It’s no West Side Story zombie remix, but ROTS rejiggered into a gay love story is pretty damned funny.

It hasn’t always been caviar baths and firings for His Donaldness. Journey into the past, as we discover Senor Trump’s brushes with bankruptcy and his abortive run for the presidency (which was a new one on me.)

I know what you’re saying…the Norwegians are the scum of the earth, how could they possibly have produced anyone worth admiring? But it’s true, one of their number has crawled out of the Scandinavian genetic muck to be counted amongst us humans. 🙂

Anyway, blond blue eyed racism aside, DVD Jon has been profiled by the Wall Street Journal. He’s the kid who cracked DVD protection, then went on to strip Apple’s DRM out of iTunes songs. I think we should elect him to public office. 🙂

I’m not one for the sports games, but I understand the frustration of gamers who see no choice but to shell out hard earned dough for the same game, year after year. This fine fellow has decided to auction off his copy of Madden football on eBay, all while spewing some hilarious vitriol about the game.

After a couple of months of nonsensical bickering, the CBC is finally back on track. Even though I’ve been pretty good at ignoring MotherCorp’s existence for the last little while, it is nice to see the usual crew back in their seats on Newsworld. I haven’t yet tuned into CBC Radio, but I imagine the weekend will once again be tolerable with the dulcet tones of Michael Enright letting me know what’s what. Now if only they’d get more podcasts out the door….
