- Where to start with this Double Rainbow Guy? He’s an easy target to poke at (no seriously, he’s huge), but halfway through watching the video of him freaking out over sky prisms I stopped laughing and realized something was missing in my life. I’ve never had an experience like that. Well ok I have, a bunch of times, but usually just in my basement with the lights out watching Lost. Also, he totally looks like Hurley from Lost, and I love Lost, and he’s a former cage fighter, and I love cage fighting. WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN? Oh there, I had it! No wait, still in my basement. -jc
- As far as street battles go, none get more vicious, bloody and ultra-violent than when Canada’s literary critics square off. Thank God for the internet though, which keeps these guys off the streets – thus keeping the body counts to a minimal – and keeps them at their desks. If you’re at all interested, it seems to have started with André Alexis’s article in the Walrus, “The Long Decline.” It seems Alexis has also been fighting for his corners (AKA comments sections) as outlined here by David Rusak, also in the Walrus. And if you’re at all interested in this sort of debate/ bloody war of words, then of course there is the critic with the particularly critic-y name of Steven W. Beattie (street name Stevie B), who sounded off here in Maisonneuve. -jk-g
- You know how Zach Galifianakis does that fake talk show, where he acts awkward and pretends to interview celebrities for a larf, nestled between two ferns? The bearded one has taken his gig to the world of print, where in this months Interview magazine he is tasked with going one-on-one with Megan Fox. The resulting transcript is… uh, well, it’s really stupid. But you know, I’m linking to it, so I guess they won after all. Of note: the photo shoot accompanying the interview includes Fox posing with a custom mannequin made to look exactly like her. Worth the price of admission alone. -sy
- Everyone and their mom got caught up by the LeBron James Decision this past Thursday. I know this, because people’s mom’s who know nothing about basketball were casually asking me where I thought LeBron would end up. That’s when you know a sports story has transcended sports. As shocking as the fact Miami will boast a video-game calibre fantasy team next year, the greatest thing to emerge from the night was Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert’s open letter to the team’s fans following Bron-Bron’s announcement. Again: Gilbert is the owner of an NBA franchise. It makes reading his Comic Sans MS, vitriol filled break up letter with LeBron all the more incredible. Even crazier? Most of Cleveland probably agrees with him. -sy
