Extra, Extra: How Not To Pick A Ford, How To Age Semi-Gracefully, and How Little Gawker Knows
Every weekday’s end, Extra, Extra collects just about everything you ought to care about or ought not miss.
- On Spacing: “Why I voted for Rob Ford,” in which Rick McGinnis uses a carapace of pretty words to inadequately criticize a man’s poor ideas, and then says that “history is full of poor ideas given inadequate criticism thanks to a carapace of pretty words.” Then again, Rob Ford is very good at penny-pinching except no he is not at all.
- The CBC has a new logo, sort of.
- Tao Lin, interviewed by Chandler Levack. A ten thousand–word transcript. Good luck.
- NOW wishes the Saw series of horror porn movies would stop killing Toronto actors.
- And Gawker recommends moving to Toronto “when the Tea Party takes over America,” because “Toronto is the biggest city up there, an ethnically diverse hub of sorts, and, not for nothing, is pretty darn close to the US. Plus, Degrassi!” If they only knew.
