When the Flames were Red Hot

In honour of the alumni game at McMahon Stadium:

How's This For Product Innovation?

Apparently you can fill 44 pints per minute with these taps.

Threat Level Midnight

The Office isn't nearly as good as it used to be but I'm still going to miss Michael Scott. This week's episode had some great moments. Threat Level Midnight

Toronto's New Mayor

Despite the lackluster candidates in the running, my wife and I fulfilled our civic duty by hitting the polls. We brought our three-month old with us and she showed her excitement by spitting up milk on the floor by the voting station. That milk stain on the floor sums up my feelings about this election far better than I ever could have.

Nike Saves LeBron?

When you're the most famous basketball player on the planet and you've killed your reputation by sticking it to your loyal fanbase in a one-hour ESPN special, how do you win your fans back?

Nike, of course.

Forbes: LeBron Redemption Tour Starts With New Nike Ad

I think it's brilliant. Much less creepy than hearing a dead relative talk over a black and white image. Is it possible to undo 3,600 seconds of damage in 90 seconds? Maybe. Afterall, LeBron didn't kill anyone, didn't get charged with a crime, didn't get caught with illegal drugs or steriods and didn't cheat on anyone. America loves a great comeback story as long as there's an apology involved and with Nike footing the bill for this one, King James is well on the road to regaining his status as a global superstar. Oh ya and he'll surely sell a lot of shoes too.
