In an effort to simply observe and report what is active and prolonged cases of extreme bad taste in individuals in the media spotlight, I’ve started a new category on the Five O’Clock Track Tream. It’s called “Douche Alert”. FYI…when the post says “Xtreme Douche Alert”, it requires you to quite literally put down whatever the hell it is that you’re doing…like I don’t care if you’re getting surgery…and check this out.
Criss Angel. Arguably a good magician, but agreeably by all of humanity, caught in a vortex of thinking he’s in Motley Godsmack, and at this …

Hello track teamers,
This post is going to unite us in a way unlike anything we have ever experienced before. I was introduced to the Angry Video Game Nerd recently by a friend, and felt as if a waterfall (a la Duran Duran’s video for The Reflex) of understanding hit my head, as an early thirtysomething former regular Nintendo fanatic. James Rolfe’s video pieces on the most frustrating games made me realize just in fact how much of my early childhood I spent obsessively attempting to perfect certain areas in Nintendo games that were near …

In light of the recent massive spat of “25 random things about me” notes on Facebook, I decided to do my own.

24. I love Chuck Klosterman books.
23. Steel Panther is the greatest band in the world. Go and fuck yourself if you think …

This was a mistake and it’s no secret in Hollywood circles. This sleeper of a 1994 film was not only widely panned, but also generated some massive anger from fans of Raoul Julia, who had to deal with this being his last film role. This was at the tailend of JCVD’s popularity, and even he admitted that he thought the movie was terrible.
Hard to believe that’s Mickey Rourke, eh? Yes…he accepted roles like this when he REALLY needed to crank it up a notch to get blow. …

So…living in Ottawa is sucking right now. OC Transpo went on strike over a month ago, a first since 1996 in this city. I have to tell you…I haven’t taken a bus since playing video games at the famed Billings Bridge arcade (you could play Golden Axe and Mortal Kombat AND buy a dimebag or get stabbed). I used to take the 144. The famed 144. I’d dread taking that bus, because it would be jammed with about 1000 kids all swaying to and fro with each stop and go. Everyone was standing. They filled those …
