The Theater of the Damned

Below, you can see a photo of the painted-in audience for a children’s museum theater. They look like people who were rejected from the “Thriller” video on account of being too fucking scary.

92.5 Jack FM radio ad: “And the number one radio station in Toronto, according to the Toronto Star Reader’s Choice awards is…Q107 ROCK? What?”

Sage and Todd are playing online backgammon and listening to the Toronto radio station Jack FM.

Sage Okay, I’m playing the music loudly and I turned on the light next to the bed. Paul has got to wake up eventually.

Todd I like it that Jack FM is not number one. I’d feel like a sheep.

Sage I think they play on that - our generation’s reluctance to feel like a sheep. And, sheep-like, we are pleased.

Todd Or at least like a boring sheep. We like being cool Television Without Pity sheep. But only until the stupid sheep join in.

Sage Good lord, I need the Bethlehem marching band to wake him up.

Todd I bet all the songs we never heard until we started listening to this station are overplayed in Canada and we’re just deluded sheep.

Sage And speaking of Television Without Pity, the audience is swinging - or anyway the forums are - from witty 30 somethings to not so witty 13-19 somethings. The admins are like, “I don’t know why we’re experiencing an influx of people who don’t know where the shift key is on the keyboard but as this FAQ item says… knock it off!”

Todd That has to be maddening to have your site overrun like that. You can’t just call Terminix.
