The Slow Death of Hockey Night in Canada
criticallycanuck:
In the lead up to this past Saturday’s Hockey Night in Canada (HNIC) broadcast, the CBC promoted the Leafs vs. Canadiens and Oilers vs. Flames match-ups as two epic rivalries. Yes, another night of can’t miss viewing from the national broadcaster. Meanwhile, another key Canucks’ game (this time a rematch of last year’s Western Conference final) went ignored.

A Three Part (so far) Profile of Anonymous.... →
It wasn’t until I downloaded and listened to Lulz: A corruption of LOL‘s second album, Corruption, that I grasped what Anonymous really is.

*Having just watched the first episode of the BBC’s Sherlock Series 2, with Irene Adler, my fiancee is now...
