OBESE Awards

So, 2006 went by pretty fast. A lot of memories.

2006
Category: Film
Action/Adventure: Mission: Impossible III
It was pretty good despite a crazy man being the protagonist.

Animation: Madagascar
Hilarious, Ice Age 2 was almost as good but I loved Madagascar.

Comedy: Borat
No contest.

Horror: Didn't really watch any except for Hostel, which was disgusting.

Thriller/Suspense: Didn't really watch any unless The Davinci Code counts, but it sucked.

Actor: Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat)
That guy is hilarious, he is a great actor, I don't know how he can keep a straight face when being Borat.

Actress: Meryl Streep (The Devil Wears Prada)
I think The Devil Wears Prada is the only movie I saw this year with a female actress that acted well.

Best Motion Picture: Borat
Nothing compares to this movie.

Category: Sports

Best Reality Show: The Amazing Race 9

This can record directly from the TV and plays mp3s, video, and has a huge screen as well as a long battery life and some intense features (I wish I had one)

2007

Turning 16 and being able to get a driver's license (Stupid kk and his low driver's license age in Alberta)
Possibly getting a Wii

And now courtesy New Years courtesy of Family Guy (supposed to be for 2000):


From the people at OBESE: HAPPY 2007

Funny/Christmas/Old Skool Commercials

Update: I am now having smaller videos so that the page takes less time to load
Wow, such a hard choice: PS3 vs. Wii Apple Style
"I am large and in charge!"

A McDonalds Christmas commercial from 1980's:

Some random funny Christmas Commercial from some Vancouver TRAVEL AGENCY (too bad I don't have a dog!)

In the News

Politics:
Stephane Dion makes Michael Ignatieff deputy leader of the Liberal party.

Mayor O'Brien promised tax freezes are dead, gone right out the window. (I told you so!)

Sports:
Basketball:
It doesn't pay to fight:
Carmelo Anthony and a whole lot of other people got into a brawl and are now suspended up to 15 days and the clubs are facing $500,000 fines.

Football:

World Cup + Player of the Year:

Italian captain, winner of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, part of the Real Madrid lineup of superstars... and now FIFA Player of the Year.This person if Fabio Cannavaro. Runner ups in second and third were Zidane and Ronaldinho.

Movie:
Rocky VI

Sylvester Stallone, the guy who taught people about Roman Numerals who is now in his 60's is making a comeback, holy crap, this guy is strong, he literally got KO'd filming the movie. This movie is just titled Rocky Balboa (No Roman Numerals), opens tomorrow, seems like a good movie (Rocky V sucked)

Christmas...

No....Why does it have to be so dark? I was having fun shooting hoops although it's 4 days from officially being winter!
So, it's exactly the week before Christmas, for Christians this is the time to celebrate when Jesus was born (I'm not too good at religion stuff). What I don't get is why people exchange gifts on some else's birthday. I guess that's something for me to find out over the holidays.

Now...Family Guy Christmas (22 Minutes Full Episode)
Ignore the first minute (ish)


Also, have you ever wanted to download a video off Youtube or any other site?
Well... Now you can, all you need is Firefox! Yes, I transfered from IE7 to FF.

First go here and download


Then, go here and install

Now, just go to any video site and use this. Icon on bottom right.

Idiots! (My opinion)

Yes, I have a huge range of emotions...
*No offence to Your Worship Mayor O'Brian (That's his actual title) or to the Ottawa City Councillors, please do not sue*
*Mature content/language, reader discretion is advised*
The mayor of Ottawa and the city councillors are fucking idiots. I mean why the fuck would you amend the fucking light rail plan so that the projected ridership goes down and you only save 70/700+ million? One of the fucking most important parts of the whole project was the downtown connection. Now that both the provincial and federal governments pulled out of the fucking project, he decides to have a vote on cancelling it. Why the fuck would you do that? You waste the fucking taxpayers money on cancelling the project and you risk getting sued by Siemens for not meeting the fucking contract (the lawsuit is at least 200 million). SO, BOTTOM LINE, MAYOR O'BRIEN PROMISED TAX FREEZES, NOT GOING TO FUCKING HAPPEN!

One of the biggest reasons why I'm so pissed is because my family pays municipal taxes (ie Property tax), but we can't fucking vote so we didn't even get a choice in the election. So, this multimillionare turned politician is wasting our fucking money on something we didn't even get a say on. There is something wrong with that. I think he should pay the lawsuit by selling his fucking company, and slowly paying it back using his own money. I actually think my family can sue him, at least that's what their lawyer friend says.
