  • Just saw an ad for Verizon FiOS, featured a DVR that could play to 6 rooms at once. American families have six TVs now???
  • Domain HomeAlert: 1 bed, 1 bath, good, William St, nice location, $70/week, sounds great sign me up. Oh, it's a carpark not a 'home'...#fail
  • Worse thing from Thiessen seems to be if you don't agree with him that means your siding with the enemy.
