The Making of a Medley

Doctors urged to use tape measure to see if medical advice is necessary due to excess abdominal fat. I'm all for anti-obesity measures, but surely this is counterproductive? Did we really need another reason to dislike going to the doctor for a checkup?
Toronto Star employee buys old laptop on eBay, gets relatively recent Canadian Alliance mailing information. Amusingly, they repeat the figure of $6.48 that Kevin Omura paid as many times as humanly possible. Just to really hammer it home.
Rogers spends $137.5 million for a bunch of CHUM television properties. Most notable on the list are the A-Channel stations (like good old CKVR in Barrie, host to many an episode of Rocket Robin Hood when I was growing up) and SexTV, the theoretically racy digital channel that nobody ever watches.
SUV sales not dropping in the face of higher gas prices and the global warming threat. In other news, prominent economists are being found dead in their homes, apparently suicides as the tearstained notes left next to their bodies read "but the free market was supposed to take care of this sort of thing."
British MP tours Ontario to warn about the dangers of healthcare privatization. It's a good show but it needs an opening act, like maybe Final Fantasy, or a good jazz dancer, or someone interpreting the works of Toho Studios through mime.
And finally, the Jays beat the crap out of the Royals 9-1 in their home opener.

Can I please see ONE MORE "Support Our Troops" sticker on a gas-guzzling SUV? Yes, YES, giveittomebaby! Ignorance...I love it. As long as there are enough idiots who can afford SUV's, they will keep on making them. We all know who these people are and we all know that we can complain about them and point out that they are wasting gas all we want. But You know, I know, we all know, whatever we say about these people and their vehicles...it all falls on deaf ears. They don't care. They don't know. They don't want to care. They don't want to know. They've got the money, it's al about what THEY want, nothing is ever good enough unless it's completely over the top and is better than the neighbors. "But I need 280 horsepower to haul groceries and the kids have soccer practice."
Q:What's the difference between ignorance and arrogance?
A: I don't know and I don't care.
meltdown:complete-Have a Nice Day:- )
Fuck Rogers. Like we needed more media concentration in Canada.
