“Behind the anonymity of commenting, people hate others. It is disgusting.”

When you hear the words “jam-packed” and “co-branded” in a press release describing a website, first thing you smell is the panicky fear. The second is the javascript errors.

Yes, the CBC paid for and posted this piece of crap

Confessions of a Santa: (clip 4)
“Mrs. Claus, not only my wife but she’s also a witch.
Yeah, I didn’t believe it until I saw her give birth to a fucking reindeer.
Scared the shit out of me.”
(that’s the entire clip)

The CBC calls it a HOLIDAY VIDEO, part of the cheery web page Holiday Guide.
It’s broken into 5 parts, all equally, horribly stupid.
A compilation of parts 2,3,4 and 5 can be found here.
It lasts 1:36, but it won’t take you that long before asking “what on earth went through someone’s mind to put this out before the public?”
And who is Scott Goodyer.

Experts warn that in the future, the line between journalism and high-larious Photoshop contest will become more increasingly blurred.

That future is now.

Yes, Interwoven can do that (for an extra $2mil)

The senior architect of front-end development at CBC.ca, frustrated with 3rd party software sales pitch bullshit, writes a web app for all your burning questions.

CBC reporter thinks he’s part of the story

Huh???
That is one strange headline from James Cudmore.
Do you hate your job so much, Jim, that its become personal?
Who elected you? What difference do you make to the running of Canada or the Afghanistan mission?
Not even a real journalist like Bob Woodward would have the nerve to write a headline like that.
Is it your plan to include yourself in every report you do?
Shouldn’t someone that important have their own television show? Because according to you, you must be pretty freakin’ special!

Either we suck, or this list sucks

The Canadian New Media Awards finalists were announced, and it’s a lot of websites no one uses, made by innovators that are spent out and sputtering for ideas. When K-os wins “Best Online Artist of the Year,” in 2009, it begs the question:
“Does anyone else have any other ideas? Hello?”

“Anyone?”

Consultants overlooked informing CBC.CA

Some people don’t like sharing their views, even when prodded multiple times over three days.

Why doesn’t the CBC just steal more recipes from Epicurious and get it over with?

Innovation lives here: CBC centres Web site on page

Years in the making, CBC Radio 3 launched their new website today. Now, we don’t want to be nerdy haters here, but motherfucking frames?

Despite all the time spent on it, it’s hard to see what’s new here. The design contains disparate elements and looks unfinished. There’s plenty of debugging markup commented out under the hood, which leads me to believe this was done in a rush. The social elements are superficial and far from groundbreaking.

Yet the word “genius” is on the home page a full three times. They sure seem pleased with themselves!

Let’s hope that rubs off on the rest of us.
