Does this make anyone else laugh?

Generous
Looks like Richard Ouzounian is feeling Generous. A good article up until he mentions the Liver Thing. Bastard.
He mentions Dear Mr Newton, too (see last post). Weiiiiiird.
Yet Another for Rick Mercer
Back in the 80s, my actor brother tanked at an audition for the Shaw Festival and in his dispair, he wrote to Christopher Newton almost a letter a week for a year. Well not quite a letter-a-week, but he did adapt his letters into a great chapbook detailing the year in a life of a struggling actor as he wades through audtions and low-paid jobs. If you email him, he might have a copy around somewhere.
In the same vein, I’ve started to send commercial spoof ideas to Rick Mercer. He’s responded in the past saying according to his lawyers, he can’t use them (or was he being polite and doesn’t like them?) and commented on the antics in my gallery. Here’s another scene I’ve sent to him:
Scene: Outdoors, a city park seen from a static camera, overlooking a somewhat busy walkway. An “actor” dressed in city worker’s uniform comes into frame and holds a shovel up. Jokingly, he swings the shovel in the air like it was the world series. He winks knowingly at the camera, suggesting something good is going to happen.
Scene: Goofy, loopy cartoonish music plays as we see the same park at a slightly longer shot. We can see that there are people walking past the Actor as he digs a hole next to the sidewalk. A man passes him and the Actor lets fly with the shovel blade to the back of the Pedestrian’s head. Whack. The Pedestrian stumbles and falls. He gets up holding the back of his head and starts to verbally abuse the Actor but we don’t hear what he says due to the loopy music. The Actor drops the shovel and with balled fists, nails the Pedestrian square in the nose. The Pedestrian goes down and struggles to get back up, angrily protesting as he rises. The Actor kidney punches the Pedestrian and he goes down again.
After a few good shots, the Pedestrian comes back into frame with a bloodied nose, puffy eye, etc. He’s a mess. As the Actor hauls back to land another blow, the Pedestiran holds up his hands in fear. The Actor stops and starts to laugh. Jovially, he takes the Pedestrian by the shoulder and points out the hidden camera there… there… and there.

Oh Rick, can’t you see that I am aching here? Please put me on your payroll!
“Animal World Takes Revenge”
Germaine Greer cheers as Australia mourns. I somewhat side with Ms Geer, I never liked Steve Irwin’s “in your maw” style of animal presentation.
But that is one sorry way to go.
I’m no expert on stingrays, but I did witness all manner of provocation while diving at “Stingray City” with 200++ other people on a sand barge off the Cayman Islands. I suspect the ‘rays there were tamed to being fed and handled and even stepped on by chubby tourists, as opposed to out in the open Great Barrier Reef. Plus it sounds like the stingray’s hit was a fluke.
Big Red Hummer
“Is that everything?”
“No.” (pause. snickering) “Throw in a big red Hummer! BAHAHAHA!!”
Tire squealing blasted over her earphones as the dark blue Neon roared past her drive through window. Alicia muted her headset microphone. She had been working at this crappy job all of one week now and was tired of these ignoramouses making lame sex jokes as she served up this artery-clogging garbage.
One week to university, she thought.
She wanted to say: “Listen you fat fucks, get out of the drive-in line and go bother the skanks at Wendys!” but instead she went into her welcoming spiel for the next car.
I’m the Internet

Hooky video for net neutrality (which by the way, sounds like something Rogers is aching to abolish) using some meme-famous online celebs. I know pretty much all but I missed out on Leslie Hall, the big lady with the librarian glasses.
YouTube posting
I’m not too convinced that posting stuff from YouTube directly to my blog is such a good idea. I sort of think it’s whole product model is shakey Web 2.0 second bubble burst and when it does collapse, I’ll be left with more holes in my blog than Butchie’s underwear.
But with that said, I give you Robocat:
Yeah Bitches!!!

This Just In…
Thousands of hours of comedy tape negated within 24 hours. Personally, I think the hell the Ramsey family have endured all these years (the comedy skits, the nosey newsies, the Geraldo Riveras gushing about speculative killers on their front lawn) is justified for the exploitation they placed upon JonBenet. All these pagent parents should not be surprised when their child, who usually have more make up on than Tammy Faye trying samples at a discount makeup barn, is targeted by weirdos.
Shops at Canadian airports are closing due to poor sales. Stricter security rules are blamed. Huh? I thought it was because people were finally getting wise to paying $12 for a 4 day old bagel. Argh! My savings of $4 on a magnum of Absolut is stymied! The terrorists have won!
Steve finally is associated with The AIDS conference. Sources close to the Prime Minister have been quoted as saying “There’s a what going on where?” Conference organizers were hopeful that Steve would be making a last moment arrival to the gathering.
…who knows, maybe he’ll choose to come here himself and make a fabulous announcement before the end of our meeting…
