What to do with all this snow TO has been getting? Build a Igloo on a TTC shelter. The TTC shelter at Queen and Strachan with snow. Its more like a snow fort but it has the Igloo feel to it. Click link for Blogto.com post.

A film buff tells a friend that he’s finally broken “the code” – the mystery behind the character & story threads that bleed from one Quentin Tarantino movie or screenplay into the next. His friend is less than impressed. Starring Seu Jorge (The Life Aquatic) and Selton Mello (Tarja Preta). A short film by Brazilian directing duo 300ml. Note: The video is spoken in Portuguese with english subtitles.

Looks like someone forgot the snow tires.

Yes its snowing in Toronto. Every time it snows here, the whole city FREAKS out! Today we are expecting anywhere from 10 to 20 cm’s. Photo shot outside my office window. (looking north on Yonge St., just north of St. Clair Ave)

Save me!

Save me!

The Chicago Tribune has a great set of scared of Santa pictures. Who hasn’t freaked out while sitting on jolly old Saint Nick’s lap. (click image for link)

Ever since the Wii first came out, there have been countless pictures showing the horror of Wii remotes smashing into flat panel televisions. Nintendo even went so far as upgrading the wrist strap to cope with a lot of irate Wii owners.

So far there have only been pictures of the aftermath of Wii vs TV violence… Until now!

I think the saddest part of this video is the fact that he bumps the TV a few times thinking it will solve the problem. Someone should have showed him what the wrist strap was for!

You may not make any Kessel run records, but you’ll defiantly be the coolest 28 year old on the hills this winter. The sled is avalible on Amazon.com only… even though us Canadians invented sledding (The first Mounties were mounted on sleds).

It looks like the people of Iraq don’t really like George W.Bush. Go Figure?!?!

During a press conference, an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at Mr. Bush (Throwing shoes at somebody is a supreme insult in the Middle East.) and he very nonchalantly dodged both of them.

After the incident, Bush comented that “All I can report is it is a size 10,”. As always Bush gets the last laugh!

Its been a few years since i first saw this video. Seeing as it is so close to Christmas, figured i would share my favorite Chris Christmas Rodriguez video. Chris Christmas Rodriguez was a viral campaign done by London agency Mother and directed by Argentine directing combo Peluca . I voted for Mr. Rodriguez many times… have you?

Google Chris Christmas Rodriguez for more videos.

The name Spencer Elden may not mean “jack” to you but a picture taken of him when he was 4 months old may be somewhere in your house. Spencer, now 17, is the baby in Nirvana’s Nevermind album cover.

Looks like "Big Brother" does want me to post the Nevermind album cover.

For a flat fee of $200, photographer Kirk Weddle, asked friends Renata and Rick Elden if their son Spencer could be photographed underwater. They agreed and the rest is history. The hook line and dollar bill were photoshoped in later.

Rumor has it that After seeing the photo, Kurt Cobain (Nirvana’s lead singer) and his wife Courtney Love agreed that they would take Spencer out to dinner when he got older. However, this never happened due to Cobain’s death in 1994.

In 2008, 17 years after the album was released, Spencer took another dip in the pool and recreated his iconic pose. I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a few more pool shot of him in the future.
