How Brantford turns an Opportunity into a Boondoggle

It’s absolutely ridiculous that all Mayor Chris Friel can say is “poor Brantford might get it’s name muddied” cause of Hockeyfest. You think? Since the mayor withdrew support of Hockeyfest for 2012, he should have at least given moral support and set some expectations regarding security. Maybe he should have had someone from Brantford Police and Brantford Fire liasing with the organisers of Hockeyfest? Maybe months, if not weeks from the event?

Instead we get ass covering and “it wasn’t me, it was them” blame game. Good on you guys. So now over 30,000 people from all over Ontario and the US may not be able to enjoy acts like Creed, The Trews, Weezer, Mariana’s Trench, and Down with Webster among others.

Shame not only on organisers, but on Chris Friel, shame on Brantford Police, shame on council, and shame on the Grand River Conservation Authority. You should have helped not turn this into the giant boondoggle it is going to be. Not exactly Brantastic.

Chiquita Bananas Are saying “Boycott Canadian Oil.” Then after they got wind of Canadians being pissed about the ban, they changed to the story to “Well, sort of boycott, not really.” COME ON!

Sorry Chiquita. Not good enough. So if you live in Canada, Do NOT buy Chiquita Bananas. Buy Dole, Buy Del Monte. Tell your grocer you will not be buying Chiquita Bananas until they apologize for saying Canadian Oil is bad. Especially since that comes from a company that was fined $25 million by the US government because it had been paying money to terrorist groups in South America. Shameful. Nice moral ground to stand on.

Chiquita Bananas, Boycott Chiquita, Ban Chiquita, shameful, Fuck Chiquita,

As a public service, for the next few weeks, Generation Zel! Radio will be airing the Chiquita Banana Ban ads on the station throughout December and January.

DO NOT BUY CHIQUITA BANANAS.

PETA Shameless In Beheading Ad

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA tried – and failed – to run a newspaper ad comparing the beheading of a passenger on a Greyhound bus last week to the treatment of animals by the meat industry.

In a sickening stunt designed to try to shock people, PETA tried to compare the slitting of Tim McLean’s throat last Thursday to the slaughter of cows, chickens and pigs in factory farms. Of course, they tried running it in the Portage la Prairie Daily Graphic, the paper closest to the July 30 incident.

The paper refused. And rightly so, as the images of that night are still very fresh. But rather than apologizing and pulling the ad, PETA pulls on ahead, leaving the ad on their website, shamelessly. Rather than apologizing to the family of the McLeans, they try to capitalize on the death of an innocent human being to make a play for cattle and pig farming? Fuck that.

Of course, hard-core PETA freaks have been using sad attempts at shock ads for a long time. I’ve been reminded of them comparing chicken farming to the Jewish Halocaust — WHAT? Seriously. Remember Penn & Teller exposing these people as attention whoring bullshit artists?

Exactly. We wont even get into the fact that PETA is killing at least 5 defenseless animals per day.

Anyways, I’ll be sure to get an extra strip or two of bacon today for breakfast, and pull out a steak for lunch. Maddox said it best:

For every animal you don't eat, I'll eat three
