The State was the most intelligent show ever on MTV



MTV was supposed to release a State DVD set last month, but they didn't, and no one knows why.

If you love The State as much as I do, you should write to MTV, and ask them to hurry up:

MTV Home Video
1515 Broadway, NY NY 10036

Canada's Sole Contribution to the Internet is the thing least associated with Canada

While browsing the list of most frequently visited websites, I couldn't help but notice that only one of the sites in the top 100 was based in Canada.

You may be asking: What could this site possibly be? Google.ca? Myspace.ca? Ebay.ca?

No, don't be so banal. The only Canadian site on the list is unique in more than one way. It also happens (apparently) to be the most popular pornography resource in the world.

The true north strong and free, indeed.

Important!

I'd like to know: what the fuck is up with Kale (or Borecole, as it's sometimes referred to). It tastes like what I imagine sewage would taste like. How do you prepare this horrible shit?

Welcome to Washington



This is a good typo because "Rattlesnake" sounds like a much less inviting mountain than "Rattlesnack".



By what stretch of the imagination is this a dog? Were there no accompanying text, how would you interpret this sign? "No Rorschach's testing"?



This sign originally read "Caution: steep hill trail for next .3 miles". When the city of Snoqualmie realized that the trail was not actually steep, they painted over most of the caveat, but didn't bother to remove "caution" and "trail". Because it's a boring trail, perhaps.

Give it up

Why is it that everyone with a profile on a social networking site seems to consider F. Scott Fitzgerald and Harper Lee among their favorite authors? Were either of them really that great? No. No they were fucking not. They are, however, on most eighth grade required reading lists.

Look, if you don't read recreationally, that's cool. If you're using Myspace, then clearly you're at least functionally literate, and that's all that really matters. If a person openly declares that they don't enjoy reading books, but they have extensive knowledge in other areas (say, motocross or Italian sports cars), then I'll have considerably more respect for them than the person who claims to love Catcher in the Rye and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (incidentally, my favorite myspace misspelling is "One Flew Over Coco Nest").

It's kind of a given that we've all read these things (we were, after all, forced to), and if that's all you've ever read, then yes, it's probably your favorite. Exclusively listing 20th Century classics written for adolescents shows us that you don't like to read, but it also shows us that you're ashamed of it. Be true to yourselves, my friends. You should never feel pressured to lie about your hobbies. Myspace gives you the option to leave that portion of your profile blank. Show some pride and take that option.
