Deer Leap Fail.

This is much cooler than a cat or dog fail. Ass over teakettle. Oh deer.

Bachelorette Jillian Single Again?

Imagine that. The Bachelorette, Vancouver's Jillian Harris, has apparently split with her fiance from the show Ed Swiderski. TV Love fail. Couldn't see this coming at all. I'm like shocked n' stuff.

Fox News + KFC + Secret No bread sandwich = awesome

Can I just say. Thank you Fox News. There is something SO right about this whole story. The anchor. The topic. The breaking news. The tagline. LOVE. And thank you KFC. Well played. And trying to hide this delicious Double Down sandwich in Rhode Island and Nebraska. Shame on you. (Via Streefy)

The Hard Way (1991)

Encore Avenue is playing The Hard Way right now. The 1991 film starring Michael J. Fox and James Woods is about, "An action film star researching a role is allowed to tag along with a hardboiled New York cop, who finds him superficial and irritating." They do not make 'em like this anymore. Genius.

Ebert remarked, "There is nothing very remarkable about "The Hard Way," except for its comic energy, but the energy of this movie is everything, reminding me of the wisecracking, hard-boiled screwball comedies of the 1940s, back when they assumed the audience knew how to listen fast."

Vancouver Sun exposes BC's confusing liquor laws

The Sun goes front page on the confusing, archaic, and knuckle dragging laws of British Columbia. It seems, in BC, a pint is not a pint.

"The federal government insists that anyone who claims to be selling a pint in Canada had better pour a full Imperial pint measuring 20 ounces, or 568.26 millilitres.
The province’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, however, stipulates that individual servings of draft beer cannot exceed 500 millilitres or 17.5 ounces — effectively legislating a legal pint out of existence in B.C."

Not sure what is more stupid, the BC legal system, or us.

Ashey Greene Walks Her Dog, In Vancouver

Enough with the Twilight sightings of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison already. Yes, they are totally doing it.

But here's their costar Ashley Greene walking her dog around town in super large glasses. Is that to hide the shame of those nude pictures from the other week? We can only hope that Ashley and Vanessa Hudgens (also in town recently) took some cell phone photos together.

Coors Light Offends Unfunny Toronto with lame Joke

Coors Light had to pull some ads after their "Colder than most people from Toronto" billboard seemed to, well, offend a couple of Torontonians.

1. Clearly Toronto has no sense of humor. Big surprise there.
2. This ad is not nearly 1/2 as lame as the one under the Cambie bridge that reads "Colder than a souvenir vendor in March 2010". Ha!
3. Clearly Coors Light isn't funny either. At all.
4. And the campaign worked, see, we're talking about it.
5. Coors Light is still no Bud Light Lime.

Vancouver Sword Play?

Not sure what is worse. That there is a sword play - sorry "academy" company in Vancouver, or that I saw this because of their Facebook ad. They were targeting me on Facebook? How embarrassing. For me. Pretty sure the offering of "Youth Swordplay" or "Italian grappling" or "Quarterstaff" is the last thing I'd want to be doing. Although admittedly the falconry does sound pretty dope. Fail.

Love it. Especially Lady J and Baroness playing the clarinet.

Car Free Days 0 - Businesses 1

Nice to see that the Car Free Days on Commercial were shut down nearly a month earlier than planned because business was hurting. Yeah, maybe in a recession the whole hippy no-cars thing is bad for the small business guy. Or that the bus system was screwed. I'm in shock. [Metro News]

Kristen Stewart Back in Vancouver

Rejoice Vancouverites! The Twilight cast is back in town. See more at The Insider. I'm sure the Twihards or Twilighters are literally wetting themselves in Delta or whatever.

Meet Deborah Ann Woll from True Blood

Glad to see my friend at the Bloated Penguin is taking on the True Blood blogging of Jessica, or Debrah Ann Woll. Well played.

HST: Hated Sales Tax

Really? People hate taxes? Who knew. Even the hippies in BC people hate new taxes. Especially on Cactus Club mini-burgers. How could Gordon Campbell not figure that one out? the Province. On a side note, I'm sure that The Province could have done something better with the cover of the paper that this.

And in case anyone is thinking about jumping off the BC Liberal band wagon with the HST, let me remind you that the other choices in the election were the NDP and the GREEN Party. So let's just resolve to the fact that we'll get the money back in a tax cut later, right Gordo?

Quote of the day: It's a real Goop

"Has [Gwenyth Paltrow] even been on the internet before? She probably had her butler type out copies of Goop for years, sticking it under her neighbors' Lamborghini windshields. Like, she thinks that she could charge money for this if she wanted? But the benevolent Queen Paltrow has deigned to offer up her infinite wisdom for free? Gwunbelievable. The first guillotine was invented in 1286 and here we are, standing around like 'if only there was something we could do.'"

Gabe from Videogum seriously takes Gwenyth Paltrow and her "People are so grateful that it's free" website GOOP down. Like down to Chinatown or even further or whatever.

Clearly a highlight from the weekends rainbow celebrations. And it sure is nice to see that old Hedy Fry dressed up as Kang from the Simspon's during the Pride '09 parade. She is so pop-culture savvy. Well played. Somehow Jack Layton failed to come as Kodos - he instead chose what appeared to be an NDP Hockey Jersey and a Cowboy hat? Not cool. (Via Straight)
