B-Gone, a keychain fob that you can use to turn off bothersome TVs in bars, airports, etc.

The device, which looks like an automobile remote, has just one button. When activated, it spends over a minute flashing out 209 different codes to turn off televisions, the most popular brands first.


That personal touch

Phonecam-Porn-Spam ? A woman gets a picture of a sack from a customer service representative, then the customer service representative gets the sack.” Apparently, a telephone help agent from Orange in the UK tested a client’s new cameraphone by sending her photos of his dick. “Of course the real problem,” Carlo points out, “is that nobody looks big on a 2-inch phone screen.”

Bushkilledsuperman.com

Stem cell politics, comic mythology, and the death of Christopher Reeve all collide here.

On a side note, I’m not american, so I have no say in their politics. Meaning, I will not give out my opinion unless asked about their president/president hopefulls.


Grey Day

In case you havn’t seen me lately, I’ve developed a grey patch in my goatee about the size of a large thumb print. The Jennifer loves it and I’m getting used to it. Heh. I’ll take a picture sometime to show it off.


Wither Passport?

Microsoft hasn’t talked much about Passport lately, but Monster.com sent out an email last week saying that they were discontinuing the option to sign in using Passport. And I noticed today that eBay isn’t offering the option to sign in with Passport anymore either. Although the creepy Passport for Kids site is still up and running, and the notice from last March about the Express Purchase service getting killed is still up, but I think the definitive bad sign is that the directory of sites using Passport is gone.

Was there some press release from Microsoft about Passport dying? Did I miss it?


Ads too risque for the clients

A list from the Ad Graveyard of rique print and Web advertisements that were rejected by clients of ad agencies. Some are quite funny, some are shockingly tasteless (“The said it would take three more bullets: The Beatles Reunion”), all are worth a look.

Hey Mom/Dad, check out what I learnt in college!

There were two high school sweethearts who went out together for four years in high school and were both virgins and enjoyed losing their virginity with each other in 10th grade. When they graduated, they wanted to both go to the same college but the girl was accepted to a college on the east coast, and the guy went to the west coast. They agreed to be faithful to each other and spend anytime they could together.
As time went on, the guy would call the girl and she would never be home, and when he wrote, she would take weeks to return her letters. Even when he e-mailed her, she took days to return his messages. Finally, she confessed to him that she wanted to date around. He didn’t take this very well and increased his calls and letters and e-mails trying to win back her love.
Because she became annoyed, and now had a new boyfriend, she wanted to get him off her back. So what she did is this: She took a polaroid picture of her sucking her new boyfriend’s unmentionables and sent it to her old boyfriend with a note reading, “I found a new boyfriend, leave me alone.” Well needless to say, this guy was heartbroken, but even more so, he was pissed. So what he did next was awesome.
He wrote on the back of the photo the following: “Dear Mom and Dad, having a great time at college, please send more money!” and then mailed the picture to her parents.


Here Chicken Chicken Chicken !

So I love my diet, it allows to eat all this food that I love, and still loose weight. It rocks I’m at my desired weight now, after gaining some musscle weight back, 193.
I just ate a chicken, I love chicken. Jenn was all blown away the first time she saw me eat a full chicken one day, since then its still been pretty amusing to her. Funny thing is, when it comes to other fods that aren’t on my diet, like chinese food, I can’t much of them without getting full.
We went to Chan’s house here in Moncton a while back, for Jenns sisters birthday. It’s a buffet, and I’ve been asked to leave certain buffets for abusing the system and eating way more then they had budgeted for a single person. (without gaining weight at the time either). But yeah, I ate 3 plates at chans house, and I was stuffed… I used to be able to eat 10-15 plates without a problem. So that’s good, keeps me from eating that bad stuff. I’m just not hungry for it. The only thing I miss is Sugar. Mmm Sugar.
It’s nice to be loosing weight, who ever said us Nice Guys didn’t win? Sheit. Oh wait, i’m a badass, forgot about that.


Drug-smugglers’ coolest secrets

Microgram Bulletin is the DEA’s publication for tracking the ingenuity of drug smugglers — from hollow, heroin-filled lollipops to heroin formed into machine parts to coke-filled Evian bottles to marijuana-based peanut butter to my personal favorite, this hollowed out biography of Princess Di filled with cocaine.
Dude, I’ve never seen a more thorough glamorization of drug smuggling! It seems the drug lords have an entire army of James Bond Qs laboring in underground labs pumping out Viagra-lookalike Ecstasy and secret-agent hashish chocolate bars.
