It’s so nice when it happens good

by Jordan RothFebruary 28, 2010

My anxiety level was out of control during that game.  I feel like I was in labour or something.
A few people commented on my post from a few days ago about the Canada-U.S. hockey rivalry (In person. They neglected to comment on the blog post itself…).  Anyway, in short, I said that the Americans didn’t [...]

And the Americans couldn’t care less

by Jordan RothFebruary 23, 2010

Hi, Americans.  Did you hear about the tremendously important Olympic hockey game that gripped my country on Sunday night?
It’s Tuesday today and it strikes me that Americans still, for some reason, have not picked up on the fact that they are at hockey war with Canada—at least, that’s how it seems here.
I watched the game [...]

1 Girl 5 Gays 62 Bits

by Jordan RothFebruary 9, 2010

Just back to Canada, I only recently learned about the MTV Canada show 1 Girl 5 Gays. There’s actually a number of other shows in development right now based on the fabulous success of this show.  Like the original, they all spell out the entire premise of the show in their respective titles.  Here’re some:

A family of (idiot) adventurers!

by Jordan RothOctober 15, 2009

On behalf of the world, I’d like to thank the Heenes of Fort Collins, Colorado for wasting local and national resources, creating unnecessary concern all over the country and the globe, and for being all-around idiots.
What is going on?  Who are these people? Who are these parents?  Is anyone else fixated on the point, amongst [...]

Mad Men dork I am

by Jordan RothSeptember 8, 2009

Like quite a few people these days, I’m really into Mad Men. I was into this show from the get-go when I stumbled upon it just over two years ago. Anyway, it’s awesome and brilliant and I could go into all the reasons why I think so, but I won’t do that right now. But, I will say this: [...]

On the “stupid shit” beat

by Jordan RothJuly 21, 2009

Cable news frustrates me.
I’m sure Jeannie Moos over at CNN is very nice and it seems—after a little research—like she has a distinguished broadcast journalism career. But her reports on CNN are frustratingly stupid.  Moos covers CNN’s zany, quirky, off-kilter and unnecessary stories.
Like most things that bother me, this probably shouldn’t.  Maybe it’s the tone [...]

Lunchables: A Part of the Problem

by Jordan RothJune 26, 2009

Today I saw an adult eating a Lunchable.
Now, I’m pretty immature. (As I write this, a few toys from my favorite cereal are within view.)  But, really?  I think if you’re, say, in your thirties, and you whip out a Lunchable, and you’re not joking, you have to ask yourself some serious questions, including, among [...]

Letterman apology

by Jordan RothJune 16, 2009

For those who don’t know, David Letterman made some jokes about Sarah Palin and Bristol on the Late Show.  They weren’t the best jokes.  They were crude and, maybe, they were misses.  That’s it.
There are plenty of jokes made in late night that are crude and there are plenty that are misses.  There are also [...]
