Vancouver Stanely Cup Riots Part 2 12 years later

Congratulations Vancouver, we are now the centre of worldwide media attention. Not for the beautiful scenery, the wildlife, the great weather we've been having or even for how our economy is still managing to do well alongside what is now a global financial crisis. Yes, the real estate market is still nuts but houses are still being built and people are still working. All that aside, none of those are why Vancouver, BC Canada is at the top of Internet searches all over the world. So much are we in demand, there is a Facebook group looking for pictures of the on-goings in Vancouver last night. So why all this hype? Well, in case you didn't know.




Aside from being one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Vancouver is also home to some of the dumbest a$5h0les in the world. You know, those professional protestors. Losers and hooligans with nothing better to do than to search for things to protest about and incite violence. Yes, I am talking about the Stanley Cup Riots. Now don't get confused, I know Stanley Cup Riots happened back in 1994 after a Canucks win. There have also been riots and vandalism throughout the Vancouver area as a result of many things including the 2010 Olympics, housing issues, and various other topics which apparently justify violence in the minds of the pea brained unemployed 5h!t for brains looser professional protestor crowds.

So what was the reason for the latest Riot in Vancouver? Why is the world media plastered with pictures of burning cards and broken windows in Downtown Vancouver? Well, you see, there is this thing called the Stanley Cup. Apparently, not winning the Stanley cup, or in the case of 1994, almost winning the Stanley Cup is cause for violence. Oh my god, the tragedy in the world when the Vancouver Canucks loose a game. This is awful, lets flip over some cars and set them on fire.

Come on people, get a fvck!ng clue. IT IS A GAME. There are plenty of other things happening in the world. People are starving, governments are suppressing their citizens. The biggest concern in Vancouver right now, well aside from housing prices, is the length of the Starbucks line-up or maybe traffic. Not that many of these loosers and bums who rioted are concerned about housing prices or traffic.

Honestly, I really don't know what to say about the Stanley Cup Riots in Vancouver or all those pictures of burning cars and Broken Windows plastering the world wide media. I don't understand the mentality of those losers involved in the 2011 Stanley Cup Riots of Vancouver. This does not mean I am at all surprised there was a Riot after Vancouver lost the Stanley Cup to Boston last night. After all, this is Vancouver, the protest and idiot capital of the world. Oh ya, I'm a proud Canadian today. Fvck!ing A$$h0les!!!

SEAL FUR AND CANADIAN ATHLETES UNIFORMS

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT APPROVES SEAL FUR UNIFORMS FOR OLYMPIC ATHLETES


I know Canadians are typically fence sitters who tend to go along with the trend as long as there is beer involved but going along with this proposed move of Parliament would be just stupid.

The Bloc Quebecois brought forth a motion on Wednesday calling on the CANADIAN government to include SEAL PELTS INTO THE OLYMPIC ATHLETES UNIFORMS... Say fvcking what??? I thought the SEAL HUNT was banned.

I remember seeing images of the annual CANADIAN SEAL SLAUGHTER on TV. Hunters would charge around the ice on snowmobiles with clubs and beat the living shit out of these poor helpless baby seals. I know there is a whole overpopulation issue and a negative effect on the fishing industry, the thing is, the fish would be OK if the Fishermen would be over fishing. Furthermore, isn't there a more humane way to kill these poor animals. I'm sure a gun would be more effective and definitely alot quicker and potentially less painful for the seals.






You know, I started out being a supporter of the 2010 Olympics coming to Vancouver. I thought it would be a good thing. Unfortunately, as time goes on I am starting to second guess myself. It started with the stupid Pokemonesque mascots and moved rapidly into the farcical VANOC job bid process. You see, I own an alarm company and registered as a vendor. At first I received a bunch of unrelated opportunities in the UK as well as the rest of the world. After that, I received completely unrelated postings. Then the notifications stopped. VANOC phoned me asking for my email address because Emails bounced back. I gave it to them. a couple of op's came in and once again stopped. They contacted me again... apparently the screwed up the last time. I gave them the same Email address again and guess what... Not a fricken thing. I contacted Vanoc and did not get a reply. Oh well, I'm busy enough without them and taking on their jobs would inevitably have a negative effect on my regular customers.

After that, I contacted VANOC with regard to road closures and driving issues. You see, being in the service industry with customers in the vicinity of the VANOC office as well as across the street from the Olympic Village, I needed some sort of assurance I would be able to service my customers during the Olympics should the need arise. Guess what!!! They sent me back an email giving me the URL to a useless non-descript traffic plan which said "Use transit" Ya, I'm going to pack a fucking ladder on the bus.... Get a grip people.






As if those weren't reasons enough to be embarrassed by the Olympics coming to Vancouver, the Canadian Government actually passed the Bloc motion requesting SEAL FUR BE INCLUDED IN THE OLYMPIC UNIFORMS. Further to that, politicians are getting up and publicly defending their moronic decision to INCLUDE SEAL FUR IN THE CANADIAN OLYMPIC UNIFORMS FOR THE VANCOUVER 2010 WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES. Here is the story


The federal government wants Canadian Olympians to wear a seal product — most likely skin — during the 2010 Winter Games to help protest a European Union ban on Canada’s seal hunt.

Members of Parliament from all parties voted unanimously Wednesday in favour of a Bloc Quebecois motion calling on the government to come up with a way to integrate seal pelts into the athletes’ uniforms.

“With the upcoming Winter Olympics that will be in Vancouver in 2010, the government has a chance to offer some concrete action to promote seal products,” Bloc Quebec MP Raynald Blais said. “Today we are tabling a motion aimed at studying the possibility to integrate into the Canadian athletes' uniforms. Is the government ready to act to save an industry?”

Canadian Olympic Committee president Mike Chambers said adding seal products to Olympians’ gear would not only mar athletes’ performance, but politicize the Games.

“I’m used to those in the political arena wishing to attach their issues to the Olympic arena,” he said from Lausanne, Switzerland. “But this is one … that will not and cannot be allowed to occur. It’s our intent for our athletes to remain free of the politics that arises in and around the Olympic Games. The seal issue, while important, is an issue that has become politicized.”







The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games would not comment, as athletes’ uniforms are the responsibility of the Canadian Olympic Committee.

Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh was among those who supported the motion.

“It’s an industry in the Atlantic and I believe that our caucus is unanimous in supporting it,” he said.

When pressed for details, he added, “I’m not going to say anything more than what I have just said to you.”

Federal Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea said the move would signal Canada’s support of the sealing industry.

“I would imagine that the Olympic clothing is all designed and probably made by now, but I think it’s a good symbolic suggestion to add something to the outfit of our athletes. I think it would be a good statement for the Canadian sealing industry and Canada’s support of it.”

Seal skin has made high-profile appearances in the past — even on the catwalk. Inuit designers such as Elisapee Kilabuk have showcased creations as diverse as motorcycle jackets to bustiers in international shows.

Chambers said he it’s “doubtful” that the MPs wishes would make any gains.

“There are political issues all over the world,” he said. “If the IOC started allowing a patch on everyone’s uniform we’d all look like FI speed racers. Let the politics do the political thing and keep the sport to the games.”

Snow is a beautiful thing

IN THE FUCKING MOUNTAINS WHERE IT BELONGS!!!!

OK, now that I've gotten that off my chest, what is it with all these people with these 4 wheel drive SUV's that think they own the damn road.

For Christmas, I took a drive up the Coquihalla which was a hair raising experience to say the least. What really caught my attention were these assholes who seemed to think crawling up my ass on the iciest part was acceptable human behaviour. Come on people, you can't stop on a dime in this shit and your are about ready to give me a fucking Range Rover enema. As if this isn't bad enough, there is this spacial breed of dumb fuck who drive 4x4 pick-up trucks. What part in you have no weight in the back part of your truck do they not understand?

So why am I bitching about this now, on January 27th, pretty much a month after the incident? Well, I guess because I have to drive to a job site tomorrow and know what kind of crap I will be in for.

Of course, I get the last laugh when I see them in the ditch 5 miles ahead.

Let's all cry for the privacy whiners

OK, just the other day some low life dirt sucking criminal thieving gang banger was wacked by one of his own outside an upscale Downtown Vancouver Restaurant. Yes it is sad when a human life is lost regardless of how worthless the life actually is. Fact of the matter is, this guy was just released from Jail and sad to say, the city is probably a little better off with less of his kind kicking around.

The problem arises when the innocent get caught in the crossfire of criminal activity. Furthermore, regardless of who gets wacked, murder is a crime and by definition performed by criminals.

So what am I getting at with the above more than obvious statements? Well, this post really has not that much to do with the actual criminals as what we as society are or are not doing to help prevent crime.

Crime of all sorts is happening on our streets on a daily basis... if not every minute. Sure we could increase the already over taxed police force, but what would that do except put more rookie cops with stun guns out on the streets looking for non english speaking people to zap. Many in the law enforcement industry have suggested surveillance camera's in public places, sounds like a good idea to me. With camera's out in the field, there would be less need for beat cops just wandering around aimlessly looking for trouble to happen. The wondering could be done electronically saving a massive amount of tax dollars on man hours.

So what is the problem? I'll tell you what, these whiney left wing crackpot dirtbags in the civil liberties groups. Ya ok, I can see a little bit of their concern with not wanting to become a police state similar to that in George Orwell's book 1984. The thing is, these camera's are not being put in a TV in your home. They are in Public places. As a public place, there is no expectation of privacy, so what you do is always subject to being seen by someone else in the public space. This way, if some dirtbag scum 1 goes and wacks dirtbag scum 2, the police can then go and arrest dirtbag scum 1. Perfect less scum on the street.

In a more practical situation, say your grandmother is walking down the street and some scuzbag thumps her upside the head and steals her purse. Perhaps this is the scuzbags' full time profession and your Grandmother was the 6th woman he knocked down that day. Maybe this time, she bumped her head and died. Now imagine what the situation would look like if there were camera's in public places. The shithead would probably have been nabbed at the beginning of his career, thus saving your grandmothers life. Makes sense to me, sad thing is, the privacy communists don't give a fuck about your grandmothers' life because they just want to be able to pick their noses in public without being seen by a police officer monitoring a series of camera's. REAL SMART PEOPLE. Fucking assholes.

Olympic Mascot sex scandal


















Native land claim negotiations stall as native group lawyers gather to discuss how much this indiscretion will cost the White man. Chief Fuksdawhitie was quoted as saying "We are damn tired of big harry men fucking our innocent from the behind. Someone will have to pay for at least the next 100 years."





Original Story:

Explicit images of 2010 Olympic Mascots Quatchi , Sumi and Miga the Sea Bear were found posted on a known adult internet site yesterday. The images reportedly depict all three mascots performing in sexually explicit acts. When contacted by various news outlets, all three mascots declined to comment about the allegations. Additionally the IOC has stated that they have no comment until a preliminary investigation into the allegations has been performed....developing

'tis the season for crap on your lawn

There is something about this time of year which brings a nice warm feeling in the stomach, on the other side of the coin there is also this sickening feeling caused when the truly tasteless decide to get involved in their own white trash way.

I'm talking about that subclass in society who feel blow up shit from Walmart counts as festive decorations when splattered across their lawn in some meaningless design. I'm not saying I have a problem with Christmas decorations as a whole, in fact there are quite a number of beautiful displays. The problem arises when societal trash get into the game.

Living in North Delta, I have a number of neighbours who have exactly that problem. It seems to get worse with every passing year as the chinese market expands into blow up christmas lawn shit. It is almost like they take some sort of perverse pride in junking up the neighbourhood with their collection of mis-matched polypropaline christmas crap. Now instead of placing their newly found ornaments with some level of pride and forthought, they just plop it on some random empty spot of dead weed infested lawn.

I think I will drive around taking some pictures to post on here. perhaps the owners of these autrocities will get a shot of realization as they see the shit they subject the neighbourhood to from different eyes. Doubt it though.

Canadian my ASS


Further to my earlier rant. I just saw this comment from the Graphic designer who created the fur abominations we call the 2010 mascots

SURREY, British Columbia (Reuters) - Organizers of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver used animals of Canada's Pacific Coast -- both real and imaginary -- as inspiration for the three official Games mascots unveiled on Tuesday.


The mascots -- or "critters" as their designers call them -- incorporate elements from real animals such as killer whales and coastal bears with those of mythical beings such as the sasquatch and the thunderbird of Indian legend.

"We didn't really look at other (Olympic) mascots. We just wanted something that would represent Canadians," said Vicki Wong, one of the designers.



Represent Canadians.... give me a break. I am a Canadian and also live in Vancouver. I love the idea of the Olympics coming to Vancouver, however these PokeKitty cross creatures are far from anything representing Canada. For those of you who are curious, no we do not live in igloo's and that whole Inukshuk thing has nothing to do with Vancouver... well except we have a decorative on in one of our parks.

As for these "mascots" the look more like they have a heavy Asian influence, maybe this comes from the fact the designer has the last name Wong. Apparently they are supposed to represent Native culture, but what does a Chinese graphic designer know about native design??? If they really wanted to go for native culture they should have gone down to East Hastings and hired one off the sidewalk. Probably would have only cost 'em a bottle of cheap sherry to boot.

I just had to add this guys blog

Let's start this with a bang

OK, I have plenty of things that just pick my ass and this is where I'm going to vent them. Sure half the world won't give a shit, but their opinion doesn't really count now.

So it is the day after VANOC announced the mascots for the 2010 olympics here in Vancouver, Canada. For the benefit of those who are not familiar with Canada and our customs here is my rant.

1 - No we do not live in fucking igloo's
2 - The inucshuk (or however the fuck it is spelled) does not represent ANYTHING British Columbia. It is purely an Eskimo thing.... Oh ya it is politically incorrect to call them Eskimo's They are Innuit.

3 - That brings up another thing about Canadian... We are a bunch of politically correct pansy assed pussies who are afraid to stand for what we believe in. Hense the relacement of Christmas celebrations with Fucking Diwali.

4 - Oh ya speaking of the total lack of culture, check out these creatures we call mascots. Apparently the bastard spawn of Pokemon and Hello Kitty with a spashing of what is supposed to be Indian (North American) is supposed to represent what we are all about. At least the Touque wearing beer belly adorning Marmot named Muck Muck (Which also means Cum) represents a little but of what we are about. But of course he only plays 4th fiddle to the Pokekitty spawn. I guess that is what they get for hiring a designer with the last name Wong.

5 - Oh ya, if that wasn't enough to make every Canadian shake their heads in disbelief, Quatchi is slang for Horny. A combination of Quivering and Crotch, Quatchi is the quivering feeling you get in your crotch when you get sexually excited. OK, at least that is abit funny.

6 - Since when is this the aboriginal games? I think that is what we are calling them now, when I was a kid it was drunks (At least the ones I knew of.) Yes it is unfortunate stereotypes happen, fact of the matter is, VANOC is making things worse by emphasing differences in cultures. Personally, I feel all humans should be treated equal... except of course crackheads, criminals, pedofiles and politicians.




OK, my blood pressure is high enough, time for me to get off the toilet and get to work.
