Is this the best or worst mar­ket­ing ploy ever made? I’m not sure, but I can say for damn sure that is pure evil. Do peo­ple actu­ally fall for this? If so, every canned food com­pany should do it. I can see it now.

“Chef Boyardee, now 96% fat free” (stat based on actual calculation).

The thing is, so many peo­ple are hell bent on these “fat free” diets, that any­time they see those words on a package,they imme­di­ately think its a good thing. They don’t think what other can­cer induc­ing sub­stances are put into these prod­ucts to replace the fat just to sat­isfy a mar­ket­ing ploy. But in this case, hav­ing the words fat free is good enough, even though it means shit all.

Now I feel too intel­li­gent to eat Stagg.

Can’t a guy go to Burger King with­out being pulled over by three cops?

So Bran­don, Hor­atiu, and I are tak­ing the bus down from SFU at around…12:30ish, and we see 3 cop cars rac­ing down, one of which com­pletely cut off our bus, and they head RIGHT to Horatiu’s house.  At this point, we were mostly like dou­ble you tee eff, because from what we could see there was at least 3 cop cars, 1 fire truck, and 2 ambu­lances in front of his house. We pass by, noth­ing really inter­est­ing catches our eyes, but the cop was sure as hell inter­ested at mine. He gave me a stare-down, and I gave him a nod.

So, at this point, there was noth­ing to see, it was Burger King time.We start dri­ving down Hast­ings,  and Bran­don notices that one of the cops fol­lowed me onto Hast­ings, which forced me to do things that I don’t par­tic­u­larly like to do (go the speed limit, sig­nal, etc.). This cop was essen­tially tail­gat­ing me, so we knew it was only a mat­ter of time before we got pulled over, it was a mat­ter of how long he could fol­low me with­out me break­ing the law. Apper­ently that point didn’t come soon enough, so I was pulled over just before Bound­ary on Hast­ings. To my sur­prise, there was not one, not two, but THREE cop cars fol­low­ing me. Two were behind me, and one was in the next lane, almost beside me. Do I look like that much of a threat? So, obvi­ously the cops were think­ing of an excuse to pull me over, and I didn’t do any­thing wrong, so when he pulled me over I asked what the prob­lem was. APPARENTLY this type of vehi­cle has stolen quite a few times lately (a Buick Cen­tury ’94? Yeah, right. There aren’t many of those around). This was his excuse. What­ever, I gave him my licence and reg­is­tra­tion, and that was that. I was just happy he didn’t give me a ticket for hav­ing 3 peo­ple in the car with a N license!
