Vancouver Papers: Fakes, Nonis, Weeds

24 Hours has a pretty amazing double shot on the cover. While trying to wring the last droplets of news out of the man seems to have not had anything to do with the Jonbenet Ramsey case but has a local connection. Of course that is places beside the story about the Gastown gallery that sells famous reproductions. See, it's a very subtle commentary on the art of the fake. So clever 24 Hours. So clever.

The Sun gleefully reports that the feds and Victoria are ponying up another $110 million for the Olympics and that Prime Minister Harper and Premier Gordon Campbell will milk every penny of that starting with a press conference today. Can you feel the excitement? Pretty sure this article about Dave Nonis and the Canucks says that all his ideas were stolen from Radio Talk Show Call In listeners.

The Province could have probably just reprinted yesterday's paper. It's that useless today. It looks like they wanted to have the cover story on the tv Show Weeds, but had to go with the bleeding lede instead. Meanwhile they could have had more fun with the news that Travel + Leisure magazine listed Vancouver in its top ten hot destinations while Toronto was unlisted. Vancouver listed as No. 6 behind New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Charleston and Santa Fe.

Vancouver Metro ads for the L Word, the actress's mostly are heterosexual woman in that series portraying lesbians. Many are glamorous which gives a false impression all lesbians are glamorous which in reality is not true. Basicly it's a pro portrayal of lesbians. Oh while thats fictional TV land.
