However, I predict that these two controversies will pale next to these two:
- The government of Canada has banned smiles on all new passport photos. And as luck would have it, just before I have to go an renew mine. Yes, I'm smiling in my last one, and yes, I think it looks good.
- An Ontario MPP (that's "Member of Provincial Parliament" to those of you outside Canada) tried to pass a member's bill banning dwarf-tossing. This, in spite of the fact that the dwarf whose tossing the bill was drafted at the 11th hour to stop says that he wants to be tossed. I suspect some of my more granola-headed hookah-addled associates from Crazy Go Nuts University might say that he's got a case of self-hatred from living in a heightist society, an altocracy, if you will. The full text of the bill is here.
