So today Jim Flaherty admitted his dislike for EI for out of work Canadians

I was brought up in a certain way. There is no bad job. The only bad job is not having a job. - Flaherty

I like to think the hand with the bling on it is Rob Ford.

NEW Episode of Truth Mashup Radio!

Which Sun News personality said “Brian Burke is riding the coattails of his dead son”? Why does Rob Ford tolerate homophobia? Do young pro-lifers really want to be called the “Survivor Generation”? And why isn’t Stephen Harper supporting our troops?

All that, plus we enroll in the Peter MacKay School of Economics.

On NC banning gay marriage, Colbert like usual, nails it.

SIRI is a TRAITOR! The machines, they’re rebelling against us!!!

“And Siri was never heard from again”…

People forget why people are in the streets of Quebec to begin with!

Infographic: The Student Debt Burden from Graduate Students Everywhere

This is from the “Good Province” you know the one that has it “easy”.

Ha! Amazing! (the idea, not the figures…)

MarketingFAIL: From Tim Hortons “personalize your cup” Facebook app.

Typing in Gay Rights gets “Oops that’s not in the spirit of Tims”.

Dan’s “Fun with Marketing” Class: That “error” message was set up to stop people from typing “Starbucks” and “McDonalds” to create pictures of their competitors but clearly other “dirty” words were set too. Oddly, you can type in Jesus Christ and Christianity. Remember marketing geniuses: Be careful how you censor and aggregate!

p.s. Especially be careful when you’ve had some PR blips in the past with gay rights groups- such as this lovely incedent from 2009.
