Discovery of Gay Cavemen Is Hoax-Ish. Eh, More Bad Journalism Than Anything
Remember all that jazz about the discovery of gay cavemen last week? Talk about sensationalization. Anyway, it’s kind of like when that reporter was all like, “OMG, we’re all different zodiac signs!” Dumbass.
Singapore Dispatch: Is Singapore the “Whitest” Country in Asia?
If you’re looking for a true Asian adventure in Asia with, like, Asian people, you might want to think twice about Singapore. By all means, go visit the hell out of it, but don’t expect culture shock. The national language is English and one million out of the five million residents are ex-pats. Sure, Singapore is a dynamic country with some awesome attractions like a night safari, Marina Bay Sands SkyPark (highest pool in the world), Altitude Bar (highest open-air bar in the world), nightlife in Chinatown and one of the fanciest Raffles hotels ever (it’s the oldest hotel in Singapore). But when the Brits handed Singapore back over, they never really left. International businesses are also popping up all over (we would like to blame that guy Eduardo from Facebook who moved here) so it’s like Wall Street 3. Anyway, it’s a cool country but we’re just letting you know it feels like some coastal city in the states that has a large Asian community, like Vancouver, or Duluth, Georgia. Just saying.
Singapore Dispatch: View from World’s Highest Pool in This Short Clip
We would have found a way to sneak into the world’s highest pool (700 feet!) if our friend Melinda wasn’t already staying at Marina Bay Sands (visitors have to thrown down 20 bucks to get up there while hotel guests go for free). Three pools link up to basically form a 500-meter swimming pool with some of Singapore’s most commanding views. Anyway, it’s fucking bonkers, and in this clip you’ll see what goes down. Not only will you witness Melinda, editor of 944 magazine, get wet (she’s terrified of heights, water, escalators, etcetera) but there’s a ****special**** treat for the ladies and gays (so, “gadies”) at the end!
Clip of the Day: See Macau in Less Than Two Minutes!
It’s literally the clip of the day because we are not putting any others up. Anyway, here’s a quickie for the A.D.D-minded: see the best of Macau in less than two minutes! You don’t even have to go (though we encourage it) as we bring the destination to you! And almost a full minute is dedicated to Jason being a tour guide (ish).
Highest Hotel in the WORLD Opens Today
Just so you know, the highest hotel in the world isn’t in Dubai or Shanghai. And it was never in one of those you-can’t-believe-it’s-here places, like Knoxville, Tennessee. Actually, we have no fucking idea where the highest hotel in the world was but it’s now in Hong Kong at the Ritz Carlton, taking floors 102 to 118 in the International Commerce Center, officially opened today. We might make it over, considering we just landed in Macau, so stay tuned. If we don’t here’s a crazy-ass picture of the hotel for you to gawk at.
See Johnny Reid Perform Radiohead’s “Creep”
Ok, so he ain’t no Arcade Fire but I caught Johnny Reid at the private EMI party last night. He’s slated as Canada’s next big country singer, and already won country album of the year at the JUNO gala dinner. I’d rather listen to you whine for twenty minutes then put on a country song but this guy sort of surprised me by singing a cover of Radiohead’s Creep. I guess he wants street cred? Kinda how Shakira is now tapping into the hipster market? Anyway, the event was fun-ish, Glass Tiger, Barenaked Ladies and Marcy Playground performed but JR doing RH was sort of the highlight song of the night. Then I went to a house party and got laid afterward. It’s been a while. Awesome night.
Toronto Dispatch: Backstage at the JUNOS with Sara McLachlan
Ok. Not really “backstage” but I had a little tour of the Air Canada Center, where Canada’s version of the Grammys, the JUNO awards, will take place. We start at the “red carpet” and head inside to where Sara McLachlan is having her rehearsal. Watch her sound check, then sing in just a sweater and jeans. Sort of cool, even though I prefer Florence. Anyway, they told us no cameras, so I snuck in a video. This is backstage raw, or whatever they say. Enjoy!
John Travolta is Not Only Gay But He Supports Favoritism
We would like to think of John Travolta as that cool guy in Grease, but he’s a total douchebag for staying way in the closet and looks douchebaggier wearing a pilot hat. Anyway, he’s managed to piss off a bunch of Aussies as the spokesperson of Qantas Airlines safety video. Why can’t Air New Zealand get any love? Anyway, go back to making bad movies, fool !
