Dose Takes On 24 Hours & Metro While they Sleep

Okay, is anybody really working in this city this week? this place is dead, anyways. You know those things you think you really hate, but then when they are gone, you miss them? Well, this isn't anything like this, but what in the hell are all the newsies doing this week, because there is an insane Christmas-to-Kwanza free daily newspaper cease fire going on down right now? You kinda get used to dodging with glee 20 times a day the "Good Morning, Metro News..." So what gives? They did publish Monday, we think, and then, who knows, they may just be sitting in those boxes, but you don't have to dare go in there, do you? But wait...

Meanwhile, how much of a goldmine do you think the blogs over at the Dose Free Daily website will be? I mean, there is one called Mullet Pony. And It seems to be nearly mullet link free - what a tease. Actually they look like they collectively post less than I do. How slacker cool is that. Gosh. Oh CanWest, will you ever figure out this "interweb" thingy everyone is talking about? (Maybe they'll be like News Corp and buy up something like MySpace, and turn it into something totally uncool and, well, not MySpace.)

At least Dose is publishing and updating their website. MetroNews (at least they own it and just say, hey don't worry about it, we'll be back on Jan 3rd, if you even care.) and 24 Hours are not. CanWest thinks it is so crafty making this paper seem like your pot smoking college buddies put it together, but it's not that way at all is it, CanWest. We're on to you damn it!
