During the past two and a half years, you may have remembered when your local Real Canadian Superstore had a section cordoned off. Eventually, that cordoned-off section started selling clothes. Joe Fresh Style clothing.
It's about that democratization of design," says Joe Mimran of his Joe Fresh Style brand, available at the Real Canadian Superstore.
Joe Mimran made nice clothing available at an affordable price. And now, he has expanded into the world of cosmetics. "The pricing is really incredible," Mimran says, adding the cosmetics will start at $4 and cap at $8. "It's really, really, really well-priced."
A man who never took life seriously enough to marry his longtime girlfriend finally did that on Friday, August 17, 2007.
The couple have been together for ten years.
Now, what made the man decide to ask the woman to marry him?
Well... all it took was a grizzly bear to bite the man (maybe even his balls) for him to take life seriously enough to ask his girlfriend to marry him.
What a dork.
I don't know why I'm featuring this story. It's a little weird for me.
The story I am featuring right now comes right from Dubai, United Arab Emirates where a one-legged Emirati guy who has 78 children (who happens to be a pimp--he has two wives) and is lining up his two wives in an attempt to have 100 children before 2015 rolls around. Man, that's only eight years away...
The man is 60 and has gone through 15 brides altogether and has to divorce them as he goes along in order to remain under the legal limit of having four wives at a time.
This is what he apparently said to to the local tabloid, "In 2015 I will be 68 years old and will have 100 children."
He then followed that up with, "After that I will stop marrying. I have to have at least three more marriages to hit the century."
So not only does he want to screw the guts out of every woman he marries, he wants to marry as much as possible.
Jim Carrey used to be the man who made more per film than any other actor in Hollywood. He used to command $20-$25 million per feature. Now, he's made what people are referring to as the worst deal in Hollywood, for his upcoming film Yes Man. Carrey will get paid on what's called a "cash break" deal, which means he won't get paid until the film starts making money.
Now, if you've never read any of the infamous stories of creative accounting that take place in the movie business, you should know that as far as studios are concerned, films rarely make money. That is, after you pay for the production, the other actors' deals, marketing, P/R and development costs (which could run into years worth of salaries for people) and much, much more.
Of course, maybe Mr. Jim Carrey doesn't need the money, and just wanted to work. That's always possible. Right? He IS Canadian.
Tonight on Family, there is a great movie that will be making its Canadian premiere on the channel.
Remember that movie High School Musical that came out last year with the cute high school girls (and guys)? Well, there's a sequel to that movie and it's out, TONIGHT!
Watch High School Musical 2 tonight on Family at 8:00 PM/ET. So, if you're in Saskatoon, it will be on Family (West) at 9:00 PM and on Family (East) at 6:00 PM.
Since all of us (but Joey) love this movie so much, we're just going to watch the movie after work. No updates today. We're too giddy for it.
You may not hear from us this weekend but we'll definitely be back on Monday.
Now, you know what's a great idea? You go to major restaurant chains and eat the glass when it comes to the drinks they serve you.
After that, you sue them.
A man and wife in the Boston area did that, sort of.
Prosecutors say that Ronald Evano and his wife Mary "filed fraudulent insurance claims worth more than $200,000, collected more than $200,000 and left a trail of unpaid medical bills totaling more than $100,000 in several states between 1997 and 2005." Note: I took that straight from the article and I'm too lazy to properly cite it. I'll change it if someone threatens to sue this website.
Some of you like to know that I drive fast... perhaps a little too fast and I have little respect for old people who don't drive like maniacs even though it has somehow been proven that old people are better drivers than young, hip people.
And this one time, 8th Street East barely had any traffic by that Sobeys store near Louise Avenue so I started speeding and I eventually reached the speed of 100 km/h. I was never caught. Right now, I'm glad I don't live in Ontario.
So let's go back in time... let's just Saskatoon is in Ontario and I drive at 100 km/h down 8th Street right now... and I get caught. Well, I would be treated as a "street racer" and as a result, I would automatically get my driver's licence suspended along with a $10,000 fine.
Five guys that own five separate high-end vehicles (perhaps luxury) are under investigation after people nearby (probably old people) reported to police that they saw several Ferraris and a Lamborghini racing each other.
By the time police arrived on the scene, only one vehicle matching the description was found. Now, why would the old people report this to police? Well, the drivers of the nice vehicles were reportedly driving at speeds of 200 km/h or so. Now, how the hell can anyone tell without a radar?
Well, the five guys were allegedly racing each other. Oh no, the horrors.
Now, would I buy a car like a Ferrari or Lamborghini if I had the money or won the lottery? Hell no. I am sticking to cheap, and eventually-affordable Japanese vehicles, otherwise known as Toyota.
Hey girls, how much to do you love your iPod? Is it symbolically close to your heart? Want it actually close to your heart?
Well, Korean-based JWin is developing an iPod-friendly bikini top that come with the controls sewn right in. It communicates with a wireless "dongle" that you insert into your iPod.
Man, I can't wait until the first person that gets electrocuted while wearing this thing in the water and sues the crap out of JWin!
You know what's funny about Chinese people? They think that if they screw up, they should not be given a second chance.
Well, that's bad... and kind of sad.
If you make an honest mistake, the world will be forgiving of you, most of the time. The CEO of the Chinese toy company involved in a major recall in the U.S. has decided to commit suicide.
In today's world, society relies heavily on computers. But when the computers shut down, the world becomes a jungle and society acts like barbarians as as whole.
Well, that's what I'm usually thinking seeing as to how I am a crazy bastard.
And that's what happened at the Los Angeles International Airport when their screening system broke down, forcing about 20,000 people to wait in terminals and inside planes. Poor suckers.
This is why you should avoid travelling on a plane through major centres, if possible. The only exceptions so far in Canada are Saskatoon and Regina.
Kids these days... and their stupid iPod MP3-playing devices. Recnetly, an ice cream shop in Florida was robbed without incident because the cashier didn't pay attention.
How did she miss the whole shop being robbed? Simple. The iPod. She was listening to it.
A man in the Boston-area who was recently questioned about the death of his cat has come up with one of the most ridiculous (but awesome) reason for the death of his cat.
According to Nicholas Goroff, the cat knocked over a gun, accidentally setting it off, therefore shooting the stupid cat.
Cops didn't believe him because of beer cans in his apartment and the smell of alcohol in his breath.
DRM sucks. It's what keeps people from easily sharing music that they legally purchase from downloadable music vendors. Sharing music is the charm of music!
However, Universal may be jumping on board the DRM-free train, which isn't moving too fast just yet. They plan to begin selling DRM-free tracks through Rhapsody, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Google, and others. Apple's iTunes will not receive these tracks.
Universal is the largest music corporation, but it will be interesting to see how much this takes off. It's still incredibly easy to download music illegally and free with no DRM to deal with. Not that I recommend that (wink, wink).
These days... not even the "cool" things can stay out of trouble.
The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, recently parked in downtown Chicago had its hazard lights blinking, on a major downtown street... and was parked in a "no-parking" zone. C'mon man... give the guy a break.
A couple from New Zealand might be able to keep it real, but won't be able to keep their baby 4Real. A group called the New Zealand nomenclature soviet, which is the greatest name for an organization ever, says that parents can't have a numeral in their child's name. So, the child will no longer be able to be named 4Real.
When you think about it, it does seem unfair for a government organization to be able to legislate what parents can name their children, but 4Real's actually a pretty stupid name. It's certainly better than a name like Harry Sachz.
It's okay though. The parents have a backup plan. Honestly. If they have to rename their kid, they're going to name him Superman.
EA and Hasbro have announced a partnership that will bring classic board game franchises to the video gaming market. With games like Monopoly, Scrabble, and Yahtzee under Hasbro's umbrella, the possibilities seem endless. The partnership plans to bring these games to all possible platforms, including mobile, online, handheld, PC, and consoles.
"Through the years, EA has proven themselves time and again as an incredibly creative company that delivers amazing content across multiple brands. We are thrilled to work with EA in bringing our brands to the next level in the digital world," said Brian Goldner, Hasbro's chief operating officer.
For the record, I always play the car, and you will have to pay full price for a hotel on Park Place and Boardwalk.
A 17-year-old was sentenced to nine months probation along with a nine-month driving prohibition for driving like a maniac. Well, it probably wouldn't have been so bad had he pulled over.
However, he did NOT pull over. Do you know what the little douche did? Well, according to his lawyer Owen Griffith, the little bastard did not see the sirens flashing (or see it) because "his very expensive stereo" was too loud.
The lawyer also claimed that he had four new tires that were slightly too big, therefore causing the speedometer to give an inaccurate reading.
What a moron... and as for the douche, he's an idiot. If you're going to drive on 125 km/h, it has to be a main street, like 8th Street, or 22nd Street. Not a residential area or a road near the river with many curves.
Wait... what am I saying? This kid deserves a break... wait, he doesn't. I'd feel more emotional if he WEREN'T drinking.
Over in the state of New York, in a town named Albany (at least, that's where the article comes from), a robber who put down his gun to steal a bunch of cash from a convenience store ended up having his own gun pointed at him.
Here's how it goes: 1. Man walks in, demands money. 2. Man gets bored, takes money, puts in pockets. 3. Man puts gown down and clerk points gun at man. 4. Man flees, comes back for gun. 5. Other man writes down first man's licence plate. 6. First man gets arrested at some point.
Is there anything more terrifying while driving then seeing some BASTARD (such as myself) text-messaging while at the wheel of a vehicle?
Well, a recent Harris Poll says that I'm not alone in that opinion, and that 91% of Americans think it's unsafe to text while driving. Now, it remains a mystery as to why there was no Canadian study to be found.
However, even though 89% even think it should be outlawed, 57% admitted they have done it.
They also discovered that 66% of adults surveyed read their text messages or e-mails while driving, and younger drivers are more likely to text while driving.
Washington State has passed a law banning "text"-ing while driving, and New York, California and Florida are considering similar legislation.
According to Variety.com, Warner Bros. wants to send Jonny Quest on his first major adventure, EVER!
And as for the celebrities, here's an excerpt stolen from the article linked below:
Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter, who have the vidgame-based "Hitman" bowing in October from Fox, will produce the live-action adaptation of the popular 1960s animated TV series from Hanna-Barbera, with Dan Mazeau penning the script.
The show started airing in 1964 on ABC and only lasted one season. So, it's going to be some great stuff, right 50-year-old bastards, if you're reading this?
In Wisconsin, a six-year-old boy is recovering well, after being shot somewhere in his body. He is expected to survive after being shot by his three-year-old cousin, who is a girl.
Wow, whatever the issue was, they should have handled it like adults. Damn kids.
China has just launched an experimental summer camp that aims to cure their youth of online addiction. China has classified about 2.6 million youngsters under the age of 18 as Internet addicts.
The little douche-bags at the summer camp would be treated for depression, fear, unwillingness to interact with others, panic and agitation. Maybe I should go there too.
However, this is not as "harsh" as the other option, the Addiction Treatment Centre, which uses a "blend of therapy and military drills to treat children addicted to online games, Internet pornography and cybersex."
You know what's more effective than an alarm when it comes to protecting your vehicle? Your son/daughter, if he/she is still a baby/toddler.
A car thief in Montreal recently stole an SUV while the mother of a 14-month-old baby was visiting her stupid friend inside a home. The thief then realized there was a baby in the back seat, sleeping. So, the thief decided to abandon the vehicle three blocks later and got out of the vehicle to call the cops and inform them of the "misdeed" that the thief had just performed.
Damn those kids... don't know what they want. Stupid kids. Anyway, a report I saw on Global National proves that kids are stupid.
Well, a bunch of kids that were eating food preferred food with the McDonald's packaging. First off, chicken nuggets... the kids preferred the nuggets from the bag branded McDonald's, rather than the ones from the bag without the branding...
And it goes on...
However, you may find this interesting: Quebec has banned food companies from targeting kids under the age of 12.
If you had no arms... would YOU drive a car? Well, a man in Florida would. Despite having no arms and only one leg, he refuses to stop.
The man now faces five years in prison and 15 years of drug offender probation.
After he lost his arms and leg at the age of 13, he taught himself how to drive. He has already spent more than three years in prison for driving without a licence, kicking a state trooper and other stuff.
He DID have a valid licence before... but it has been suspended numerous times during the last 22 years, according to his lawyer. Now, how does he start the vehicle? Well... better yet, here's what he uses to operate the vehicle:
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggars are proud parents of a newly-born baby girl named Jennifer Danielle. Now, this is a "miracle," but giving birth isn't exactly "new" to this couple.
The child is now their 17th child... and they're still wanting more children. Man, imagine having 17 kids running around your house all day long. Damn it. That would be worse than Cheaper By the Dozen.
All of the children are home-schooled. The oldest is 19 and the youngest (before the newborn) is two years old.
Well, this is just getting weird. I'm leaving. I'll be back later.
Do YOU remember lonelygirl15? The web series that was all the rage last year until the makers prematurely announced that it was a fake? We thought that was the end of it, but apparently there have been episodes ongoing since then. Today, MySpace will air the final episode for this season, which should involve some major cliff-hangers and excitement.
In much the same way that Prom Queen had an exclusive for their season finale on MySpace, lonelygirl15 will be exclusive to the website. However, the finale will be shown over the course of 12 hours, one piece of the episode every hour, so you're going to have to go to MySpace all day if you want to know how it turns out. That was, of course, the intention.
Damn celebrities these days... always ending up in prison. But, for some criminals, they usually have a preference of jails.
For instance, Nicole Richie would rather spend her time in a county jail rather than a city jail.
Why? Well, the biggest difference in a county jail is that inmates often serve only a fraction of their sentence due to good behaviour, or overcrowding.
If anyone's a freak, it's Marilyn Manson and Stephen Bier Jr. Former Marilyn Manson band member Stephen Bier Jr. (a.k.a. Madonna Wayne Gacy) is suing the gothy rocker for breach-of-contract, seeking more than $20 million.
The keyboardist is accusing Manson of spending the band's money "to fund his lavish lifestyle, drug habit and the production of his upcoming film, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll," among other things.
He also says Manson took assets belonging to the rest of the band (money generated through touring, and album and merchandise sales) to purchase Nazi paraphernalia, African masks made of human skin and the full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl, all of which is on display in his Chatsworth, CA mansion.
Manson calls allegations "ridiculous"... though he doesn't deny owning Nazi paraphernalia, African masks made of human skin, and the full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl.
Bier is seeking unspecified general, compensatory and punitive damages as well as lost salary, bonuses and attorneys' fees.
Plus, he presumably added a few bucks for having to play such crappy music for so long and having to look a Manson's flabby butt-cheeks in those ridiculous assless stage outfits he wears.
You know what would be a pain in the ass? Being Harry Potter.
In Florida, there is an old guy named Harry Potter. Coincidentally, his name is the same as a fictional character who's in a bunch of stories written by J.K. Rowling.
And every time a new book or movies comes out, the man gets never-ending calls from damn little kids, autograph requests and requests for interviews by television networks.
In today's society, sex seems to sell. Then, there's the on-going issue of teens doing it with each other on prom night and teenaged girls getting pregnant after that "prom night sex" because the little horny bastard refused (or forgot) to wear a freaking condom.
Well, possible reasons for wanting to have sex, especially on prom night is to say that you followed the tradition of having sex on prom night or some people will do it for the sake of it so that they can tell their friends they banged some chick.
Now, I don't even know why the hell I'm doing this... but according to a study, the reason most people have sex is because it simply "feels good."
Let's just say you were some guy who wanted to kill himself. If you were him, how would you kill yourself?
Well, the most common way of committing suicide is to hang yourself. But, in British Columbia, a man was found alive after being chained to a tree for a whole six days.
According to police, it is a bizarre suicide attempt and no further details are provided.
A "consignment" filled with "deadly" petroleum-powered roller skates have been impounded/confiscated in Dorset due to fears that they'd end up being used on the streets.
The skates travel at speeds up to 20mph. But, the best thing about these inline skates is that they had no way of braking and could explode in an accident. That will teach the damn kids rollerblading down the streets near my house, if they were petroleum-powered. But, I'll only be happy if they aren't anywhere near my place of residence.
You know what I hate about today's Interweb-society? Well, it's those damn kids that type things such as "r u gay," "ur not coming with us," "lol," "fu bitch," and "omg." That really pisses me off. And if anyone is trying to spell properly... there's always people that make simple mistakes without even knowing it... *cough* my freaking cousin.
But in the real world, you would probably be shot for writing "lol" on your term paper or something. But, some guy with rude/crude humour won a prize saluting terrible writers.
What the hell kind of a world do we live in today?
You know what's wrong with old people these days? Well, first, a study proved that old people drive better than young people do and that really pissed me off.
But this is kind of funny...
A former Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and wealthy businessman told police that he was shot by two masked men with Russian accents and was only saved because the two bullets fired at him hit a belt buckle.
Five months later, someone was in trouble... HIM!
It turns out... he was going to frame one of his own sons as revenge by telling the 911 operator that his son had laundered $180 million and had threatened to kill him.
I know some people who play soccer (Vanessa Parker, Razaq Qayum, Lindsay Claypool) and some people who ref. the game (Cailin Fisher). But over in Manitoba, if ANY soccer player swears at all (even in their breath), they will be OUT!
Well, the Manitoba Soccer Association has had that rule for a while, but it became a no-tolerance rule yesterday, with no exceptions. Referees will NOT be allowed to use their own discretion.
Sucks to be those dorks. Vanessa, Razaq, Lindsay and all of those other soccer players should be happy they don't live in Manitoba.
Texas based tech company International Parallel Machines has a bone to pick with Sony. The firm has asserted (via lawsuit) that the PlayStation 3's cell processors have, like, infringed on a patent, man.
The lawsuit claims Sony's use of the Cell processor is "causing irreparable harm and monetary damage," and seeks fees and damages. Pretty standard, right? But the company also wants a recall and destruction of any and all Sony products that use the technology.
The cell processor was developed jointly by Sony, IBM and Toshiba.
We're not lawyers or anything... but maybe International Parallel Machines has a point... or maybe (just maybe) this is one of those patent-trolling things, where small companies sue big companies not because they believe they have a case, but because they think the bigger companies will settle and they'll get some hard-earned cash. See, capitalism can be fun!
A man who never took life seriously enough to marry his longtime girlfriend finally did that on Friday, August 17, 2007.

A Calgary woman has naturally given birth to four babies, all identical. That's rare... I guess.
Now, you know what's a great idea? You go to major restaurant chains and eat the glass when it comes to the drinks they serve you.
An off-duty police officer in Nevada was recently pulled over and arrested. She was charged with driving under the influence.
Some of you like to know that I drive fast... perhaps a little too fast and I have little respect for old people who don't drive like maniacs even though it has somehow been proven that old people are better drivers than young, hip people.
I take what I said earlier back.
This is probably the best thing I've read all day.
Five guys that own five separate high-end vehicles (perhaps luxury) are under investigation after people nearby (probably old people) reported to police that they saw several Ferraris and a Lamborghini racing each other.
Hey girls, how much to do you love your iPod? Is it symbolically close to your heart? Want it actually close to your heart?
Movie Gallery, the company competing against Blockbuster Inc. posted a wider loss during the second quarter of 2007.
Are you one of those lazy bastards that don't clear the snow from your property all winter, or after a storm?
You know what's funny about Chinese people? They think that if they screw up, they should not be given a second chance.
