If this gets to court, I hope the defense asks for the specific objectionable passages to be read aloud, and then has a similarly gruesome passage from the Bible read aloud right after. Just keep going until the case is thrown out, or the Bible is also banned.

All those comments, and only you knew what was really up? People really do treasure their ignorance...

So many guest stars on MacGyver also appeared on Star Trek... It helps that MacGyver was also a Paramount show.

Also, watch the MacGyver pilot for a surprise appearance by the torpedo tube hatch through which Spock was shot out of.

Canola is a North American thing. AFAIK the British are familiar with the term "rapeseed" and don't need the rebranding.

You assume there's lots of chemicals, but did you check? The process of canning food doesn't necessarily require a lot of chemicals: a lot of canned food is cooked in the can, after it's sealed, which kills most of the microbes that might spoil the food and make you sick. And because it's sealed, no microbes can get in, either.

Are the bikes just left parked around the city? Here in Montréal, we have Bixi, with docks for the bikes every few blocks, and bikes have to be returned to a dock when you're done (or you'll get docked for the price of the bike, pun intended) so we don't hear about discarded bikes much.

The program is also a resounding success here!

But the bribe amounts have very little to do with how unfathomably rich the "donors" are! If you look at all those bribes, the amounts are still within the realm of what the 99% could put together.

But I don't even think it would cost the 99% that much, because it would force the 1% to up their game (in other words, there'd be bribe inflation) until the 99% can't follow suit, which means the 99% wouldn't even need to pay, in the end. But the higher price would make some bribers think twice, which might lead to less bribery happening.

How much of the music at that EDM festival you went to will you listen to again? Will you buy any of their records? Or maybe just add a few of their tracks to a playlist on Spotify such that you may hear that music a couple more times in the future?

I may be making assumptions about you, but I think Rick's point about new music becoming "disposable" because there's just so much of it coming out remains valid. There's still new songs coming out that transcend this, but the musicians making this music are finding it harder and harder to build up a following, get exposure, and convince record labels to invest in them, when these labels can invest way less, produce a shitton of disposable music and get a better (short-term) ROI.

The Bloc Québécois is looking like it has a good chance of forming the opposition in the next election.

They may have been referring to the cartoon. The car in the cartoon did some ridiculous shit, such as tires that inflated like balloons and made the car extra bouncy.
