         <title>She &amp; Him - In the Sun (2010)</title>

<p>If this fun <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ3cTwI9bIw">She & Him video</a> doesn't make your week 100% more enjoyable I don't know what will. And who ever thought I'd be able to say the phrase Zooey Deschanel and a slow mo hula hoop. But I did! So fun! And <a href="http://music-mix.ew.com/2010/03/09/she-him-in-the-sun-video/">Entertainment weekly describes the video as</a>, "With its classroom choreography, meet-me-by-the-lockers eyes, and gymnasium hula-hooping, the clip is a kind of loopy cross between “Hit Me Baby One More Time,” Bye Bye Birdie, and a Gap ad, with opaque tights"</p>]]></description>

         <title>Gregor Robertson Should Read this about Green Jobs</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<div class="image-center"><img alt="Green-jobs.jpg" src="http://www.thevancouverite.com/pictures/Green-jobs.jpg" width="425" height="335" /><br /></div>

<p>Mayor Gregor Robertson better not hear about this view of Green Jobs from <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/03/the-jobs-are-always-greener/37348/">The Atlantic's Megan McArdle</a>:</p>

<blockquote>"But green jobs have become the ginseng of progressive politics: a sort of broad-spectrum snake oil that cures whatever happens to ail you.  They are the antidote to economic malaise, an underskilled labor force, the inherent unwillingness of the public to suffer any significant economic and personal dislocation in order to save the environment.  They enhance nationalistic vigor. (If we don't act now, the Chinese will steal all of our green jobs!)  They stave off aging of stale political platforms.  And I'm pretty sure they're good for bunions, too."</blockquote>

<p>But he should open up his little green head and give it a shake.</p>]]></description>

         <title>How to sell magazines</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<div class="image-center"><img alt="esquire-feb-1964.jpg" src="http://www.thevancouverite.com/pictures/esquire-feb-1964.jpg" width="425" height="544" /><br /></div>

<p>If magazines and newspapers would spend just a little bit more time coming up with genius content and hooks that are gobsmackingly awesome like this 1964 Esquire cover, they wouldn't have to chase after John Blogger and Jane Twitter. Hey wait, but I'm a blogger! Well, a lazy blogger anyway. And lazy though I am, this cover is exactly how you move magazines on dead tree or the iPad, big time.

<p>Sometimes it is good to be reminded of the power of the Internet. A two-year old and perfectly edited video of Kuato singing Chocolate Rain is one of those times. Posting will now return to it's regularly scheduled half-assedness.  </p>]]></description>

<p>Thank god. It's not good when Own the Podium is being bailed out by sequined ice dancers. But thank god it was. Especially if our new gold medal overlord Tessa Virtue looks like the <a href="http://twitter.com/keithlaw/statuses/9511516086">long lost hot Deschanel sister</a>.

<p>PS: The Olympic Mascot daily ice dance show at Robson Square looks absolutely terrifying. </p>

<p>One of two bright spots for CTV's dreadful Olympic coverage is the adorable MTV transplant <a href="http://www.sharpformen.com/content/gallery.php?gallery=29">Aliya-Jasmine Sovani seen here in Sharp Magazine</a>. The other one? The intern they have waiting in line. </p>]]></description>

<p>Good thing that leprosy is curable now. Cause given how they've been unable to free the torch, I'm not sure VANOC could figure out how to deal with this. Close call. Hilarious headline.

<p>I assume after <a href="http://www.globaltvbc.com/Olympic+Line+Streetcar+shut+down+after+crash/2589015/story.html">this crash</a> that we can close the book on us wanting to bring back street cars when the games are done.
