Buzz Dumpage: Ugly Beer Edition

*The Georgia Straight is such a mess of a paper, it is almost worth checking out. But I really don't get this invasion of crazy white trash cheap beers in their alternative weekly pages. The ugly beer invasion seems to be on like Donkey Kong - with Pabst Blue Ribbon and Old Milwaukee undercutting the local beers. All things to the folks at Sleemans who have unleashed this onto us all. Thanks for nothing. I guess it was better than the ads for Lululemon's obnoxious "Om Quest" yogo video game April Fools joke. I'd rather drink the beer.

*In the Westender last week, Steve Burgess riffs on the opening of Century and the whole Communist Chic thing in "A little Marxism with your entree, sir?" His experience sporting a Mao button in China, "Well, what an awkward social moment. There I was with my pop-culture accessory, and some guy had the bad manners to point out that millions of his fellow Chinese had suffered and died under Mao's misguided rule. How rude." Um, yeah.

*Macaulay Culkin's novel gets the Gawker treatment for misquoting Entertainment Weekly. So Cute.

*If you are an ad junky like me this is way cool. There is going to be a show called Mad Men - about a fictional ad agency called Sterling Cooper set in the 1960's. Love it. Bonus for Sopranos writer being the creater.

*I know a certain friend of mine who will love the idea of a 3-day test drive of an Opel. "Sex Change", "Wife", and "Penguin" all pretty much do the trick.
