Matt Dances Again!!!!

You may remember me showing you a website some time ago called Where the Hell is Matt?

Matt used to be an up and coming video games dude but one day decided that there was more to life and up and quit his job and travelling South East Asia until the money ran out.

In 2005 he made his first video of his famous 'dancing' and the rest is pretty much history.

In 2006 he garnered a key sponsor, Stride Gum, that helped him continue the dancing and the world was treated to his second video.


Now in 2008, the most recent video has just come out and has some of the most awesome footage yet. Check it out... guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

Stuff White People Like

By now you've probably heard about this blog, but if you haven't... you need to.

It's funny.

So, what do white people like you ask. Well, they like quite a few things. Some highlights include downloading illegal music, living in 'gentrified' areas, recycling, and of course sweaters.

Not too long ago it was announced that SWPL was getting a book deal, well, it's coming out soon, July 1st to be exact. This Random House book is available for pre-order at Amazon.com and I suspect it will be well worth it.

HNIC Themesong Gone from CBC?!

In probably the strangest piece of Candian news for 2008 the CBC was unable to secure the ongoing rights to the Hockey Night in CAnada theme song. WHAT?!

Yeah, Canada's 2nd National Anthem will no longer be forever entwined with families gathered in front of the television on Saturday night cheering on their favourite teams, watching Ron MacLean and Don Cherry bicker, and singing along to the theme song because somehow CBC was not able to retain the rights.

Crazier yet, once it appeared that the CBC was not going to find a resolution CTV scooped in and not only bought the rights to the song but purchased the entire tune for a reported $2.5M! It's a bit shocking, but... this means that we'll now be able to hear the anthem on TSN, RDS, and even CTV. The song will probably be played whenever Canadian teams are playing hockey on television including the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and beyond.

Here's Stephen Colbert's take on the situation:


DARN... Viacom took down the Cobert beauty... maybe if you search long and hard you can find it.
