The Senselessness of It

I don't often write serious posts. Correction - I occasionally write them but then don't post them.

But this needed to be posted.

Just over a week ago there was a news story out of Hamilton [near Toronto] about a man who was selling his truck on Kajiji, who after getting in his truck to take a couple of interested guys for a test drive, was never seen or heard from again.

That in itself was ridiculous. If they wanted the truck, they should have just stolen it and been done with it.

As days dragged on without any updates, you just started to get that feeling. Because you know [after watching many-a Dateline and 48 Hour specials] that men, unlike women, are almost never held captive.

Well yesterday they found the remains of this poor man. This man who is married and a father of a 2 year old girl who'll never know her daddy.

Because some worthless scum bags wanted a fucking truck.

And then people wonder why I'm so goddamn cynical about life & the world.

Please don't ever ask me that again.

RIP Tim Bosma

Stupid does have more fun!

Ooooooooooh! Before I came up with this title (in 2 seconds flat) i always wondered why i lived with so many regrets. Makes sense now.

I don't usually pay attention to marketing campaigns. My philosophy is that no matter how much money a company wastes spends on their marketing and advertising, it will not make me want to buy their product more. B/c it doesn't create a need. And i have too much common sense for it to create an unnatural want. [Usually.]

But this, i love.

I've seen a few of these in my fashion mags and it really really got me. If you go to this site, you'll see a lot more. No wonder Diesel's 'Be Stupid' won an award!

Speaking of stupid having more fun, I discovered a hilarious video on the lovely Leanna's blog OMG I moved to NYC (GO GIVE HER BLOG LOVE NOW!) about a show called Lake Shore - the Jersey Shore of Toronto. Epic.

Once you watch it, you will wonder why these people are trying so hard to imitate the greatness of Jersey Shore. Sadly, that's them au naturel. What it is, is them trying really hard to "properly" represent their nationality, and avoiding being "too Canadian". This Bulgarian-Canadian is (very rarely) guilty of this as well. I'm pretty foreign & pretty integrated all at the same time - it's a fine line. And if i had an IQ of 5 i'd probably (want to) be on this show too! But alas, i'll leave the (making a fool of oneself on television & the internet) fun to the stupids :)

Top 2 on my list of Scums

"I've never been so scared in life" - retard protester on the news, who wants the cops that assaulted her to be criminally charged. Right - stupid bitch. On top of that, she had purple hair! Who let you use my colour, bitch?? I may hate hate cops, but i also hate hate protesters - equally. No one listens to you anyway, so QUIT getting in the way. I say we send both to a different planet. Together. There they can protest and be violent to their hearts' content. Scum.
