So what's happening in the world, then? While Lewis Libby is being spared from his prison sentence through some kind of bizarre divine intervention and further inquiries are taking place regarding the failed UK car bombing as the terror threat level climbs to critical, Vancouver does not fail to put its name in the papers: we're getting our one and only Kwik-E-Mart, guys! Just when you thought that thickly accented 'thankyou, come again' jokes were getting a little stale, now you will never escape them as they pull you screaming in to an endless pit of mid-nineties colloquialisms!

20th Century Fox along with the creators of The Simpson's at Gracie Films have combined forces for the up-coming Simpson's movie to create a marketing campaign in which eleven 7/11's in the US and one in Canada essentially transform in to the show's famed Kwik-E-Mart, selling Simpson's products from Buzz Cola to Squishees. So far it sounds as though most of their current products will be simply renamed (their upcoming Squishee "WooHoo! Blue Vanilla" is already existent under a different name) but you may just have the luck of trying out one of these slightly re-priced items that have seen for decades! Canada's only Kwik-E-Mart will be situated just outside of Vancouver, in Coquitlam.

Y'know, just when I had though I reached the age where you come to terms with just how much of an unbearable twit you were five years ago and how much you had grown as a person since then, something like this happens and up pops all of those repressed memories you've been hiding from yourself for all of these years, to say hello and relive old times! "Remember me, douchewad?!" Why yes, yes I do. You're 1995, the year I spent weeks attempting to perfect the air-jump leg split choreography of Mortal Kombat: The Movie. Man, how've you been? You look different. Have you been working out? Only now instead of causing mild muscular discomfort, this is more along the lines of Crippling embarrassment.

The Simpson's movie will have its theatrical release in Canada on July 27th, if any of you particularly care.
