New advertisers!

One is Xtreme Right Wing which is a blog with cool merchandise.

Another is for the film "Michael Moore Hates America" which I've mentioned before. It's supposed to be an excellent film about how documentaries can be used to manipulate viewers and also about how great the county of America is. Ebert and Roeper gave it two thumbs up (and you know liberal Ebert is - he gave Fahrenheit 911 three and a half stars out of four). I pre-ordered my copy and you should do the same (I'll put up a review after I see it).

BTW, found this neat factoid from Ebert's site:

Q. In your Ebert & Roeper review of Michael Wilson's "Michael Moore Hates America," you blurted out an erroneous opinion, expressing your doubts about the film's claim that the Canadian crime rate is double the U.S. rate.

I checked with www.statcan.ca, listed as "the official source for Canadian social and economic statistics and products," and with the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics. The bottom line: These sites agree with Wilson's assertion that crime in Canada is much worse than in the USA.

James Elias, Highland Ranch, Colo.

A. Astonishing. For the year 2003, per 100,000 population, Canada had 8,530 crimes, and the U.S. 4,267. For crimes of violence, 958 vs. 523. For property crimes, 4,275 vs. 3,744. Michael Wilson, director of the film, tells me: "There was originally a comedic segment in the film that attributed this to the proliferation of Tim Horton's doughnut franchises, but I could not make it work."

Remember to check out all IMAO advertisers; it shows great character.

First! Also, you get more money when we click the ads, right?

Guess I'm just the first loser...

I think their crime rates are so bad because their money looks funny and isn't worth very much. Therefore the criminals have to steal more of it for it to be worth their time.

#2 - Posted by: Outback_Jon on November 18, 2004 09:21 PM

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that unarmed citizens equals more victims.Ebert went to college,didn't he? But he still wanted to argue the statistics that even a blind man could see?Ah well,anyone who willingly disarms themselves deserves to be a victim.

#3 - Posted by: Moe on November 18, 2004 09:25 PM

See? One more reason for us to liberate Canada and civilize those savages up north.

#4 - Posted by: Tim E on November 18, 2004 09:37 PM

I have been to British Columbia several times in the past year. Every time I return from there I have dreams of Rumsfeld directing shock and awe in downtown Vancouver...

...Seriously, if someone imports a Tim Horton's franchise into America, it would give Krispy Kreme a run for it's money.

#5 - Posted by: The REAL Scott on November 18, 2004 11:09 PM

Haha... I just go puppy blendered and I'm directing his readers to first puppy blender post...

Yeah, welcome to MY WORLD, Mr. Reynolds.

#6 - Posted by: Editor on November 19, 2004 12:09 AM

I'd check out the new advertiser, but I pre-ordered MMHA weeks ago.

Of course, if you get money just because people click on the ads, I'll visit your sponsors. Then, I'll start my own blog...

#7 - Posted by: Guncrazy on November 19, 2004 12:47 AM

There's a Tim Horton's about an hour from here in West Virginia. Along with Krispy Kreme it's donuts can't hold a candle to the mom and pop place down the road.

#8 - Posted by: Gunhaver on November 19, 2004 12:48 AM

Michael Moore *does* hate America. Anybody who says that we should be "more like Canada" obviously doesn't have our best interests at heart.

Looking forward to receiving my own copy of the DVD in the mail. Great to see them advertising on your site.

#9 - Posted by: Anson on November 19, 2004 01:03 AM

You gotta paste your entry into the exerpt section too so i can read the whole thing on my bloglines.com!

#10 - Posted by: Faith on November 19, 2004 01:19 AM

Anyone who makes fun of Tim's dies at my hand, for one(though it's owned by Wendy's, and they're slowly spreading it south, so we'll enlighten the rest of you one of these days). Also, it's important to note that the US has about twice Canada's rate of murders - a lower crime rate, yes, but there are tradeoffs on the guns vs. crime scale. I still like my gun freedom, and you guys do have better ways of doing things on that than Canadians, but keep your eyes open, it's not an open-and-shut vase from crime analysis.

#11 - Posted by: Alsadius on November 19, 2004 01:51 AM

Hey, guys. If you want to pay witness to a snuff film that basically totally makes kicking Iraq's ass okay, check out "Buried in the Sand." Not for the weak of heart. Just look for it on Amazon.com

#12 - Posted by: Jack on November 19, 2004 03:25 AM

Hmmm...almost double the crime rate heh, maybe it's the long wait for health care.

#13 - Posted by: Laura on November 19, 2004 05:27 AM

Editor,
You're a good cult member. You shall be rewarded.

#14 - Posted by: Frank J. on November 19, 2004 06:24 AM

Then tell ur advertisers to buy more bandwidth. I tried to go to xtremerightwing, but their site loads slower than urs :P

#15 - Posted by: Yogurt on November 19, 2004 07:40 AM

I wonder if Ebert will give your Happy Dance a Thumbs-Up? Oh wait.....what Happy Dance???? Grrrr.....

#16 - Posted by: jonag on November 19, 2004 11:00 AM

I clicked on the xtremerightwing add and it loaded right away. xtremerightwing is a great site with great ideas.

fac-toid (fak'toid) n.

1. A piece of unverified or inaccurate information that is presented in the press as factual, often as part of a publicity effort, and that is then accepted as true because of frequent repetition: “What one misses finally is what might have emerged beyond both facts and factoids: a profound definition of the Marilyn Monroe phenomenon” (Christopher Lehmann-Haupt).

2. Usage Problem. A brief, somewhat interesting fact.

Frank J. - I look to you for leadership in leading the effort to correct the rampant misuse of this peripatetically misunderstood noun by the MSM.

#18 - Posted by: jaime cincocentavos on November 19, 2004 02:27 PM

Maybe Tim Horton's should start giving out free guns, like that bank in Flint, Michigan.

#19 - Posted by: Brian Tiemann on November 19, 2004 03:08 PM

Blogging is the next generation of the Internet. If you've got something to say that interests somebody else, by golly, then there you have it! It's not about search engine rank or advertising, either. It's about word-of-mouse, and presentation. More here
