linkie o’ the day: worst vlogs of 2006

Just what it says, 10ZenMonkeys‘ list of the very worst video blogs of the year, which I think I stole from BoingBoing but I don’t remember because hey, it’s the holidays and I’m wasted on strong tea and cold medicine.

I’d have left Ze Frank off the list(see comments below), because I’m a big mean nasty snarker myself and I support and appreciate that, but to each his/her own. On some of these, we are as of one mind. I know Border Collies with four or five times the qualifications of Amanda Congdon. But the Dogs Barking in Cars vlog is amusing, although one example would more than suffice, ya’d think.

Amanda Congdon’s new show is the equivalent of deciding that Lite Beer isn’t bland enough, and asking for a LITE lite beer. Is it unfair to compare Amanda Congdon’s new video blog to footage of dogs barking in cars? No — because I hate it that much.

See below: this one is FIVE times as qualified as she is!

I count eight...

A Downtown EastSide Christmas

Ho, ho, hotels all over the Downtown EastSide keep Christmas in their own unique ways. Unlike the Chinese restaurants that simply layer new tinsel over the old and leave the whole spangly mess up all year round, the hotels and flophouses, to be fair, do try to get into the spirit of things at the time, each in its own way.

The Patricia, flyer of the Red Ensign, bastion of respectability, old-fashioned refinement, microbrewed house beer, and sad old run-down gentlemen who still stand when a lady walks into the pub:

The Patricia, Ho, ho, ho!

 

The Drake, a somewhat different establishment:

The Drake and its hos.

Snow Globe Warning!

This is sheer brilliance! Unfortunately, as Gawker reports, it’s not an actual sign but an ad, an ad which Entertainment Weekly refuses to run, thus endangering at least 50% of Hollywood over the holiday season. I wonder how long before some wag at Whistler puts these up just for the hell of it?

Snowglobes: no laughing matter! Betcha anything Canadian Tire will be stocking Therma-Curves before the winter is out.
