The Boss was in quandary. He had to fire somebody. He had it narrowed down to one of two people, Katie or Jack. It was an impossible decision, they were both super workers. Rather than flip a coin, he decided he would fire the first one who used the water cooler the next morning.
Katie came in the next morning with a horrible hang-over after partying all night. She went straight to the cooler to take an aspirin.
The Boss approached her and said: “Katie, I’ve never done this before, but I have to lay you or Jack off.”
“Could you jack off?” she says. “I really feel like shit this morning.”
Thanks to Billy G for this giggle.

With all of the media attention around protecting children from internet predators the film Hard Candy couldn’t be coming at a better time. Variety is calling this award winning movie “…a film that’s impossible to dismiss”. No doubt. Watch the trailer and decide for yourself. I’m looking forward to it. Perverts beware, this ‘victim’ will kick your ass.
Do you know who your kids are chatting to?
Postscript: There’s a strong Canadian connection here. The female lead, 19 year old Ellen Page, also played the daughter of drunkard Jim Lahey in The Trailer Park Boys.

ICBC is turning to black humour to get those 18 – 21 year olds to quit driving like assholes. I’m not sure if www.nofunbeingdead.ca will achieve anything other than a laugh. Especially fun is the soccer game with a dead guy in goal.
Speaking from extreme asshole driving experience, namely my own at that age, this kind of thing won’t make a dent in the problem. It will not compute with the youthful faux-immortals it is targeted toward.
However, being a lover of zombie films I do appreciate the campaign. Nothing like grave humour to start my day.

Check out Cowabduction.com It’s just what you think. The video on the front page is pretty funny. It’s hard not to feel sorry for the poor farmers.

CBC News: Milosevic found dead in cell
Perhaps the folks who had him on trial are a tad upset. Someone would have found a way to do him in anyway. His health beat everyone else to the punch. Another genocidal egomaniac bites the dust.
NOTE: Deaths usually fall into the Downers and Obits category. Not this one.
