Doesn't Anyone Want A Free Trip To Greece?
I know saying "FAIL" is over, but it's the only word to describe this video of a local TV station making a 7:21 AM phone call to a sleeping person to "help" her win a trip to Greece. Notice the childlike excitement and wonder of the hosts. That's called "comic juxtaposition" (and also "TV show contest call FAIL"):
Aww. And look how cold it is! This would have been great even without the live TV f-bomb. Related: does anyone remember the TV show or movie where every time the phone rang, one character answered with the name of a radio station, and it was supposed to show how trashy that character was? It's famous, I swear, and totally the kind of thing Kenny Powers from Eastbound And Down would do. Anyway, that was awesome.

Yeeaaay Toronto love! And yes it is cold, when I saw it was 14 degrees (celsius) I was happy our temps are getting around to double digits and decided to break out the spring jacket.
At four-fucking-teen degrees. (Psst: Also am I the only one that wants to see Kevin some more? I miss his suspenders.)

Awwwww I used to watch that show every morning before I went to school for about 8 or 9 years. They are pretty good actually in 'Morning News Show' standards.
They always told me when my school bus was canceled because of the snow.
(First three people to make a Canada/snow joke win a high five!)
