The Onion x Toronto [MEDIA]



The free satirical U.S. newspaper The Onion hit Toronto newsstands today, bringing along its wry humour and spin on current events. Partnering with The A.V Club Toronto, the weekly paper will have 50,000 copies at 600 locations across the city.

This is the first time The Onion is publishing outside the United States, and Steve Hannah, president and CEO of Onion, Inc., calls it the ideal fit. “It’s an obvious choice,” said Hannah in a telephone interview. “Toronto is a cosmopolitan, sophisticated, hip, cool town. It’s a music town. The film festival, we’ve been covering it for years.”

No you’ll have something cool to read while you’re riding our underfunded public transit system all over town.

Nike MAG: Marty McFly's For Parkinsons Cure [SNEAKERS]


The NIKE MAG is no longer the “greatest shoe never made.” The mythical shoe that originally captured the imagination of audiences in Back to the Future II is being released – and they’re here to help create a future without Parkinson’s disease.

1500 pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG will be auctioned on eBay with all net proceeds going directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Each day for the duration of the ten-day auction, one hundred and fifty pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG shoes will be made available via eBay’s Fashion Vault. The auction started September 8, 8:30PM PST, and will end September 18. Thanks to a previous 50 million dollar match given to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, all donations will be matched, effectively doubling the contributions from the auction.

The original NIKE MAG was worn by the Back to the Future character Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, in the year 2015. It came alive, lit up and formed to Marty’s foot. The 2011 NIKE MAG shoe was designed to be a precise replica of the original from Back to the Future II. The aesthetic is an exact match, down to the contours of the upper, the glowing LED panel and the electroluminescent NIKE in the strap. The 2011 NIKE MAG illuminates with the pinch of the “ear” of the high top, glowing for five hours per charge.

FOX Presents: Allen Gregory [TELEVISION]


"Allen Gregory" (not be confused with Toronto based bespoke fashion brand Gregory Allen) is the 7 year old brainchild of Jonah Hill and friends premièring on FOX as part of their new fall line up. Jonah provides the voice of the young Sir Gregory, who is a precocious 7-year-old forced to adapt to life in a public school after his rich, flamboyantly gay father falls on tough times. Off the strength of the awesomeness that is Superbad, I'm interested to see if this picks up steam. If the preview is any indication, it will be along the lines of no holds barred hilarity. Allen Gregory premieres October 30th at 8:30/7:30c on FOX.

Streets of Monaco Yacht [LUXURY]


I initially contemplated the theme "[RAUTICAL]" for this post. It seemed fitting as this is a rather radical nautical concept. Imagine you're yacht designed to a tee, as a recreation of your favourite city on earth. Now let's say your favourite city on earth was Monaco. With price tag of about $1Billion, your private city on the sea consists to scale constructions of the Monte Carlo Casino, Hotel de Paris, Cafe de Paris, as well as the Grand Prix course, functioning as a go-kart course on the deck of this 500-foot watercraft. Other features include multiple swimming pools, a multi-use court for basketball and tennis that doubles as a helipad, a submarine, an interior "oasis" area, space for up to 16 guests and 70 staff members, a spa, and, of course, a swim-up jacuzzi bar. I'd like to sit down with the designer and create the city of Shangri-La.

It is definitely not as ornamental as traditional pipes, but there is something to be said about it's Howard Roarke-sque modernism. The hookah stands roughly 22 inches tall, and features a long flexible tube made out of TecFlex material. Nothing bust the best from Porsche Designs.

I expect Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man. [EDITORIAL]


No matter which conclusion you draw after reading this well articulated, yet scathingly brilliant open letter to the women of Toronto. You will agree either way that it's not exclusive to the city of Toronto. Men vs. Women is a battle that is seemingly eternal, and undoubtedly universal. It is very to easy to imagine Adam saying "...tell me something I don't know." after reading this in regards to Eve. The title of the post; I expect Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man. A quote by English poet and novelist George Meredith, in my opinion is as apt as they come, and sets the tone for the read below.

The women of Toronto are prostitutes. They only care about money and status. The most attractive women sell themselves to the highest bidders.

You hardly meet any attractive single women in Toronto because they are afraid their friends will look down on them – it’s a status thing. That’s why a woman in Toronto will hold on to her boyfriend, even if he’s a total douchebag, rather than stay single. She’ll only leave him when she’s got another guy lined up – it’s called the monkey bar. Only the uglies, the fatties, and the crazies who are unable to hold on to a token man are left on the market. Enjoy shopping for damaged goods.

In the bars and in the clubs, women get together with their friends to dance with their backs to the crowd, not to meet single men. They’ve already brought their asshole boyfriends (you know the ones, the guys who shoved you aside to let their group push through the crowd into your spot) and they’re going to have a good time and ignore everybody else. The “creeps” and seduction masters hover on the periphery. It’s the T-dot Shore – no wonder they wanted to film a show here – the animals at the watering hole are so obliging.

Toronto women are not looking to meet men anywhere other than in their narrowly-defined time and place – the bitch-face is on all-day, every day until Saturday night, when the few, desperate remaining single women will drunkenly sleep with a douchebag or a hipster selling a slick line of unlikely bullshit. In the revealing light of day, they hide what they’ve done and complain to their bitchy girlfriends about their asshole boyfriends and lament, “there aren’t any good men out there.”

Men, if you want to meet decent women, don’t look here. The women here are well-dressed cunts and you’re better off without them.

There is a serious problem in this city. Women here are severely dysfunctional, to the degree that they are making life miserable, both for themselves and for the men around them. The typical Toronto woman is a graceless, mindless byproduct of modern feminism, who vehemently believes what she has been taught since she was old enough to listen: that she is a beautiful enigma — an enchanting yin-yang of unimpeachable virtue, and endearing imperfection. She is cripplingly vain, yet deeply insecure. She speaks too much, and too loudly, and is oblivious to her own banality. She has slept with far too many men to be considered relationship material, because she knows nothing about herself, about men, or about love itself.

As men, we see it every day. Toronto women walk around as if they did not notice men were present. They talk on their phones on the streetcars as if in their living rooms, airing the weekend’s dirty laundry in loud, irritating voices. They become perversely absorbed in their reflections in elevators, or even shop windows. They do not move for anyone on the sidewalks. They stomp around with anything from subtle sourness to outright mannish aggression. They believe that modesty, class and decorum are antiquated, sexist notions, and therefore behave in the extreme opposite manner.

This is the monster that feminism has created. It’s inescapable in this city — it has infected public education, parenting, psychology, television, universities, and all forms of social expression to the point where its effects can be observed in body language alone. Canada in particular is one of the most feminized countries in the world, and Toronto is the flagship of its ugly paradigm. Look at any TV show, any radio commercial, any magazine (for men or women), and the message is the same. Men are pathetic, bumbling fetch-dogs, and women save the day with their finesse, poise, confidence, etc. A woman is told by a million voices in every direction, every day, that she is a Venus, an unsolvable mystery that should be worshipped because she is, apparently, every conceivable contradiction of character, co-existing in one divine shell. Delicate, yet strong. Meek, yet self-possessed. Sexy, yet pure. The list is never-ending. Every action a woman takes, every minor hardship or imagined struggle, is painted as an epic crusade for Womankind.

Have you noticed how many Seduction Artists originate from Toronto? Who is to blame for these moronic cheeseballs, with their theories and techniques on how to beat women at their own game? Their twisted tactics are employed by men who are baffled and bewildered by women’s general and unaccountable antipathy towards men, but who would rather adopt a phony, carefully constructed persona to get women than throw in the towel. More of us, however, have just stopped flirting with Toronto women, and are spending what are meant to be the best years of our lives bitterly navigating the atmosphere of sexual combativeness that pervades this city like a fog.

Some of us seem to be catching on, despite being brought up to revere women by default. Like Pavlov’s dog, experience is teaching us that beneath their tenuous sexual appeal, Toronto women are overwhelmingly devoid of substance, character, humility, and intelligence, and are much too narcissistic to tolerate for more than a one-night stand. Most know nothing of love, how to love, or how to be loved, and their lives are spiraling out of reality into the house of mirrors which has been constructed for them by the industries of fashion and cosmetics.

Women of Toronto — feminism has failed you. You direly need to rediscover your sexual identities from the ground up, because you are destroying the bond between men and women which is the foundation of the world. You can use any manner of defense you wish — call me bitter, misogynistic, whiny, old-fashioned — whatever. I know the truth about you, as many men do, as you yourselves will bitterly have to face when you inevitably realize that what you hold dear only serves to make you unhappy. Learn how to be feminine, to think for yourselves, to compliment men instead of compete with them. Tear down the disgusting sham, the epidemic doctrine that says men and women are the same, and please stop reading magazines altogether. Realize that the cavernous rift between us is complete fiction, and is mostly intended to keep our wallets empty. We will do our part, as men, if you simply let us.

"Greatness, is a different definition to different people..."

Sure, Tyler The Creator utilizes the word "Fuck" frequently but behind that exterior is a free-spirit representing the collective group "Odd Future" better known as "Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All". Behind his vulgarity the interview lies a deep message of progression and self-validation.

"I'm hungry for VMA's & Grammy's, that's my main goal....Fuck this underground bullshit"

MOOZ-lum [TRAILER]



A story about a Muslim boy who comes of age against a politically charged 9/11 backdrop, with deep personal and familial traumas to overcome, and a search for identity that must reconcile his own difficult history with his new changed reality.

With battle of modernity being waged everyday, and the incessant cultural insensitivity made more and more obvious (whether it be religious or otherwise), it's nice to find films that offer up reason as part of their perspective. A reminder that our social truths must transcend our culture.

Mooz-lum Stars Evan Ross, Nia Long, Danny Glover, Roger Guenveur Smith, Summer Bishil & Dorian Missick. It's in limited release so, demand it in your city.

Pusha T - "Fear Of God" [MIXTAPE]

One half of my favourite rap duo; The Clipse, Pusha T puts forth his first complete offering as a solo artist. The mixtape is starkly titled “Fear of God”, and the flow is very Tony Starks... if Tony Starks sold dope instead of arms.

The Hangover 2 [TRAILER]



Fat Jesus and the gang are at it again! I’ve never looked forward to a hangover so much in my life... that being said;

I’d like to…I’d like to say something…something I prepared. Tonight…

Hello,

How about that ride in? I guess that’s why they call it Sin City (hahaha)

You guys may not know this, but I consider myself…a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So were two…so there was two of us in the pack. I…I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later.

And 6 months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys. I thought…wait a second, could it be. And now I know for sure, I just added 2 more guys to my wolf pack. 4 of us wolves running around the desert together, in Las Vegas looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, we make a toast!
