The VSB Porn Workshop

Internet, People, Rants
Shocking! Horrifying!! 15 employees at the Vancouver School Board maintenance facility on Clark Drive have been caught looking at naughty pictures on the Internet. Quick...close all of the schools and protect our innocent children!!! Please dear God..protect the children!!! Yes, it's true. A number of lascivious, perpetually stimulated employees have been suspended with pay and the children are safe. Parents be advised that our school board is on guard against all naughty bits on the Internet. Phew...that was close! So these employees were looking at porn rather than doing their jobs. OK, but you would think, based on the reactions of a number of government and union representatives, that they had smuggled ricin into each and every classroom rather than viewed a number of airbrushed breasts on a computer screen.…

Theft By Tribunal

People, Rants
The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has awarded an Enderby woman more than $12,000 after deciding she was discriminated against by a new employer based on her physical disability. The story behind this award is almost laughable. Read on... Carolyn Hurn injured her back in a car accident in 1989 and hadn't worked until securing employment with Salmon Arm's Healthquest Natural Health and Medical Supplies. She lasted a total of three shifts after complaining she had to alternate between sitting and standing. Fair enough but her employers, Hank and Margilla Berkenpas, hired her to do a job and she was obviously unable to do it and shouldn't have applied for the position in the first place. Mr. and Mrs. Berkenpas terminated her employment after the third shift but Ms. Hurn decided…

Muscular Mom

Of Interest, People
The following post is weird, disturbing and creepy. Enjoy! From today's Digital Journal: Elizabeth Poblete, a 22-year-old weightlifter from Chile who competed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has given birth during a training session in Brazil, having been oblivious of the fact that she was pregnant. Ms Poblete was training at a gym in Brazil's largest city Sao Paolo on December 8, when she began to feel unwell. Unaware that she was expecting a baby Ms Poblete, understandably shocked at discovering her condition, proceeded to give birth to a son United Press International says she has called Eric Joseph, although another report calls the young boy Eric Jose. According to the BBC Eric Joseph, born three months premature, weighed in at 2.25lbs (1.2kg) and measured 14 inches (34cm). Yes folks,…

Beautiful Bill

Of Interest, People, Politics
He's back in the spotlight and enjoying the support of a majority of B.C. taxpayers. Yes, Bill Vander Zalm is shining pretty these days as he rallies his troops to fight the dastardly HST. Who would have thought that the man of questionable business ethics, a documented distaste for the media (remember the 'fly' editorial cartoon lawsuit?) and a guy that would promise cheap beer or anything else to get elected, would have the love of British Columbia taxpayers washing over his expensive suit in 2009? He's a new guy and he's on a mission. I should mention that I always thought Mr. Vander Zalm was a bit of a weenie but enjoyed his encounter with demonstrating deadbeats and his over-the-top challenge for them to do some real work by…
