  1. Well its a different take on comic book people, that's a draw for me. Although comic book movies have been moving in that direction, isolation of the hero, like he's doing a job that he despises wishing he was something different, uses his 'emo' for something else.

  2. It's true. As far as nightlife goes, you're looking at the York University bars or a strip club on Chesswood. Other than that, the nightlife is nonexistent.

    I will say that "Jane and Finch area" has slowly been expanded by the news media, looking to draw viewers in. Hell, if a shooting happens across town they try to link it to Jane and Finch.

    Basically, it's not as bad as you're led to believe, but it's not as good as you wish it could be.

    And it's still boring.

    St. Louis is like that in the media, if somebody is shot its always 'North County' or 'North City' or East St. Louis (when they could be talking about outlying areas) denoting race usually. Although I swear nobody lives in North St. Louis anymore. Its so bad, its good. LOL

  3. I have to say, that one is much better. The other one is kinda creepy, especially given how some people were interpreting it.

    But how is it creepy? Everybody would know that's de Gaulle as the shadow. The hat, The hat. lol

    the hat, big ears and giant huge enormous nose. lol

    Here's another anti-Guallist poster again big nose, hat and ears

  4. Canadian Housing market hasn't been affected by the U.S. crisis as per MLS statistics.

    Fact is though : suburbs market will start to cool down because of fuel price... so expect Montreal (and other big "centre of universe" cities) to keep on rocking it.

    Abbotsford in the cross hairs... The cows revenge.

  5. The politics in this thread stop now.

    Uhm did you not watch PTI, Around the Horn, Jim Rome, Sportscenter. They all said the same thing over and over again. Americans aren't interested because Americans aren't in it. Another great example, my local station cut the match at the 5th set to go to a baseball game. No apology and then said, 'well nobody was watching anyway'.

  6. I guess they want baseball to be the last professional league to have played there. It's an impressive legacy, and I can't say that I'm surprised they went that way. It should be known for baseball... nothing else.

    It's got a huge history that goes beyond just baseball. It was the home of the football Giants for 20 years, numerous famous NCAA football games, then boxing, Joe Lewis haunts that place just as much as Ruth.

  7. Nadal played an awesome game, but come on people Federer had 52 unforced errors. All those base lines that were uncharacteristically wide. Either he's in a funk, which is what I think it is. Or he's the Bjorn Borg of our generation and is so great, he's just spent.

    I think its more of A and not B here. Federer still hasn't won the French and the only person who can most likely beat Nadal on clay is Federer. Golf wishes it had a rivalry like this in Tennis. Then again Americans still won't watch, because of xenophobia and jinogism. Its got to be an American at number 1 for Americans to care. Yeah Americans all remember Borg because we had Connors and Mac, Americans cannot defend my train of thought here, its the truth. If Tiger Woods was Canadian, French or Swedish, we wouldn't give a shit.

    Also, its not a black-white issue, as my dad thinks Tennis needs a Tiger Woods for Americans (he doesn't know about James Blake). If this were the case, everyone in the U.S. would be going nuts over Lewis Hamilton, but nobody cares because he's British. This is the sad truth its pathetic. Oh we all became Tour de France fans when Lance was winning, now who cares? Nobody. We fickle band of nationalists, only rooting if they were born in the U.S., yet we wonder why the world thinks we're so narrow minded. Its our culture I guess. Our culture of narrow minded thinking, the culture of Me and the culture of America first.
