(no subject)

Cheers to the Globe and Mail (the closest thing there is to Canada's national newspaper), for running a photo of Janet, with exposed breast, and no fuzziness or censoring, on the front page of the entertainment section. If they've got to report it, subtly indicate that it's no big deal by just running the photo.

Jeers to the entire US entertainment syndicate for hyperventilating all day long over the goddamn breast.

Groans to CBC, whose headline this morning when I woke up to drive to Greenwood read "US Regulator to Probe Breast."

Commercials

I hate commercials. That said, I hate this one less.

I just saw a commercial for a Hyundai SUV. Santa Fe, I think. Anyway, it's a little SUV, not a huge one. The ad consisted of a family driving around looking at all the other people driving huge construction vehicles -- steamrollers, front-end loaders, etc. "How big does an SUV have to be?"

Of course, arguing that cars have gotten only *slightly* too big is not very helpful. I hate SUVs.

Quiz

Orkut is run by Google, which runs on Linux. 20,000 or so Linux systems, I think. So why does Orkut run ASP.NET (.aspx) pages?

Best answer wins a prize.
