Pure Pwnage

I don't watch a lot of online shows but Pure Pwnage is my favourite. It's a great show for gamers and geeks. I don't consider myself either of those but my boyfriend is a gamer and he made me watch it. I didn't like it at first but it gets better. It's very funny when you get to know the characters. And it's a Canadian show! Yay.

Anyways, the show is apparently becoming quite popular because they just announced that their show will be broadcasted on TV in 2010 on Showcase. Click here to visit their website and watch the show.

Celebrity Look-A-Like Show

This show has auditions for celebrity look-a-likes and then gives them a makeover. But I think they don't do as nearly as good of a job as they could. For example, there are some people that walk in looking a lot like a celebrity and at the photo shoot at the end of the day they look LESS like the celebrity. The photographer just doesn't capture the right angles. They SUCK sometimes. I think the show could be really good if they had a style team that was better at their job and they had more serious auditions.

However, I find the show to be addictive so I watch it almost everyday and get pissed off every day. Why can't I stop?!

I think that this was a good one. It could have been better if they reshaped her eyebrows.

Kenny vs Spenny: Real or Fake Friendship?

Kenny Vs Spenny is a Canadian show on Showcase on Fridays at 9:30pm. Two best friends battle each other through different competitions each season (tonight's competition is 'who can piss off more people?'). The loser must endure a humiliation chosen by the winner.

They live together in Toronto and claim to be really good friends. But watching the show you wonder how they can still remain friends after the torture they put each other through.

Actually, if you have seen the show you know that Kenny is the one that tortures Spenny. He cheats any way he can and will do anything to jeopardize Spenny's chance at winning.

Spenny approaches each competition by abiding by the rules and playing fairly. He works hard to try to win the competition legitimately. Yet Kenny wins more often.

Kenny will go to extremes to entertain his audience. He has slipped Spenny drugs such as laxatives and even acid. He has locked him in a closet for more than a day. He has mailed him a fake letter telling him he might have AIDS. And he ruined his relationship with a really nice girl.

So after all of that (and the frequent beatings) how do they manage to be friends? You probably have your own opinions but I have a few theories.

Firstly, one could argue that Kenny isn't really that mean to Spenny after all. In some instances you can see that Kenny cares about him. For example, when he locked him in a closet he felt guilty during his whole trip to Niagara Falls and came back early to let him out. So Kenny might have a heart. Is his behaviour just an act to entertain us? Maybe he doesn't like doing those things to Spenny.

Secondly, the whole show and their relationship could be fake. Maybe they are just actors and all of the competitions are set up.

I, personally, don't think the second theory is too likely. But I don't understand how they manage to still be friends. Spenny does not seem okay with how Kenny treats him. If they are friends now, it might not be long until one of them goes crazy. Do they think the show is worth risking their friendship?

What do you think? Is their relationship real? Do you think Spenny is mistreated, or "boys will be boys"?

Corner Gas Ends

The last show of Corner Gas has aired. It' so said when a good TV show series ends. I only recently starting watching the show but I really like it. Now, too soon, it is leaving. Does anyone else watch the show? Is there any other show you've had to say goodbye to?

Duggar Family: Crazy Courtship Ritual

The Duggar family is on a show called 17 Kids and Counting. I was watching it the other day and I found one of their practices very interesting. The oldest son in the family was in the process of "courting" a young women. This meant that no dating was permitted. He asked the girl's father for permission to get to know his daughter better. After what I think was a couple of years he then asked the father's permission for his daughter's hand in marriage. He proposed to her but the most affection he felt comfortable with was putting his arm on her shoulder. Later that evening he asked the father's permission to hold his fiancee's hand. The first kiss and intimate relations were to be experienced with marriage. Also, even after they were engaged, they could not go anywhere alone; they had to have a chaparone.

While I respect these families' choice to ensue courtship I cannot help but have strong negative feelings about this. To save the first kiss for marriage sounds fantasic and respectful but I could not imagine what it would be like for grown adults to not be allowed to express their love to each other. And they do not have any privacy . . . and they are adults! I do not believe that sex and kissing should be held off until after marriage. People should have the freedom to do as the please with their bodies. It is a beautiful way to express a person's love to another and no one should be ashamed of that for any reason.

I also find it unfortunate that this process of courtships seems to only value the men's decisions. He was asking the father for permission and not her mother. I think that people should do what makes themselves and others happy. If the Duggar women want to be courted I think that is fine. But I cannot imagine the parents being okay with their daughters rejecting this practice and choosing to date. When I have children I want them to have respect for their partners but I would put enough trust in them that they will do this on their own without being pressured into it.
