Extreme - More than Words (1990)

I'd forgotten how awesome the ballads of the early 90's were. This video helped bring it all back and was also, kind of, on the Forgetting Sarah Marshall Soundtrack albeit performed by the band, "Aloha Sex Juice."

Greatly Overblown Quote of the day: We All Hockey

In response to the Canadian Junior Hockey victory Stephen Taylor writes:

"We’re a nation bound by our love of hockey."

It's a little much, non? I mean yeah, at its high point 4.7 million people were watching - a total of 9.3 million watched some of it - about 30% of the population. I'm not that good at math but that means an astonishing 70% of Canada couldn't give a damn about the gold medal game, or hocket at all okay.

Quotes of the Day: Mac Stuff, Open Letters to Hamas, & More

Check out some of the best thoughts from around the internets today:

"Anyone see the new Mac stuff?More 3D maps in my videos! Finally." - Jimmy Fallon.

"Dear Hamas, (and most of the rest of the Arab world), What are you thinking? You cannot still be calling for the destruction of Israel. Seriously, it is not gonna happen. Let's just forget the infidelish, anti-Semitism of it all and concentrate on your Blagojevichian arrogance. Do you really think you can accomplish what the Germans could not? Germans? The people who built special camps dedicated to eradicating Jews from the face of the Earth. The master race who, for four straight years, killed every Jew that wasn't hidden by Oskar Schindler? You really think you can outdo the Germans?" - 23/6.

"Wow, this guy is a jerk. Here, in this exclusive CNN report on some old public-teevee food show in Chicago, we see that Barack Obama was being a fancy show-off even way back when he was a lowly state senator a few months ago. This restaurant-review episode never aired because Smooth Barry just shamed these poor slobs, who no longer had the will to talk, or even live." - Wonkette.

Yes! Lets Clearcut the underwater forests!

I wonder what Suzuki and Gore think of this. "Triton Logging is a company that specializes in lumber processing, and they've got a giant underwater saw robot that can clearcut submerged trees - by remote control, from a desktop computer." Sounds awesome! Lets do it. And way to go BC for coming up with this bad boy. I want one. [Io9]

Snap Judgement: Being Erica

Sometimes I wonder why the CBC tries to put original shows on the air. Being Erica is one of those things. Snap thoughts:

1. I give tonight's new victim, Being Erica about 6 weeks before they pull it.
2. It's like a bad Quantum Leap. That was sci-fi. This is the Most pathetic reason for time travel, ever
3. No, it's more like the Ex List but with time travel. Not good.
4. The star is cute enough, Erin Karpluk, she was on Godiva's.
5. The commercials for tomorrow's new show "Wild Roses" - described as “a Shakespearean tale of two families clashing over land, love and loyalty set against the backdrop of boomtown Calgary, Alberta, and surrounding ranchlands.” (Oh dear god).
6. Give the music in the show a pass - lots of good tracks.
