That’s what we’re talking aboot, Canada!

Canada’s second oldest magazine (the first being fashion mag Beauty, Ey?), The Beaver, is finally–after 90 years–changing its name. As of April, it will be titled Canada’s History, which is rich in hockey, lumberjacking and their controversial SNL training camps, in which children are enrolled by the age of four.

Editor-in-chief Mark Reid said that the change is in response to a lack of female readers.

“‘Market research showed us that younger Canadians and women were very very unlikely to ever buy a magazine called The Beaver no matter what it’s about,’ said Reid, adding he has mixed feelings about the name change. ‘For whatever reasons, they are turned off by the name.'”

Well, good for you, Canadiennes! Way to ensure that the focus of Canada’s history remains on humans and not on animals, particularly ones that are trying to steal our trees and water!

Take it from Snee: What this election really means

It is the dawn of a new day, a Wednesday, here in America, now that we have managed to elect a President for the 44th time in our history.

There were some among you who doubted it would happen — that the votes would be inconclusive because everyone voted for themselves. I am happy to say that this was not the case, and the nation will continue to have an executive branch for the next four years … despite everything that branch has done the past eight.

Of course, there are also some people who are trying to assign more meaning to this auspicious occasion than I’ve already mentioned above. They mean well, but — like most people who mean well — they are wrong. Continue reading Take it from Snee: What this election really means

Start your morning with a cup of Schadenfreude

Good morning … or was it?  Did you have trouble pulling yourself out of bed to shower a body you hate, go to a job that you never wanted, just so you can send some broken condoms to college in a few years?

You had plans.  You were going to be a big deal.  An astronaut.  A porn star.  An astro-porn star-naut.  But it didn’t happen.

You know what will make your morning a good one?  A steaming hot cup of Schadenfreude.

Remember Rachel Dratch?  Yeah, apparently neither did her SNL co-stars.  She’ll have her own cup of delicious Schadenfreude soon, though, once Baby Mama tanks at the box office.

Mm, Schadenfreude: make it every morning’s shameful joy.

U2 films concert movie for three ‘virgins’

Did you know that right now, somewhere on this planet, there are people who have not seen a U2 concert? Despite their appearance on every television program to date, including the Super Bowl, Dish Network free pay-per-view events, Saturday Night Live (a gazillion times), any news program about Bono and that one time on Friends, U2 has realized that there are some people who haven’t seen them perform the same songs they’ve played for over 20 years.

U2, thankfully, has filled this void with a 3D movie of a concert where they play–once again–the same songs they’ve played for over 20 years. Only this time, Bono’s stupid hat juts out at you.

So look out for U2 at a theater near you! Or at a concert hall. Or on television. Or at your neighbor Ricky’s Bar Mitzvah.
