Why is a German ad being shot in...Toronto?
Say It With Your Project
In case anyone's wondering, this seems to have been shot in and around Toronto, Canada.
Injured Soccer Player Healed By Magic
Also needs a *Canada tag for Toronto FC and Montreal Impact.
Munenori Kawasaki says: "Just have fun and enjoy the game"
Man, after that, he is 100% trolling the Toronto sports media. Which I love to see, because the TO sports media is dumb as dirt.
Sage advice on how to prevent cramping
I still hold the dream that he speaks perfect English, and is just trolling sports media in Toronto. I hope with all hopes that this is true. =)
Munenori Kawasaki mastering the English language
Kawasaki is the best, he has an infectious personality. I'm also convinced he speaks perfect English and is just trolling the media. Not the best baseball player, but the Toronto fans love him. =)
Needs a *canada tag.

Meshuggah Face of Wall Street
*promote Meshuggah 25th Anniversary TOUR!!
Meshuggah announce 25th anniversary tour around Bonnaroo, asking fans to vote on their setlists (dates)

Meshuggah at the Roseland Ballroom, 2013 (more by Fred Pessaro)
Meshuggah
Few metal bands survive for 25 consecutive years, and even fewer retain a reputation for consistency over such a long period the way Meshuggah have. We already knew that the Swedish djent progenitors were slotted to play this year's edition of Bonnaroo in June, filling the bad-trip-inducement slot that Swans occupied last year. Unsurprisingly, they've also announced a short North American tour built around that date and their ensuing appearance at Quebec's Amnesia Rock Fest. The tour is being billed as a 25th-anniversary celebration for the band, and it also includes Between the Buried & Me on its non-festival dates. Meshuggah are also holding a poll in which fans can help the band decide what their set list will include by voting for one song from each album in their catalog.
The tour will hit NYC on 6/21 at Best Buy Theater. Tickets for that show haven't gone on sale yet, but keep an eye out. In the meantime, enjoy a live video (of mosh action, natch) from Meshuggah's last NYC appearance and check out the full set of dates below...

Health Care: U.S. vs. Canada
Lived in Ontario (28 years), Brisbane, Australia (5 years), Alberta (7 years), and now Texas (14 years).
Agree with pretty much with Boneremake on Alberta, gets more points than Ontario. My Australian experience was good, in both the city and rural (blew an eardrum due to infection in Longreach QLD at Xmas... the doctor was drunk when they wheeled him into emerg, but he was a gentle, caring drunk).
Small things in Ontario are manageable - anything requiring stuff beyond typical emergency room patching up in more rural locations (my definition - anywhere far enough from Toronto that you can't see the nighttime glow, so north of Newfenmarket sort of) is quite lacking (v. long wait times for things like weekly dialysis, MRI, even open MRI, GI tract scoping, ultrasounds, contrast X-rays etc). Parental unit #1 with diabetes requiring 3 times a week dialysis almost snuffed it as there were only 4 chairs in the unit 14 miles from home, got on the list and had to wait for someone to die before getting on the team. Finally snuffed it when they shut down these 4 chairs and the new unit was now a 90 mile round trip 3 times a week for man who could barely walk or see. Died from exhaustion, not diabetes. 2nd parental unit needs an MRI for some serious GI issues, can't keep food down, losing weight rapidly. Wait 4.5 months and we'll see if we can get you in. I'm having her measured for the box.
Having said that, the situation is easier to describe in Texas, the land of excess (excessive wealth and excessive poverty).
Good health insurance plan, preferably through employer with lots of employees = wait times for advanced procedures measured usually in minutes or hours, sometimes days, but not weeks or months. You get taken care of, and your birthing room at the local maternity ward looks like the Marriott (just Couryard though, so no mini-bar or microwave).
Mediocre or no health insurance plan = pray you never get sick enough to require more than what you can buy at the CVS or splint up by watching do-it-yourself first aid videos on youtube, because an unplanned night in the hospital or a trip to emerg in the short bus with swirly lights followed by admission can, for many, wipe them out or sure eat up Bobby's college fund. No exaggeration. I have insurance, but for a reference point, one night in hospital (elective) for a turbinectomy (google it people) including jello and ice cream came in at $14,635. Yes, one night. 24 hours. Do the math. An emergency room visit for a forearm cut requiring 13 stitches (and I didn't even bleed on their white sheets - just cut through the skin to the fat tissue) was billed at $2,300 bucks. Our new baby tried to exit the meatbag as a footling breach, so emergency C-sectioned him out, and one extra night in hospital (2 in total) - all up, billed at just shy of $24K. We now have 3 full service hospitals within 5 miles of our house, and a full service children's hospital in the same radius. And they just started building another. Somebody's making money. If you don't have insurance, or your insurance is shitty (huge deductibles, huge copays) you will eat much of these types of costs. Rule: cheaper to die than get sick.
Ontario and AB might have longer wait times, but even an 83 year old woman in a rural Ontario village with no pension, insurance, income or large stacks of cash can (eventually) get the health care she needs without spending unjustifiable amounts of money. Happy birthday mom.
My 2¢
Rick Mercer Rant - Canadian Weather (Standup Talk Post)
I got stuck in the Toronto airport last week. My connecting flight was cancelled due to it being too cold... in Canada... for Canadians... to work... at the airport...
Jon Stewart Covers Bridgegate - Chris Christie Scandal
@nock I may not trust him but as a liberal I like him for the most part. Insofar as he hangs out with a black president, even though mobs want him burned for that (See Florida for our racism and complete destruction of our prior Governor.)
He taint good, that's for sure. But he taint Bush, Toronto's gov'nor, or Rudolph...

I think the word you're looking for is schadenfreude, but I see what you did there.. a little Fordian slip.
