World Cup Slimes Toronto

There are fools running through Toronto with flags on their cars, draped in flag capes, with flag makeup on their faces, and shouting at people across the street who are wearing different flags on their faces and shoulders. If this is what it’s like here where nobody could care less about soccer, I’m very glad not to be in Germany.

I watch sports, but I restrict it to men’s diving, purely for the nudity. This is much healthier than screaming at strangers because of where their grandparents were born.

Alexandre Despatie, take me away!

Star Trek Fans Granted too much Technology

For the first time in nearly two decades, television spinoffs from the original 1960’s “Star Trek” series have ended, so fans are banding together to make their own episodes. Fan films have been around for years, particularly those related to the “Star Wars” movies. But now they can be downloaded from the Web, and modern computer graphics technology has lent them surprising special effects.

Having watched a few of the fan episodes, I can state that the special effects are worthy of the original series without a shadow of a doubt, as are the acting, art direction, script, camera work, make up, and so forth.
