In what seems more like a horror film premise than real life, a Japanese man recently learned that a woman he had never met before was living in a closet in his house, eating his food and breathing his air for several months.
The 57-year-old unemployed man of Fukuoka in southern Japan noticed food was missing from his fridge, so he set up a camera and caught a woman skulking about his place. She had been living his closet, where she'd set up a mattress and wasn't even paying rent or helping with the housework! Police were called. Arrests were made.
"I didn't have anywhere to live," the woman told police.
Someone call R. Kelly to write a 437-part musical based on this.
A 13-year-old, male middle school student in Framingham, Massachusetts pulled a knife on his teacher in an attempt to steal money to score Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Now that is a hardcore gamer!
It turns out that the boy's mom refused to give him the money, so he came up with this masterful plan B. So, he stayed behind after the other kids had left the classroom, pulled the 11-inch knife and demanded $20. After the teacher refused, the punk lowered his demand to $1. The teacher then took the knife from the student... thereby making this the lamest crime in Grand Theft Auto history.
By the way, I blame this all on his mom for not buying him the game in the first place. Parents, listen to your kids, damn it!
And furthermore, what the hell is this kid doing trying to nab Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas when Grand Theft Auto IV is out?!
I've got one hell of a screwed-up story to feature today. This morning, in the Vancouver area, some naked guy stole a five-ton truck (and overalls) from a farmer and led police on a weird chase, involving a strange series of U-turns.
As "dramatic" as it was, and as many traffic laws he broke, the ending was pretty funny.
The chase was caught on video by Global 1, the traffic helicopter with a cheesy name. To watch the chase, click here.
The best part was when the driver gets hit by a cop car!
To see all of the footage caught by Global 1, click here.
This might be old news, but I'm reporting it here this morning, or tonight, whichever flips your waffle.
Remember when Blockbuster Inc. said it wanted to purchase Circuit City? Well, Circuit City refused to let Blockbuster Inc. look at its books. Now, they're willing to open up to that possibility, after Carl Icahn said that he'd just buy the company himself if the company cannot come up with financing.
The City of Saskatoon, the greatest city in Canada of all-time, is already considering LRT lines in its beautiful, fledging city. A professor at the University of Manitoba named Barry Prentice says it's a good idea.
Then, Neil McKendrick, the City of Calgary's manager of transit planning said that planing now and opening an LRT line within a decade in Saskatoon is a good idea.
That's one hell of a good idea. The City of Calgary started planning it in 1967 when the population was under 400,000. It officially opened in 1981.
Martin Mustapha, a hair-stylist from Windsor, Ontario is a weirdo. In 2001 (I believe), he apparently found a fly in his jug of Culligan water. Well, that's what he says.
Anyway, he sued Culligan for $300,000 or so and won. He was actually awarded $341,000 in 2005 after doctors said he was "depressed."
The Ontario Court of Appeal eventually reversed the decision.
The Supreme Court of Canada also reviewed the case. Out of nine judges, all nine of them essentially told Mr. Mustapha to go to hell.
This is hilarious. Oh no... there's a fly on my food... I'm going to have nightmares now?
Don Atchison, the fat guy in a suit that runs the kick-ass City of Saskatoon wants the railway lines OUT OF THE CITY!
That's right, out of the city. I'd like to have that too, but sometimes, I do miss seeing the train come by. I think he's just pissed after that two-kilometre-long train stalled last September.
He blames the Canadian Pacific Railway for not being able to extend 25th Street all the way to Idylwyld Drive.
Anascape, the company that apparently holds patents on everything a videogame controller can do, has won their case against Nintendo.
Nintendo was sued for using Anascape's patented technology in their GameCube, Wavebird, and Wii Classic controllers. The Wiimote and Nunchuk were safe, however.
Anascape is the same company that sued Microsoft over their controllers, but Microsoft settled with them for an undisclosed sum of money.
Nintendo intends to appeal the decision to get a discount. Too bad there aren't lawsuit coupons.
In what can only be a campaign to be the most annoying and smug group of people in the whole world, a mass of bike riders have taken to one of America's busiest stretches of highway to prove a point.
Last Friday, the "Crimanimals" took the I-10 freeway in Los Angeles buzzing around gridlocked traffic to show that bikes are better. "The freeway is the last stronghold of the car, so when you've got 30 cyclists flying down the lanes, you feel like General Custer, you feel like the good guys," said Alex Cantarero.
Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but...
Roads were built for cars. Paved surfaces were created so that cars would have a way to get around. Bikes do not belong on roads. Bikes sure as hell don't belong on highways. Yeah, you might be able to make time in gridlocked traffic, but that's a function of size and has nothing to do with gas or pollution. Plus, I'd like to see these neoprene-panted fancy-jersey wearing pedal pushers taking to the highway when it's not rush hour. There'd be a fair amount of smears. And by the way, feeling like General Custer is not a good thing, unless you like graduating last in your class, killing thousands of Indians and their horses, and being shot and scalped by Sioux.
Let's be real. Yes, bikes are good for some things and there should be room made on the roads for people who want to pollute less and take way longer to get to their destination. But being a pack of smug law-breaking douche-bags is going to prove nothing and if I happen to see someone cycling on MY FREEWAY (well, the one I use to get home) on my way home, I'm going slow down to 20 km/h on the shoulder behind him/her and just barely let my bumper brush their back tire until it comes to a stop. Then I'm going to lay on the horn for about ten minutes before taking off.
Of course that's just my opinion. I could be wrong?
Wait... there's no chance.
Now, as for motorcycles... those belong on the road. You just have to be careful with them and hope that some moron doesn't kill you with their car, which happened to our friend Jeff Meville.
John Tyler Hammons will soon be the new mayor of Muskogee, OK. This would not be significant except that he is only 19 years old. It's not the result of some election machine malfunction or accidental write-in support. He ran for reels and won a run-off in landslide fashion over someone who is 70 years old and a 3-time previous mayor. Old people obviously suck, until you give them money.
Not only that, but he proclaims himself a gamer, as well as a fan of movies, fast cars, and rock and roll. If you're looking for affiliations he was the president of his high school's Young Republicans Club, but also their Young Democrats Club. But he is a stated Republican and has his eyes on the governorship of Oklahoma, and maybe someday the presidency. Nice work, kid. Now get these politicians off our gaming backs.
The Supreme Court of Canada, the highest court of the land (in Canada), today ruled that giving adult sentences to those aged 12-17 is cruel, and apparently violates their rights.
The decision was based on the idea that youth are "differently accountable" for their crimes. Yeah... that's a fucking load of bullshit.
And out of nine Supreme Court judges, guess how many voted "for" this idea. Five. That's right... one vote makes a hell of a big difference!
This is considered a setback for the Conservative Party of Canada.
Saskatoon, the most kick-ass city in Canada, will soon have a "city within a city" that will take 10 to 15 years to complete, and is known as Rosewood.
The neighbourhood will come with three interchanges and the neighbourhood itself will almost be the size of North Battleford.
However, one of the big challenges is that the land for the new area of town is full of sloughs, which poses major problems at this point.
Well... at least Saskatoon is showing signs of progress!
There are a few constants in this life. Death, taxes, and Playboy. So, when the venerable gentleman's brand loses money, you know there's something seriously wrong with the world. The bunny brand lost several million dollars in the first quarter of 2008, across all its businesses.
Seriously, if the godfather of the sexual revolution begins to lose money, can we be far from the end of the world? Pundits and economists have been pointing to economic signs that Americans are in a recession for the better part of a year now, but there can be no more conclusive proof than this.
Jeff Meville, that guy who used to kick your ass until you joined our Anti-Pepsi Campaign from 2003 until 2006 has passed on. That's a damn shame, and we can't believe he's gone.
I really wish Jeff were alive today. He was a great guy, and incredibly funny. You have no idea how proud he was when he became a guy he called MR. PRODUCE! He was very, very happy, and energetic about that. I loved the guy. Although... we never really gave each other hugs. After he gave me one, we kind of agreed not to do that because we thought it was weird.
First, there was Brad Wall, who in 1991 said Roy Romanow had his head up his ass. That was probably true. He later apologized. How disappointing.
Then, there's this crazy bastard they call Michael Chisholm. He was kick-ass when he called the NDP's Deb Higgins a "dumb bitch." He has since apologized, and has resigned as a legislative secretary. That's a shame.
Who cares? She's from the NDP. Whoever is on the NDP has got to be a dumb bitch. Maybe... maybe not? I just don't like the NDP at this point, and I happen to love the Saskatchewan Party. And again, they can expect my vote again on November 7, 2011.
Oh yes... Station 20 West is stupid. The people are already getting new houses. Isn't that good enough?
If you'd know any better, you know that 20th Century Fox is known for kick-ass movies, and weird movies. Well... this is something you'll never believe... a movie, based on the game I love to play The Sims.
This is going to be interesting...
Right now... that's all of the details we have for now.
You know what's fun to do? Dressing up like a ninja, then going to scratch some strange letter into someone's clothes, like that guy on The Poke of Zorro (on The Simpsons)!
Well, some kid in the Vancouver area thought it'd be fun. So, he dressed himself like a ninja, and with a sword, he tried to bust into someone's house.
He has been arrested, and held for a psychiatric assessment. Apparently, all he did was open the door and ask the family if he could use their computer.
Also, he's been arrested before, under the Mental Health Act. That's pretty funny stuff.
Those douche-bags from the opposition party, otherwise known as the NDP, has accused the Saskatchewan Party of forming $3.4-million "slush fund" with funding it pulled from the Saskatchewan Arts Board.
Now, this is the kick-ass part:
But Culture Minister Christine Tell said the previous NDP administration had "thrown" money at the arts board just before last fall's provincial election and a new framework for the money needs to be put in place.
Do we really need art in this world? Well, I just realized I know someone who is an artist... and he happens to be Nathan Dutnall's dad. So, my opinion on this is mixed...
The University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan's greatest campus of all time, is considering the possibility of adding a hotel to its campus.
"Vancouver-based PKF Consulting reported to the university that a hotel would work better in a residential development near Griffiths Stadium than on sites near Preston Crossing, Innovation Place and the Field House."
Maybe Marriott would be interested in building or having a property in the kick-ass city of Saskatoon? After all, it has a call centre in Saskatoon!
If you remember as far back as May, 2004, G4 and TechTV merged to become G4techTV. At this point, Canada got to watch exclusive G4 content for the first time.
Well, the network back then, although considered crappy was still kick-ass compared to the networks G4techTV Canada and G4 are now!
Remember the old X-Play and those kick-ass shows like Arena, Blister, the old Cheat!, Cinematech, the old Filter, G4tv.com, the old Icons (later renamed Game Makers), Judgment Day, Players, Portal and Sweat?
Well, for Americans, those shows will be coming back. I don't know if it'll be done in Canada! And... it's called "G4 Rewind," which begins June 2, 2008.
For more information, click here. If only they'd bring back Unscrewed with Martin Sargent!
Loblaw Cos. Ltd., the kick-ass company behind the genius of the Real Canadian Superstore, is going through some more rough times.
The company, which announced a turn-around plan in February of 2007, which would have lasted three years or so, has announced that its turn-around plan will take closer to five years.
Part of the turn-around includes a "major revitalization" of the kick-ass President's Choice, leading up to its 25th anniversary next year.
There's going to be some new and exciting developments in Regina, which could include a new hotel!
The site is located along Albert Street in Regina.
Now, as exciting as this is... I am unhappy about this, as the building on the site is the former Real Canadian Superstore that was located in downtown Regina.

This article has since changed since the last time I read it. Not too long ago, the article stated that the mother says the incident was ridiculous.
