Happy Canada Day, everyone! To celebrate, we’ve put together a ton of CFL cheerleaders for your viewing pleasure. Now, there’s no question the NFL usually kicks the crap out of Canada’s CFL. With only eight teams in the entire league, it’s just not a fair fight. But regardless of their shortcomings, our pig skin-loving brothers to the North still know how to pick their cheerleaders. From the Montreal Alouettes to the BC Felions, these spirit-filled hotties can really warm up a crowd. And with the Conference Semifinals having wrapped-up this past weekend, the Conference Finals this coming weekend and the Grey Cup (their Super Bowl) at the end of the month, it’s time you got familiar with the Cheerleaders of the CFL. Anything less just wouldn’t be neighborly. We don’t want that, now do we?

At first glance, this might seems like some type of ironic joke. But you’d be wrong about the ironic part. This is actually footage from outside a 1991 rodeo in Calgary, Canada called the Calgary Stampede. Needless to say, these dudes could have benefited to at least take some yoga kickboxing or something, because this is pathetic…

Pat Riley masterminded a brilliant trade as the Miami Heat traded Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to the Toronto Raptors for Jermaine O’Neal, Jamario Moon, and a lottery-protected first round draft pick. Basically he dominated former NBA Executive of the Year, Bryan Colangelo, and now has a team that can make some waves in the East this postseason. This trade is so much better for the Heat on so many levels. (more…)

WTF is this all aboot?! If you’ve ever seen an episode of South Park you know that Canada has always lived in America’s shadow. But now it seems that our neighbors to the north are owning us in some pretty important caragories: wealth, happieness and sex.

A recent study shows that Canadians work less, live longer, enjoy better health, are wealthier, and have more sex than Americans. For instance, Canada’s median family household income clocks in at US$122,000; in America, it’s $93,000. Yeah, we felt sick to our stomachs, too.

Go ahead and verifty the numbers for yourself, but remember: although Canadians are wealthier, happier and have more sex, America’s got the nukes (Canada doesn’t), Canada runs on the metric system (practicality is lame); they only gained their independence from England in 1982 (thought they still have to vow allegiance to Queen Elizabeth). Canada doesn’t have the tropical weather of Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico or southern Florida. The Canadian football league sucked–and we stole hockey and John Candy!

Check out South Park’s episode “Canada on Strike” featuring Stephen Abootman here!

Architects revealed today the world’s first 80-story, shape-shifting skyscraper, dubbed ‘Dynamic Tower,’ which is scheduled to be completed in Dubai by 2010.

Each floor of the soon-to-be-built luxury apartment building rotates a full 360-degrees, completely independent from the other floors, powered by massive wind turbines located between each floor. Because of this, the building constantly changes shape, depending on the whims of its inhabitants.
