A girl’s take on The Bachelorette
by Sara B.
First of all, I’m not going to make the case that this show should be taken seriously. If you consider this a hard-hitting drama, we would not be friends. But if you watch it as a comedy/cheese-fest, I’ll think it’s well worth your time. C’mon, what else is there to watch this summer?
Aaron’s argument is that The Bachelor is about a bunch of girls looking for true love, while The Bachelorette is just a bunch of dudes trying to get laid.
A guy’s take on The Bachelorette
by Aaron Alguire
A few months ago, my wife begged me to watch The Bachelor with her. It seemed like a good opportunity for her to relive her student university life…..crack a bottle of wine, judge some ladies, etc. I initially dreaded the idea but once I went online to check out the cast I quickly changed my mind.
Aside from the weekly two hour episode format, we got into it pretty easily. I honestly believed that over half the women thought it was a perfect forum to meet a dream guy and were somehow able to forget about the dorky Bachelor boinking them all at the same time. There is an innocence about them that is both entertaining and intriguing. The drama is good, the ladies are smokin’ and the wife bonus points are well worth it. Plus it was easy to justify to other men, on account of the multiple gorgeous women.
DREGER DOES IT AGAIN
If you’ve visited The Steve Network in the past month, you know you were more likely to see tumbleweed blowing across the screen than a fresh article, but I had to come out of blogging retirement for this one.
Darren Dreger, loved by Canadians for his inability to tell us anything we don’t already know, has outdone himself yet again, making his boldest prediction yet!!!
This just in…Roethlisberger’s a jerk
So, I finally got to reading the Sports Illustrated article on Ben Roethlisberger, and I gotta say, I think he’s probably innocent of sexual assault, but who knows? The real takeaway from Jack McCallum’s piece seems to be that rapist or not, Big Ben is an asshole. If you haven’t read the story, here are a couple of my favourite parts:
1) The 20-year-old Georgia college student who accused Roethlisberger of rape was wearing a name tag that read DTF, short for Down to F—.
It really is a shame that this thing didn’t go to trial. In my imagined scenario, all the evidence would point to Roethlisberger being guilty. Ripped panties, semen stains, forcible entry, the works – an OJ-like slam dunk of a case. Then, with the young lady on the stand, Ben’s hot shot attorney asks, “But your name tag did say, “Down to F—” right?”
Carey Price to start Game 1 against the Penguins
Just hours after completing one of the biggest upsets in NHL history, Canadiens coach Jacques Martin announced that Carey Price will get the start against the Penguins on Friday.
“Jaraslav (Halak) was obviously wonderful in the the past three games,” said Martin in a Thursday morning press conference, “but we feel if given just one more chance, Price will come through for us.”
Martin said he was leaning towards Halak, the netminder who stopped 131 of 134 shots (.978 save percentage) over the final three games against Washington, before talking to his former boss Bob Gainey.
Steve Smith: Canada’s Bill Buckner
Like many Canadians, Steve Smith kicked back in his favourite armchair last night hoping to enjoy some quality sports highlights with his family.
“What do you think the Top 10 will be today daddy,” asked his 11-year-old son Steve Jr. “Something about Game 7s maybe?”
Suddenly, Smith looked pale. He knew what was coming.
TSN’s Top 10 Game 7 Moments.
“Not again,” muttered Smith under his breath. “Those bastards just showed me in a Top 10 last week after Boyle’s gaffe.”
“What was that dad?”
New Dos Equis Ads
Apologies if I’m late to the party here, but I finally saw the new Dos Equis commercials last night. Not surprisingly, I enjoyed them all. While the new spots bring nothing new to the table, why mess with a good thing? Over the past four years, “The Most Interesting Man in the World” campaign has probably single-handedly stopped the PVR-less citizens of the world from beating themselves to death with their remote controls. These new ads are everything Canadian commercials — and this blog — are not. Clever, funny and ridiculous without ever seeming stupid. Well done.
The quintessential Canadian moment?
After Taylor Hall’s overtime winner gave Windsor a 4-3 victory over Barrie in Game 1 of the OHL Final, Colts fans littered the ice with Kraft Dinner. Not surprisingly, historians are already calling the event “the quintessential Canadian moment.”
“Hockey and Kraft Dinner,” said pop culture expert Timothy Schmitz. “That’s like Bryan Adams having sex with a beaver while drinking a Molson Canadian. Incredible!”
