Toronto Sun: LEAFS AND MURDER! 4

Apr

2008

From: TorontoSunSucks.com “For years, I have passed by the newsstand of the reprehensible Toronto Sun newspaper and its absurd headlines. This sorry excuse for a newspaper, known by most as a “tabloid written at a Grade 5 level”, constantly contains fear mongering headlines in large dark print, such as “RECIPE FOR TERROR”, “DEADLY CHASE”, “2 ...

Winter Storm "Disaster"

Dec

2007

On Sunday, a snow storm passed through Toronto where we saw somewhere around 30 or 40 centimetres of snow dropped on the city. Two days later, the media is labelling the storm as a ‘disaster’. I laugh when I hear somebody call a snowstorm a “disaster”. Toronto is internationally renowned for its calling in the ...

United Flight 232 Crash 2

Nov

2007

Last night I watched a show on National Geographic that showed the crash landing of United Flight 232 on July 19th, 1989. This is an amazing story that I would like to share. At 3:16PM on that fateful day, a loud bang could be heard on United Flight 232 and the crew determined that the ...

FOX News Attacks Iran 2

Nov

2007

MoveOn.Org posted a video on YouTube that compares FOX News’ campaign against Iraq before the invasion in 2003 to the current campaign against Iran in 2007. It’s a little too flattering to give FOX News full credit for the war in Iraq. FOX News is quite simply a propaganda medium for the GOP. Although I’m ...

Oct

2007

Did you hear about the poor kid in Georgia who spent 2 years in jail because he received Oral sex from a consenting 15-year old girl when he was 17 years old? Genarlow Wilson, an honour roll student, a football star, and homecoming king, was at a New Years Party when the incident happened. Can ...

News Helicopter Tragedy 2

Jul

2007

As you have already probably heard, two news helicopters that were covering a car chase collided in mid-air, killing all 4 people on board. This is very sad tragedy and is disturbing that the crash happened while on live TV (Warning – graphic). At the moment the two helicopters collided, photojournalist Craig Smith can be ...

Adam Plimmer is No Longer 2

Apr

2007

Since I’m still getting some traffic from people looking for Adam Plimmer, I figured I’d let everyone know that Adam Plimmer has closed his store. I wonder if he closed down the store as a result of the lack of business since he threw his raging fit back in February. In his little “Goodbye Note” ...

Adam Plimmer is Adam Paul? 12

Feb

2007

Just when you thought Adam Plimmer’s career as an Optician was finished, he has shown his persistence by changing the sign on his store from “King West Opticians” to “Adam Paul & Associates Opticians”. His new sign is even using the same black and white colour scheme as his next door tenant, who is an ...

The Angry Optician 13

Feb

2007

Last evening my brother Tom told me that the Emergency Task Force was right outside our building along with around 20 police cars. We found out after that there was an incident in the building next door. The owner of King West Opticians, one Adam Plimmer has been investigated by the media over the last ...

Niagara Falls Miracle

Jan

2007

Like many people, I’m fascinated with people who have plunged over Niagara Falls and lived to tell about it. One of the most unbelievable stories in Niagara Falls happened on July 9th, 1960. 7 year-old Roger Woodward and his sister, 17 year-old Deanne Woodward from Niagara Falls, New York were out in a small boat ...
