Well, not really. I just wanted to show this that I just noticed on Gord's board:



What's your favourite story about Canada bureaucratic dumbassery?

Notice that the Employers "name" is listed as PC bang Ltd.
I take it koreans have cornered the Canadian cybercafe market already...

Did Gord finally open his PC bang? I thought it was in Korea.

That's one place to which every Dave's poster should make a pilgrimage.

When I was going to school in Newfoundland, I sent quite a few boxes of things back and forth between there and Alberta. Inevitably the idiots at Canada Post lost a box. I remember the claim form:

a. Is the package you sent missing?
b. If it is missing, has it arrived yet?

I never did get it. And I didn't send the form, thinking that they'd probably lose that too.

What's _"the"_ PC Bang? PC bangs in general? Sounds like a Korean wrote that.

haha... Gord is quite the internet celebrity with the gamers (most known because of his old site: http://www.actsofgord.com/ )... I know him because my boyfriend is old friends with him and we stayed with him when we first came to Korea.

Anyways, the "PC Bang" is the PC room (all pimped out Korean style) that he opened back home in BC, Canada last year. The name of the business is PC Bang.

Feel good story of the century. I'm serious.

In Gord -- and Kurt Russel -- we trust.

He should mess with them and send a check for zero dollars.

I'd be surprised if he hasn't already.

So is this where I write them a cheque for zero dollars and zero cents, or should I prepare a sign that says "put me in the jail"?


Oh yeah, here's the PC Bang website too:

Of course, they seem to be aware that automated billing sends out these bills, hence "A balance of less than two dollars is neither due nor refunded".
