Jimmy Kimmel has done several bits that we featured involving celebrities reading mean tweets about them. He has expanded on this, but taken it to Kenya. Kimmel has a friend at CTC International, which is a company that helps educate...
Okay, so there’s been a shitload of news about Beyonce singing (or not singing) for US President Barack Obama’s inauguration this week. Frankly, I didn’t care enough to type out a sentence about it (present post excluded), so if you...
This is the second straight week of Friday Afternoon Funnies involving Twitter. I’m going to have to go check it out and see what Twitter actually is. Just kidding – all of you smart readers are already following @PeteHatesMusic on...
Jimmy Kimmel did this excellent segment that we featured a couple of times (first time!, second time!) where celebrities read out the mean tweets directed at them on Twitter, while we hide our acne-scarred butts faces behind our fancy Mac...
This is 40 is the latest life/romance crisis comedy from Judd Apatow, who has nailed (and repeated) the formula of somewhat dirty comedy mixed with relatable dysfunctional relationship issues. The movie stars Paul Rudd as a man who turns 40...
Everyone needs a gimmick in order to help sell stuff. Think “Ice Cold Beer Man” at Toronto Blue Jays games (before he got fired, that is). Earlier this year when I was living in London, I was passed a video...

Toronto’s favourite son, Drake, has been killing it commercially the past few years. But what if everything you thought you knew about Drake was wrong? What if he was actually born in an English seaside town? Drake is Plymouth, and...
Hurricane Sandy was the major news story this week, and she created a lot of damage to New York City and its surrounding areas. Concerts were cancelled, Paul Banks played a song on David Letterman to an audience of 0...
Jimmy Kimmel likes deceiving stupid people. It probably isn’t too hard in his neck of the woods, which makes this segments great. When Apple launch the iPhone 5, Jimmy Kimmel took the old iPhone 4S to the streets, told people...
A German fellow was hoping to make a splash – literally – for his band’s video. I am actually not entirely sure what is happening due to my German being limited to “wiener schnitzel” and “prost”. Basically, a guy from...
Kickstarter is a pretty good way to get the public to fund your possibly brilliant ideas. PHM has showcased many products on this site, such as the 21st Century Polaroid, the Instacube pitcure frame, and the flowerpot speaker, Bloombox. We...
