Chef Fall Down Go Boo-Boo: Canada's Highly Effective Workplace PSA

Posted By on Mon, Dec 10, 2007 at 9:00 AM

For god's sake kitchen staff, be careful, lest you end up like the gloating young woman in this shocking (and shockingly well-done) PSA produced by the Canadian Workplace Safety & Insurance Board. One question: did they really have to show her horribly burned face like that?

Posted By on Mon, Dec 10, 2007 at 9:00 AM

Can't wait to see the beautiful/terrible results of this:

"To spread the holiday cheer, Eater is offering $100 to the person who sends in a photo of the most outrageous holiday decorations from a restaurant or bar. Notice a storefront that is so bad it's great? Point, click and send your gaudy, gauche findings to sf@eater.com. It's the easiest $100 you'll ever make."

Ok, we are officially in the Holiday Spirit. We've found our drinking rhythm and today we're not nearly as hungover as at the Pre-Party. We even went so far as to tip the Bayshore tree lot guy $10 on a $40 tree, because we were high. On spirit.

Now this fat, squat, Noble fir motherfucker is upright in our living room, glowing with the light of 1,000 LEDs. We're loving that smell of desiccating coniferous evergreen and we imagine all the surviving Christmas trees respond in kind — hanging humans out to dry in the deep forest, enjoying the fragrance of our essential oils and volatile organic compounds as we rot and decompose.

See, that pine smell is basically like b.o., but for a tree. And we wholeheartedly support the pit-stank of nature. This is your Monday Morning Hangover, I'm your CSI, David Downs.

We start with the quick A/V hit:

'Dorks Launch Flight of the 23-foot, $7,000 model X-Wing' (Good shit at minute 2)

You say the vid is old? From November 27? Ehh, fuck it, it's news to us. Stop hanging around YouTube so much. And now the Audio from L.A's acoustic/death metal/folk star Nate Denver. Stream that shit. He's going to be a star.

Now, WTF happened this weekend? Once again, we were everywhere and nowhere, like Jesus himself. We simultaneously ranked up 20 times on Call of Duty 4, while going to all this stuff. Since we're omniscient, bitches, we caught:

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
