I have no fealty to Canuck...but I have a strong allergic reaction to pcr...jaysus...he would not be allowed to breed, or perhaps even survive, in countries he would have follow his beliefs. He is, after all, something like a bacterial infection. Kill it, or it might kill you. Guess where the general opinion might center. ...hmmmm....get another twinkie and a big Mac pc, and enjoy your anonymity. Else, drink the hemlock, despairing of hope of skinhead success.
As mentioned by several others, canuck writes like he's performing on stage versus writing for real. He's seeking applause, attention, etc.. "Look at me! I'm a law enforcement officer. I put my life on the line every day to help people like you. Praise me please. I know everything about the U.S. government and no one can challenge me on the subject. My sources are top notch after all."
Canadian citizens beware. If you encounter him while he's on the job, say nothing. If you challenge his thinking, you'll be condemned regardless of the actual facts of the case. Flawed thinking and flimsy evidence based on marginal assumptions are apparently part of the academy training in Toronto.
Do you even see how much of a obsessive, compulsive, jealous, heinously charged reputation you have here. Get over it, grow up or get out of glumbert. Does this little battle you have got on here somewhat the pinnacle of your existance, do you feel complete daily when you post another pitch at defaming others characters with derogatoy remarks? If it is i pity you, find a better hobby.
"A veteran Toronto police officer says he supports a call by defence lawyers for a public inquiry into the Toronto police force because the force is rife with systemic corruption.
In an interview with CBC Radio News and the Toronto Sun, Sgt. Jim Cassells said police brass have covered up, refused to investigate or buried cases of alleged police brutality, public complaints and internal corruption for years.
Sgt. Jim Cassells was charged last month with misconduct after speaking with a reporter. (CBC)
"I'm an experienced person, I've got 30 years on the job, and I've seen some fiddle faddle go on."
Cassells, a police officer for the past 29 years and a key investigator on an RCMP-led special task force into the city drug squad, was charged with one count of misconduct last month under the Police Services Act after he talked to a Toronto Star reporter.
Cassells said he has watched police supervisors turn a blind eye to many cases involving officers. Known for being outspoken, Cassells has had the tough job of investigating other officers and said he felt it was time to speak out even though he knows he risks losing his job."
Just a few real examples. Apparently there ae thousands - way beyond what would be considered within normal tolerances.

Isaiah Trickey In May 1994, Isaiah Trickey attended a party on Parliament St. where someone pulled a knife on him. Three officers, including constables Shawn Meaney and Thomas Ragell, showed up.

AFRICAN AMERICAN HIP HOP PHOTOGRAPHER BEATEN BY TORONTO POLICE FOR ALLEGEDLY CAUSING A DISTURBANCE OF THE PEACE
TORONTO, CANADA...Police brutality, according to the numbers, is becoming rampant in Toronto. And now American tourists seem to also be susceptible.
On October 16, about approximately 1:40 pm in front of the Econolodge Hotel (335 Jarvis Street) in downtown Toronto, Tonye Allen and his fiancée, Ann Brown, having just checked out of the hotel, were at the curb attempting to hail a cab. While in the process, a police car from the 51 st Division pulled over at started asking questions of the two. When they answered, the officer said he didn't like their attitude, especially after they sought to find out why they were being questioned. Enraged the officer, jumped out of the car, grabbed Mr. Allen and called for backup. When backup came, there was no questioning. They immediately all descended upon Mr. Allen pepper sprayed him, knocked him to the floor, hit and kicked him. Someone on the street was videotaping the incident as onlookers were appalled. The person videotaping was told he too would be arrested. They also told Ms. Brown she was going to be arrested for disturbing the peace when she sought to see what was happening to Mr. Allen and when she went to seek help from bystanders. She was pushed, grabbed by the throat and also subdued by another police officer. The police refused to tell her or Mr. Allen the arrest charges. They refused to tell Ms. Brown their names or badge numbers. They refused to tell Ms. Brown what division they were taking Mr. Allen to. One of the witnesses on the street told her what division the police were from.
After arriving at the police station Ms. Brown spoke with a Det. Moyer who informed her: "We get all kinds of crap from the public everyday and we don't have to take it," he told her. When she said they within their rights to question the officer as to his reason for singling them out, and that we were in a free country, Det. Moyer said, "This (Canada) is not a free country."
Mr. Allen and Ms. Brown are both African American. According to a former officer, the problem of police brutality has gotten worse in Toronto. Sgt. Jim Cassells told CBC News. "police brass have covered up, refused to investigate or buried cases of alleged police brutality, public complaints and internal corruption for years." ( http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2006/05/05/toronto-police-misconduct.html )
Vivian describes herself as a "middle-aged, middle-class, law-abiding citizen." On Saturday, March 23, she decided to go with some friends to the second day of protests held in downtown Toronto to coincide with the provincial Tory leadership convention.
She had been to many rallies against the provincial government. "But this time was different," she writes in the account of the day's events she composed in response to questions from eye. "I have never seen the police attack citizens before, and it is deeply disturbing."
That afternoon, protesters gathered at Allan Gardens. They say police declared over a megaphone that the demonstration was an illegal assembly. Protesters then tried to leave the park -- some individually, some in a march -- and that's when things got bad.
"The march had just started from Allan Gardens," writes Vivian, "when several cops plunged into the marchers and jumped on a teenage girl, knocking her to the ground face-first. Then two of them held her down while a third one beat her on the legs. They had the girl facedown in the mud, two big cops were on her arms and the third cop -- a woman! -- was whacking away at the girl's legs.
"Other cops came rushing over, and I thought they might be coming to cool the situation down, but instead they formed a circle and the beating continued within the circle. It was insane. If they wanted to arrest this girl for some reason, why didn't they just arrest her by grabbing her arms and handcuffing her?
"She wasn't even kicking or thrashing about, she was just lying there completely still while they beat her. I'll never lose the image that is burned in my brain of the one time she lifted her head and looked around, blood pouring down her face, and her mouth moving with no sound coming out."
Officers who formed the circle started to strike out at bystanders, Vivian claims, and so march organizers told the observers to move on. "My friend and I... sort of stumbled away in shock," she writes, "not knowing whether to cry, scream or throw up."
Why does throbstick go to such lengths to try and make canuck look bad? lol throbstick are you obsessed? Why, if you dont like canuck, do you actually spend time deliberately finding, copying and pasting this b.s on here? You clearly feel something towards him... or you would just be indifferent like most people (pcretard ignored of course...)
so... I'm trying to figure out: 1. what makes you think for sure that canuck is a toronto police officer, and if so which one and how you think that 2. what all this has to do with the vid. Which was awesome
And what does this rant have to do with this clip?? Get a life or get on to a new clip. I am sick of a few idiots using this as their own private soapbox. What you say may be important or maybe not but STAY ON TOPIC.
sheeeeeesh....things here are getting really uncomfortable. Don't know who zamp is, but is obviously trying to minimize throb's assertions. Am wondering if throb has a vested interest in criminalizing canuck. He (Canuck) is a pain, barely tolerable with his self-puffery...sometimes amusing...often off-putting...but not deserving of trial-by-accusation. Guess I'll just stand aside and watch the show.
Have at it, chat-room members. For once, the side commentary is more interesting than the video (sorry wolf, I thought it barely made an acceptable level of watchability).
.....dear me....I so wanted your approval, Canadaduck...forgive me. Frankly, I check Glumbert far less than a number of my fellow-posters. And there are soooo many threads...after a while, I just don't go back that far...my bad. While I'm at the business of being humble, let me note that a recent posting of mine regarding comments critical of the 'merican public was not aimed at you. There were, on various threads, comments like "and what are the American people doing about it"...and "the American people just stand there doing nothing" and like that. Honestly, I can't point a finger...there are just so many postings, one can not review them all. If I wish to offend you, you will not be confused about it...I'll be quite clear. At this point I have learned to enjoy maybe 60% of your stuff...you CAN be quite entertaining when you lose the scat...and you do that quite well.
Anyway, your bet needs to be framed differently...and I'll say, I LOVE the smoked salmon we have enjoyed in the past from our Candian friends (he caught them and smoked them himself.....I drool at the memory). We moved some time ago and no longer get to share wine tours and such...our loss.
Police brutality is rampant in Toronto. Statistically speaking, it is likely that canuck a) participates in it or b) turns a blind eye to it. Some of his tainted assertions and commentary here would suggest the former.
"(Canuck) is a pain, barely tolerable with his self-puffery...sometimes amusing... often off-putting"
Truer (more true, I suppose) words have not been spoken on Glumbert. And not to single that tool Canuck out, all those self-important comment superfriends (and enemies) can GTFO. No one cares about your little insults or "earth-shattering" debates.
This is not a chat room or forum, it's a video site. You watch the videos and comment on them. Maybe make a joke or quick response to someone else's opinion. That's it. In no way should it degrade into days long arguments or insult gang wars. Only you and the 3 other pompous asses in your verbal cluster f@$# care about what you're talking about. The rest of us sit around, half longing for the days when comments weren't an option and the cesspool they've become was the farthest thing from anyone's mind.
Simply put useddouche from your cliche response.. He's absolutely correct, you won't admit it because either yourself or perhaps another alias in which you sadly possess is in this magical feud of wits.
Now S9lecomp let me try to reiterate your statement on this whole comment box to those whom are lacking in cultivation, perception, or taste.
This now old comment feature on glumbert allows participants to articulate their imagined audience, or who they see being a part of their world within this site. Those who think they aren't interesting enough and are afraid of being ignored, infact change the way they talk and create a unique persona in which they act as opposed to thier real life. Also some use this as a learning tool, (especially if they are adolescent or need to find thier social presence) to make sense of the social norms that regulate society, they let people learn to express themselves and learn from the reactions of others, and they let people make certain acts or expressions 'real' by having witnesses acknowledge them. Just like journalists, participants in social network sites imagine their audience and speak according to the norms that they perceive to be generally accepted. The difference is that journalists are trying to carefully craft a message to energise a targeted audience while teenagers are shooting the breeze, showing off, and just plain hanging out amongst the people they call friends. The ephemeral speech that would be acceptable in any unmediated public with a homogeneous audience is not nearly so well-received in a mediated public with variable audiences. Context is only one complication of this architecture. Another complication has to do with scale. When we speak without amplification, our voice only carries so far. Much to the dismay of fame-seekers, just because the Internet has the potential to reach millions, the reality is that most people are heard by very few. While I can argue that ‘just because we can, doesn't mean we should’, it is foolish to assume that society will quietly take up conscientious restraint in this hyperpublic infrastructure. By providing just a taste of how social technologies have altered the architecture of public life, my goal is to whet the reader's appetite. The Internet mirrors and magnifies all aspects of social life, sure you can say "I do this to get a rise out of people", while infact your risky behaviour online, is typically a sign that you may engaged in risky behaviour offline. What im expecting are mundane responses, for which i don't care to read.
So this is where i bid you all adieux. I believe ive pissed in the glumbert breeze enough for one evening and will now continue to use the 'hide comments' feature from now on. adios, auf viedersehn, aloha etc..
Now that rabz has fucked off, we only need throbstick to do the same so the comments section on vids won't be cluttered up with huge long posts of annoying bullshit that people don't care to read.
How about commenting on the videos just once, eh throbber? Fuck off to a Yahoo chatroom if you want to dribble shit all day....
If this clip is supposed to be funny, then I feel the intelligence of the human race is dire. Why even post it Glumbert?
I agree, rabz, throbstick and pcretard should drop their stupid, petty attacks that just make them look more and more like fools.. so what if you dont agree with canucks comments, just ignore what you dont like... surely it isnt hard...
So true. Acting like a 4 year old doesn't make people think more of you or that you are smarter than everyone else. If you don't like someone elses opinion then briefly say so and leave it at that, don't drag all of us through your life stories. Either that or shut up.
Don't get a big head Canuck, I ain't sticking up for you..........there are things you have said in the past that I don't agree with, but was grown up enough to keep my mouth shut and leave my own opinions where they belong. Everyone needs to stop acting like little bitches, it's growing very old, very fast.......
Attention 'glumbert spokesperson', watch the video again, theres an underlying message in this parody which is closely knit with the way the younger generaton is being exploited by major corporate organisations which is leading to a continuum of low- self esteem and forcing some to feel like meer objects. Sure, it was meant to be funny in a way.. but its deeper than that. The lack-of intelligence you speak of must be from your own backyard.
PS. stratus, why am i being targetted as a threat to the balance of this comment community? The only person ive ever disagreed with is pcracists imbocile and derogatory remarks.
PPS. Im back and im staying, you can't do anything about it. I need my daily glumbert fix, like i want a cig and coffee in the morning. I also love these challenging debates here its too much fun! [[ Note to Self : Comment more on the video related topic ]]
Recall your post, "I agree, rabz, throbstick and pcretard should drop their stupid, petty attacks that just make them look more and more like fools.. so what if you dont agree with canucks comments, just ignore what you dont like... surely it isnt hard..."
lol douchebag i would ignore it if it were offensive to me or something... as it is i just find it funny so i comment too... do forgive my interferrence :) .... lol
Well, I cheer rabz's decision to continue. Suggest a continuation of quality, as has marked his past posts, and a lessening of another past characteristic - quantity. Having hit the speed bump myself a short while back, it's useful to note that this is, in fact, a chat room. Once one swallows that pill, recovery from idealism is on its way.
First! (Time posint in here)
This video is a parody based on Bratz dolls. I played a major role in it. http://www.apa.org/pi/wpo/sexualizationsum.html should be cut and pasted here instead of the rest of this crap.
