Charity Forced to Pay Copyright Fee So Kids Can Sing Carols | TorrentFreak
I won’t even try to say anything clever about this. Fuck them all! Fuck the idiot inspector, fuck his boss, fuck everyone who touched the paperwork involved in this case. I hope they all get gang-raped by a pack of Wii hoarders for the rest of eternity.

Optimus Maximus in minimus sub-$1000 configurations - Engadget
We live in a fake world. Fake people, fake careers, fake tits and fake money. Well if you’re the kind of fake person that likes a fake computer, here’s your keyboard: the Optimus Maximus, by Art Lebedev (aka the “geniuses” who got paid to draw a heart on a microwave).
For those of you who just got off the boat, this keyboard’s claim to fame is that each key has its own mini color OLED display, so you can put little icons and animations on them. It’s real purty!… Read the rest of this entry »

$620M for Quebec manufacturers hit by loonie rise
If you’re too lazy to read, the Liberal government is issuing tax cuts and other beneficial adjustments to help struggling Quebec manufacturers whose business has been negatively affected by the rising value of the Canadian dollar. Real cute.
While all of us consumers are enjoying the strong dollar (at least in theory, because importers are mostly pocketing the exchange), these factories are suffering. Why are they suffering ? Maybe because they rely too much on exports; if their income were coming primarily from within Canada, they would be somewhat… Read the rest of this entry »

Canada failing its obligations to children: UNICEF
Apparently we’re a bad nation for kids. More accurately, we’re as bad today as we were a generation ago. Here’s a priceless excerpt from the article:
- About one in six Canadian children live in poverty, a number unchanged in a generation.
- A child obesity rate of 26 per cent — one of the highest rates of obesity among children in developed countries.
- Infant mortality rates at five deaths per 1,000, a figure unchanged in five years.
- Canada has one of the highest rates of children in state care and in youth detention centres compared

CQ Politics | FBI Hoped to Follow Falafel Trail to Iranian Terrorists Here
Fee Fi Fo Figger… As if the collective society of US law enforcement and security agencies weren’t already the biggest asses on the beachball, they’ve done yet another thing to remind everyone how ignorant they truly are.
I don’t know how else to say this, but the FBI is trying to track down terrorists by observing what kind of food they charge to their credit cards. I guess my “5 shawarma platters per week” diet makes me Osama Bin Canada! I guess that means the… Read the rest of this entry »

Energy giant rages against plan to hike Alberta royalties
Energy cartels are trying to coax the Government of Alberta into not hiking royalty rates on gas and oil. For those of you just tuning in, that’s essentially a tax on oil, only it’s collected from the producer rather than the consumer.
To the cartels I say: pay the royalty or find somewhere else to dig! Surely there are plenty of oil-rich countries that would gladly let you rape and pillage their soil for free, to support your profiteering ways… they must be all lined up in front… Read the rest of this entry »

Apple cuts 8GB iPhone price to $399 - Engadget
And people are pissed off about it! And I’m pissed off at these people!
The same brainwashed idiots who stood in line two months ago to get a goddamned iPhone are now bitching about the price drop, whining about resale value and how they feel “insulted”. Forums are abuzz with angry socialites who somehow feel entitled to a $200 refund. If it was worth $599 to you back then, why is it suddenly worthless today ?
To me, a person that stands in line for hours to buy an… Read the rest of this entry »

E-Mail Scam Includes Hit-Man Threat - Federal Bureau of Investigation
Have you ever received threats from some rap-blasting oregano-selling sticker-hoarding honda-driving meatbag ? Well now you can get the same thrills without leaving your desk! Death threats by email, from someone you don’t know!
What I find absolutely hilarious is that the FBI is telling people “not to worry about it”. I’m not scared of some douche killing me over the intertubes, but I’d very much like to:
- Sue Mr. Douche for issuing verbal threats, which is not only anti-social, it’s outright illegal!
- Have his lovely pale white

Church of England upset over cathedral’s depiction in Sony game
Ah yes, the Church of England, brainchild of King Henry VIII, one of history’s most outrageously shameful crackheads, right up there with Rasputin and Jerry Falwell.
I’ll keep it quick, so someone please explain to me what the difference is between a gunfight in a church, and a gunfight in any other building ? The way I see it, a cathedral is a place considered holy by only those people who either adhere to the faith or acknowledge its existence. To everyone else, it’s a… Read the rest of this entry »

The article at News.com.com.com.com :P
You’ve got to love California and their Hollywood legal system. A federal judge has ordered TorrentSpy.com to start tracking its visitors’ habits, as part of the discovery process in their suit against the MPAA.
It just keeps getting better and better (and by that I mean WORSE). You see, the MPAA doesn’t even have any proof of copyright infringement. They’re asking the defendant to provide self-incriminating evidence, which is a direct violation of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
This sets one ugly precedent. It’s yet another gross distortion… Read the rest of this entry »
