Remember that joke Sarah Silverman told at the MTV VMA’s? The one about how Britney is 25 and accomplished everything she’s going to accomplish in her life?

Not to throw any pressure on Shiloh Jolie-Pitt or anything, but she’s barely 1 and she’s already hit the top of a Forbes list:

The ‘Most Influential Infants’ in pop culture.

1. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
2. Suri Cruise
3. Zahara Jolie-Pitt
4. Sean Preston Federline
5. Pax Jolie-Pitt
6. Sam Alexis Woods (daughter Tiger Woods)
7. David Banda (son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie)
8. Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead
9. Cruz and Romeo Beckham (tie)

*Ahem*! Where’s Le Grand Monsieur?

When the 2010 Olympic Mascots were announced a couple of weeks ago, much of the fanfare was given to the cute Miga and the rough and tumble Quatchi.

Little girls like Miga.  Little boys like Quatchi.  I liked Sumi.

Well, it seems like everyone else agrees.  As we crash down on Christmas the Sumi dolls are the ones in short supply. 

Miga and Quatchi are mascots for the Winter Games, while Sumi looks over the Paralympic Games.  I wonder if that has something to do with the popularity.  He’s the superhero for kids with a busted wing.

Sumi is an animal guardian spirit that is part-bear, part-thunderbird and wears an orca whale hat.

Sumi can do it, so they’ve got someone to look up to and lead the way.

So Brian Mulroney is in Ottawa continuing his sombre mea culpa in front of a Commons Committee about what he did and didnt do with Karlheinz Schreiber.

I dont think jail time or charges will follow but can we just pretend that Ben Mulroney is the one that did a whole bunch of things that were a little shady?  Then we could send him off to Majorca in exile!

That would be sooooo cool.

It’s the final day of Nat and Drew’s Foodbank FillUp. All week we’ve been broadcasting from Safeway locations across Metro Vancouver collecting food and money and raising awareness for the plight of those using Foodbanks in our community.

We’ve heard stories of new Canadians struggling to get their life going. We’ve heard about Olympic athletes using Foodbanks while they train to represent their country. We’ve heard about seniors without pensions, single parent families struggling with disease.. the list goes on, the theme is consistent. These people don’t want to be in Foobank lineups, they just are in Foodbank lineups.

So we raised a lot of money and collected a bunch of cans this week. Big deal.

Here’s how you can help every.single.time.you.shop:

Every grocery store across the city has a Foodbank box sitting by their door. You can pick up 1 extra can of soup or beans or tuna each time you do the shopping. Think about it, that would be 50cans a year or TWO CASES of food. Wow!

When you get to the til, rip off a SHARE SOME BC GOODNESS COUPON. They’re staring you in the face everytime you pay for your groceries. It’s $2 added to your bill. The money stays at the store as a credit for the local Foodbank so when they come it to do their shopping money is sitting there waiting for them. That could be a $100 donation at the end of the year to the Foodbank that certainly wouldnt feel like $100.

There is not 1 Foodbank for all of Metro Vancouver, each community has their own so when you make a donation to your local foodbank, you are helping people in your community. Your neighbours, and I literally mean your neighbours.

It’s Christmas, it’s better to give than receive. Well you know what? You can have that giving feeling all year long and it won’t be a pain to do at all.

Thanks for making another Foodbank FillUp a huge success. Here’s wishing we won’t have to do this next year.
