I read Acts of Gord years ago but just rediscovered it. Poor Gord is a Canadian who runs (ran?) a video-game store. He sounds like a perfectly reasonable, funny guy...I picture Comic Book Guy from "The Simpsons" if he had that same giant ego but was a little saner and a better businessman.
Anyway, poor Gord is tormented daily by the kuh-raziest customers this side of an insane asylum. If you hold a cherished, vaunted image of Canadians as the calm, sane cousin of we nutty Americans, man, will this site dissuade you...because these particular Canucks are as loony as their money. Hilarious.
About Me
- Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
- I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog, Facebook, and Twitter.
