Here's a weird Streetview from inside the Calgary tower in case you ever wondered what it looks like inside the "KFC bucket" Molson:

Especially when the use "the Hells Angels didn't sell drugs or run prostitutes! Those are lies" as an argument, often in the same paragraph.

that second shot is kind of cool, but the first one is what I would have expected the Kentucky bucket to look like on the inside, complete with texting douchebags.

Last time I went to KFC (10 years ago) I felt bad and never came back.

Didn't those sign used to rotate?

[vid]

They absolutely did! I work in a former KFC and our sign still has the motor that rotates it, but it doesn't work anymore. The former owner of the building has the bucket on display on his property.

They're finally renovating Thunder Bay's KFCs, which were last done in 1986.

This bizarre story of a car full of naked people getting into an accident south of Edmonton definitely belongs here.

Timmy Ho's is in trouble for cashing in on Remembrance day in Calgary. What do you think? Innocent mistake or devious ploy?

I am more worried about what all that red food dye will do to your insides. Not that I am planning on finding out. Since they started being baked in a Brantford factory and flash-frozen, Tim Horton's doh-nuts taste like they were shat out of Ben Mulroney's asshole.

I seriously doubt there was any disrespectful intent.

Yes, their donuts can definitely be compared to a BM onctueux.

It's on par with the mall in Montreal that has Santa arriving at 10am on November 11th. http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-ne...cized-for-santas-remembrance-day-arrival

Quebec can be very nihilistic (right term?) like that.

They'd never admit it in a million years but I betcha 100 bucks they didn't even think of it!

As with the Timmies example, it's the thoughtlessness that makes it disrespectful.

I don't see any similarity at all between the two.

The Montreal example is blatant indifference, whereas the Calgary one is obviously well-intentioned, and only (somewhat arguably) misguided and certainly not disrespectful.
