More proof the Westboro Baptist Church are scum.
Westboro Baptist church to protest at funeral of Tim McLeanTim McLean was the young man stabbed to death on a greyhound last week, and then decpaitated by his assailant. The nutcases claim he deserved his death, as he lived an ungodless life 'like all Canadians'. Like everyone except themselves ( Read more... ) -
The happy stuff
The main reason I was prompted about Kenny Richey though was looking back to see if I made a post a year ago about it being a year since I had flown out of the UK to go on my short Canadian holiday ( Read more... ) -
The sad stuff.
I was going to right a nice happy post to break the monotony of news comments about death and murder.
But first, after checking back a year, I realised I hadn't seen what had happened to Kenny Richey since his release after 21 years on death row.
Not good, I'm afraid : The man who can't escape death row. He's unemployed, been in the cells twice ( Read more... ) -

Holy pencils, Batman

This was what going to movies is for. Heath Ledger -was- the Joke and made him less of a cartoon villian and much more of a dark psychopath that suits ( Read more... ) -
Technology, bits keep falling off of me...
My iPod is giving up the ghost. But in a very simple but seemingly unfixable way. Which makes it more irritating. The headphone socket has got a lose connection, meaning I get sound in one ear unless I twiddle the jack into the right position and hold it there. Anyone know a easy way to get into an iPod? Don't fancy buying a new one much for a ( Read more... ) -
Happy Canada Day.
Completely unrelated to Canada (except it apparently depicts the US at war with Canada (along with Alaska...):
Zombie Strippers
(Incredibly bad film trailer starring Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz. Really, if your lead roles are an ex-porn star and UFC fighter, it's hardly going to be Casa-bleeding-blanca. Or even Tremors II). -
Right wing correctness gone mad...
Tyrone Gay is the US's bestest hope for 100m Gold this year.
The American Family Association seems to have a autofilter on their news feeds.
Hilarity ensues.
