Pepperpot: What We've Been Talking About

  • A "classy" move by CityTV as they fire one of their most popular on-air celebrities, weatherman icon Harold Hosein. He was set to return to work after a vacation and was told not to bother coming back to CityTV. The channel didn't acknowledge the change or his leaving on-air. What the hell is going on at CHUM? Should Mark Dailey watch his back? Hosein has hired a lawyer to ensure that contracts haven't been violated by this move. I hope he's back on air someplace soon, I loved the Trinidadian meteorologist's reports from Caribana.

  • South Koreans flip for cool phones according to Globe and Mail: "Having latest model is a national obsession". They (and me) also flip for Korean bathrooms with their heated toilet seats and etiquette bells. Warm buns baby.

  • Boing Boing: Stephen Colbert's "World of Colbertcraft": "'Stephen Colbert did a short bit for the MI6 game marketing conference this week in San Francisco, talking about his upcoming game World of Colbertcraft "" Link

    Firing Mr. Hosein was a complete and utter JOKE.

    I used to have mad respect for CITY TV. NOT ANYMORE.
