Ok, so two of my "friends" on youtube sent me the same video, the same day. I gave it a watch and found it amusing in the most sick and twisted sort of way... nice fish!
But seriously folks, although this little vid is a cartoon, the content is serious business, and more people should be aware of the questionable ethics of our so-called information providers.
So here's the vid:
And if that left you wanting more information, a while back I went a litte nuts on understanding our media systems here in Canada, and wrote a few long-winded blog posts detailing my findings for the rest of the uninterested world. Maybe if I made a movie about what I learned, someone might care... but for those of you who are still into a good long read, here are the links to those posts:

Our strategy should be not only to confront empire but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubornness, our joy, our sheer relentlessness - and our ability to tell our own stories. -Arundhati Roy

Not So Refreshing After All...
To all you pop drinkers out there from all of us over here at the people party, we'd like you to stop what you're doing, 'cause you're about to ruin, that body and that image that you're used to! For real!
Today, we'll give you a bit of information on sodium benzoate and asparatame, only two little ingredients in a large chemical cocktail these big sugar retailers like to call refreshment.
This post was inspired by a friend of ours whom we meet with twice a week at martial arts class. Being that this individual is a minor, and still has time to change his cancer causing ways, we won't mention his name, but he knows who he is... sipping on that "Zero" every day after practice. We're only telling you these things because we love you buddy, no other reason. So watch these vids, and see if you still wanna suck on that can after class.
Still not convinced? Check out these new items that we found on the net

Operation Mc Kill You
Yes, that's right folks! We've been promising some local action for a long time, and finally, here it is! Released just in time for the summer. And you guessed it, there's plenty more where this came from - it's just all in the works. So yeah, watch the vid and try to keep your jealousy to a dull roar - it's not our fault we're this cool!
Until next time, stir up some of your own trouble and stay tuned to the peopleparty for for fun times, fantastic ideas, and insightful information...

Starbucks: This Ain't No Double-Double... (but it is kind of)
Salutations to all you perusers of web pages and surfers of cyberspace. I was just about to hit up the local Starbucks for my afternoon fix of human contact, when I remembered there are reasons, good reasons, for me to stop supporting this nasty chain of (third world blood sucking -contrived human relationship providing - give me some sugar so I can think)coffee providers!
Gawd. I dunno if I can do it folks - this may be my last chance at physical contact today - someone might actually brush my hand as they pass me my change! Better watch a movie about Ethiopian coffee farmers, maybe that'll help my morality kick in!
Too bad I don't have enough coin for a plane ticket... they seem like my kind of people over there in Ethiopia. Maybe I wouldn't have to dish out three dollars and something just to have a taste of contrived and cultured social interaction in Ethiopia. (3$ and something is what a grande coffee costs, with room for cream and two cinnamon straws on the side...) Mmmmm. Cinnamon staws...
Suddenly I feel very hungry! Maybe it'll help to listen to Alex Jones yap for ten minutes about what we already suspected about Starbucks... Yeah, yeah yeah, call it conspiracy theory if you like, but have you ever checked the mural out in the Starbucks in downtown Vancouver? Next time you walk into your local java joint, why don't you check the corporate art on the walls, and see how smart you feel as you sip on your over-priced latte while those that manipulate you, mock you with their corporate art in the very places you patronize, in the very places that you meet your friends and share intimate moments. While you connect and sip the blood of the third world, you are being mocked for not knowing, for being stupid. Anyone care for a cappucino?
