Part French so the idea that kissing is so magical it must be done in private is mind blowing to me. We kiss everyone and everything.

That's very cool. I think older people who were fans of his work for CBC are finding they want to talk about it. It's a teachable moment if there ever was one.

Yep, there's plenty of SVU junkies in Canada, too :)

If there's a silver lining to all this ugliness, it's that there's a discussion taking place about consent in Canada, or at least it seems so in my circle, among those who I can't imagine having that conversation otherwise. My dad of all people said last night to me, "people who are kinky must be angry to have their,…

I just looked up the definition of bodily harm in this context and I'm not sure that most bdsm acts would qualify. Bodily harm has to involve injury that "isn't transient or trifling in nature"

That might be technically true but it's not like consensual BDSM is going to be prosecuted. Jeez, our national sport stops every few minutes so guys can punch each other in the face.

Interestingly, the Supreme Court of Canada has declared that one cannot consent to assault. So if the partner in the video did in fact consent, it actually wouldn't matter in the context of assault charges.

Is the bear called "big ears" because it has big ears, or because it is a recording device? (Or both?)

Only people as far up their own ass as he apparently was.

That definitely jumped out at me, too. Were he just a DJ instead of one of CBC Radio's most high-profile interviewers — something that he was damn good at, too — there wouldn't be so many Canadians so angry and upset about this. I don't think I know anyone who's defended him but I sure as heck know plenty of people…

The testimony of his accusers should be enough to support charges of assault. Not picking on you, but I keep hearing/reading comments that amount to "he can't be convicted because there's no evidence." Testimony is evidence.

"Yes, I'd be THRILLED for you to show videos of us fucking and you beating the shit out of me to your employers!"

Not a DJ. He is an interviewer. He is a Canadian darling and people up here are angry and grieving (that he was a secret asshole perpetrator) and also defending him (because how could he be a secret asshole perpetrator if I like his interviews?). It's bad. there's a mass unfriending on facebook based on who does or…

I just yelled "what?" out loud at my computer upon seeing the headline of this article. Like, really. What?

What I've learned today: don't rent or buy an apartment with a price that sounds too good to be true.

This is more satisfying than all the 50 Shades sex scenes put together.

So, both Psycho and the character of Buffalo Bill were inspired by Ed Gein, a Wisconsin farmer and body snatcher. And actually, the shit he did was worse than what was in those movies.

Because it said please?

Not to their families.
