Critical Mass = Ignorant Mass

The Critical Mass has a noble goal of making our cities more bicycle friendly, with more bike lanes, and better safety for bikes, as well as courteous sharing of the roads between motorists and bikers. However it seems that the original purpose has been tainted by the moronic, selfish, unpractical, and pathetic mob-like method of execution. Here I will discuss very candidly, and offensively, why, as a proud car-driving yuppie, (who also likes to ride the bike) think the Critical Mass is an unintelligent mass protest that has to stop for the good of everybody.

I recently experienced the agony that drivers go through when attempting to drive through downtown in the early evening on the last Friday of each month. I have had conversations with two absolutely idiotic supporters of the Critical Mass (their responses were unintelligent, illogical, and that of a passive left-wing union mongers who tend to spend their lives complaining against the system for their lack of well-being), and I have gathered my thoughts on it.

Let me list a few research results and study results I actually read in reputable newspapers with credible sources. These researches have been published by universities, labs, and other public organizations.

A T-Rex could outrun soccer player David Beckham.
I coud have told you that off the top of my head considering the T-Rex has a leg span that’s a few times longer than David Beckham’s height, AND the T-Rex, after all, was a carnivore hunter. We’re not comparing an elephant with David. It’s a predator we’re talking about.
When patients are diagnosed …

Several years ago I was driving down a road which was somewhat curvy here and there. On the overpass walkway was a beautiful young brunette. Well, I say “young” but she was probably over 20, and I was 17 at the time. I stared at her, and the next thing I know, I almost bit the curve. It was coming right up so I had to quickly steer my car to NOT end up in the ditch.
I was sitting at a cafe, doing work on my laptop, drinking a freshly-ordered …

I was reading my daily fix of the National Post the other day, and a small article caught my attention.
Men : lost in the supermarket
U.S. [also applies to Canada just the same] me are doing more grocery shopping, both for themselves and their families, but retailers are still not doing much to make the trip any more enticing, retail consultants and industry experts say.
“Men do represent a large part of grocery shopping dollars and they aren’t being very well accommodated.  Sales are being lost,” said Mandy Putnam, vice-president at consulting …

I am hereby making a motion to make a certain degree of standards on odour to allow for admittance in to buildings and other public places that are NOT in open air.
The background behind this is :
I often work out of Blenz Cafe because they have free wireless internet and a great atmosphere. It is pretty much my second or third office.
A few days ago I was there working, burning the late-night oil at around 10:30 or so. I suddenly noticed a severe odour, mainly of cigarettes blended with body …

I never truly acknowledged the threats of identity theft until now, as I became a victim to it. Here’s what happened on Saturday night.
I went to the ATM to get some cash. Saturday nights are the guys’ night out at the bar etc., so I need cash obviously. I couldn’t take the money out – it said transaction limit exceeded. I usually don’t even use my debit card let alone take cash out – I’m the credit card swiper at all times. So anyhow I went to check my balance, …

I usually don’t do the whole restaurant review thing – I just go there and enjoy my food with my friends or by myself, and I couldn’t be bothered to take my camera everywhere. So you probably won’t ever see me telling you about what restaurant was fabulous. But as marketers all understand, 1 bad experience will impact the business much more than series of positive influences, and I intend to exert that force to use.
I went to the Elbow Room which is on the corner of Davie st. and …
