I really hate television. The advertising, the soap opera endings to every popular show, local commercials that are all of a sudDEN LOUD AS F**KING BALLS. I cannot stand it. So, short of major sporting events that I give a crap about, I don’t really turn on my T.V set. Not sure why but the T.V. feels like a naggy woman in the room, demanding that I buy her things.

That said, television is going through a bit of a renaissance, coming out of the dark ages of the 90’s fictional fluff and finding more real, interesting stories in characters. (Battlestar Galactica, anyone?) Still, I cannot be bothered to turn my set on, because even the good shows share time and ad space with a complete bevy of reality TV garbage.

So I like the programming but cannot stand the delivery. What am I to do? Like most problems, this one can be solved by the interweb’s dump truck tubes. TV is available everywhere online. Most of it perfectly legally! Some of it in legal gray areas! Lets take a look.

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!
