So I'm making a commitment to myself to post on here at least once a week.
That, and the one thing that defines a micro-celebrity from a traditional celeb is that they ACTUALLY CARE about their audiences - there's an immediate and intimate relationship between the two.

OK Kids - it's time to get your pirating gear out of the closet.
This week I'd like to tell you to download a CBC Bit Torrent. ESPECIALLY if you're ISP is Bell or Rogers, here in Canada.
The CBC is distributing a show called "Canada's Next Great Prime Minister" on in torrent form.
Why? Well, the show is ok, and the political message is interesting, but more than that it is a way we can fight traffic throttling (particularly by Bell, but also by other ISPs in this country).
The CBC uses Canadian taxpayer dollars to create content. Because of this they are therefore mandated to distribute that content as as easily and efficiently as they can to all Canadians. It's ours.
If you are trying to download the content your money create but your ISP is throttling your download speed because of the TYPE of files, despite the fact that is free, legal and your right as a taxpayer, the CRTC will most likely step in and force these ISPs to stop throttling traffic.
BTW, most internet bandwidth is consumed via immediate streaming content (i.e. Youtube) and NOT Torrents, which make up about 30% of all internet traffic.
Download it already!
PS - it's actually a pretty interesting show. I've debated with Rahim Maloo, and despite his dismal showing, he's quite brilliant. All the same, his politics just don't resonate with me.
