What's interesting Connie is that we've traditionally a three-party country, and it's often been the NDP that's been that third party. Now the third party is much diminished, and people are wondering if we'll become a two-party country.
Zoe: So you two were kissin'? Book: Well. Isn't that... special?

If I looked that good, I'd skip politics and go right into Hollywood.
Ha! Actor was one of his many careers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
New York Names Nissan Van ‘Taxi of Tomorrow’
The Taxi of Tomorrow looks like an appliance, gets 25 mpg and features antimicrobial non-stick upholstery that resembles leather.
Love it or hate it, the streets of New York will be awash in these things within a decade. Nissan has won an exclusive 10-year contract to provide taxis to the city that never sleeps, a deal said to be worth more than $1 billion. That’s billion with a “b,” and if it seems like a lot of dough remember that there are 13,200 cabs roaming the streets of Gotham.
...
Although the NV200 doesn’t look nearly so cool as the Checker Marathon or nearly as tough as the Crown Vic, city officials said it is roomier and far more fuel-efficient. The Vic, which comprises roughly 90 percent of the fleet, gets about 12 mpg.
Kinda ugly, but getting twice the mileage of a Crown Victoria is cool....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Orangina furry ad. Not strictly safe for anything.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
What. The hell. Was that?
I hope next time I'm offered an Orangina, I can repress the memory of that one.

It's amazing how much wrongness they managed to cram into that video....
eta: Also, female peacocks don't have those colorful tail feathers.

Yes, tommy, that's the factual takeaway from that video.
I thought I knew which ad was the Orangina furry ad. But that's only the other Orangina furry ad. And, so help me god, that one guy is sexy.
But he's a guy! Even if he would never look at me...

Well, I figured "animals don't have human boobs" was too obvious to mention.

But not even a "only mammals have boobs" or anything? It's like..I don't even know.

That too.
But really, the wrongness is just too much to catalog completely.
