So I was snooping around FilmBrain's Asian Film blog while looking for a review of Failan when I found a post linking to a spoof on pirating movies from the CBC show Rick Mercer's Monday Report.
I've been browsing the several hours of the "Back Issues" archive of this hilarious political satire from Canadia, eh. Rick Mercer's Monday Report is exactly like the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, only it's Canadian and on Monday.
Rick Mercer's weekly rants are witty, socially critical (especially of Bush and American conservatives) and highly informative. I've never learned so much about the way Canadia works. One of the funniest regular segments are the Celebrity Tips, where Canadian celebrities like Geddy Lee or Pierre Berton give advice on things like tobogganing or rolling a joint (cuz pot is legal in Canadia). The show also features skits that are just as subversively funny as the masters of Canadian sketch comedy, The Kids In The Hall. One of my favorite skits is this one about the "Traditional Family".
This show is yet another reason to move to the Frozen North. Progressive politics, rocking music, and whatever it is in the water that makes Canucks so goddamn funny... Canadia rulez, eh!
(this post was basically just a sad attempt by me to see how many times I could type "Canadia" instead of that other way where the only vowel in Canadia is an "A")

I've spent about an hour looking through all the characters and places that Howard Hallis doodled in The Picture of Everything... Incredibly creative and extremely exhaustive. I was trying to find characters that he hadn't drawn, like Nemo and SpongeBob SquarePants, but to my surprise, I discovered that he had an underwater section that not only had them both, but also Blinky 3-Eyed Fish and Gaz from Invader Zim. I'm like "HOLY CRAP!"
This was today's "Nude Tripp" link of the day, which I check regularly whenever I read Tripp's blog. He always has such great links, but The Picture of Everything really blew me away.
