That Yellow Circle!

Posted by christinavee on March 30, 2009

TO YELLOW LOZENGE, OR NOT TO YELLOW LOZENGE??? That is the question…

This is the answer…
According to some long-time Hello! Canada readers, the yellow lozenge does not make or break their purchase of the magazine. They enjoy the magazine itself, and actually did not even notice the bright yellow circle on every cover of the magazine. They enjoy the content, and the cover images, and the price of the magazine is not a factor when they buy the magazine off the newsstand. I personally don’t think that Hello! should keep the lozenge when the price rises, as long-standing readers will still purchase the magazine for its content. Hello! Canada is an affordable magazine, and will remain so, even when the price rises to $3.99. It stays within the price range for higher quality magazines, and people will continue to purchase it.

Lozenge

No Lozenge

Is ignorance really bliss?

Posted by christinavee on March 23, 2009

So, basically, the Americans want to invade Canada – good idea idiots!

I can barely watch this whole video, the ignorance portrayed in this video is so unnerving. Our military may not be as brutal, or as immensely ignorant as the American’s, but I think that we as Canadians are definitely classier, and can hold our heads up higher than many Americans. Due to the lack of  – TACT – in this video, you may find yourself wanting to punch your computer screen. What you are about to watch is the number one reason why Jean Chretien made the right decision to not go into Iraq with those barbarians.

Note: Not ALL Americans think like this. We can’t forget that they have lost many in their plight as well.

Feel free to leave irate comments.
