Further follow-up to a question I asked several weeks ago: "Have you ever wondered how your internet search queries would sound if you had to say them out loud to a real person?"  For your viewing enjoyment, I give you CollegeHumor's "If Google was a Guy - Part 3":

While I’m still working on the third, and therefore final, part of my three-part series discussing the issues and controversies(?) surrounding No Age Statement (NAS) whiskies, it appears that I write better - and faster - when something has irked me…and something has indeed irked me.

A couple of days ago, a Brand Ambassador for an international ( Read more... )

About three weeks ago I absently remarked on Twitter that a head-to-head-to-head tasting of the three 21 year-old Canadian whiskies that I had in my cabinet (Danfield’s Limited Edition 21 year-old; opened), and on my storage shelf (Collingwood 21 year-old and Century Reserve 21 year-old; unopened), would be an interesting endeavour…and things sort ( Read more... )

A bit unorthodox, since it isn't really comedy, but it is still amusing. Back in early/mid July, our informal running team (the United Nations Zombie Emergency Response Task Force [UNZERTF] - 'Run Fast or Die') took on Tough Mudder Montreal for the second year in a row (I couldn't participate last year as a result of the concussion), but this time ( Read more... )

This may be a bit tasteless, considering the weather situation in southern Ontario over the weekend, but I thought it was fitting...so, for your viewing enjoyment, and later my demise at the hands of a pitch-fork and torch wielding mob of angry Torontonians, I give you the Rick Mercer Report's "Special Report on Toronto Snow":

Amid the anger and outrage over Dewar's "The Baron" ad and the (very brief) discussion about why the ad produced for Dewar's international campaign wasn't being used in North America, we lost sight of something equally important: the exploitation and commercialization of art by corporations for the purpose of profit.  This isn't an entirely new ( Read more... )

I'm not even going to pretend that this is for your viewing enjoyment, because it isn't.  What is presented below is an advertisement for Dewar's Scotch Whisky*, which styles itself as the "Drinking Man's Scotch".  The featured ad, which I wish was a parody, is reportedly part of a US-only ad campaign, as Dewar's felt it had to position itself ( Read more... )
