Two things you can always count on the Toronto Sun to provide: great headlines and hyperbole. It’s hard to take any article seriously when the writer refers to “untold tens of thousands” of people, and then goes on to, well, tell us exactly how many tens of thousands (a mere seven and a half) in the very next sentence. And what great disaster has befallen these newly-told masses? Hurricane? Fire? Terrorism? No, it’s much worse: they don’t have new garbage cans. The horror!

Awesome headline, though.

It looks like someone in rural northeastern Pickering has had enough of idiots treating this vacant lot like their own private dumb and has chosen to combat the problem by posting this notice at the entrance. And who can blame the poor owner? No one wants to visit their plot of land only to discover that they’ve been dumbed on again. Do you have any idea how much it costs to clean up after that kind of stupidity?

I’m happy to see that the l(o)oser who sat behind me in Grade 12 English class got a job as a copy writer. I always knew that he’d make his mark on the world in some way.

How exactly does such a glaring mistake make it through all of the design and approval stages that must be required before an ad like this is even printed? Interestingly, they managed to spell it right on their web site, though they manage to misspell one of their company names (”Wed Direct Solutions”) in the footer on all of their sites. Quality all around.

It looks like some wag scratched off part of this GoodLife Fitness sign in the Skywalk. What goes on in the lover level of a fitness club? And how do I get there?
