Ever think all of that talk about subliminal advertising was paranoid bunk? Think again.
An eagle-eyed viewer of Iron Chef America caught a McDonald’s image snuck into 1/30th of a second of the broadcast. Inside Edition picked up on this and followed up with both the network and McDonald’s. The network says it was an accident and McDonald’s says they don’t do subliminal ads.
Accident or evil? You decide.
Download Nickelback’s new single “Gotta Be Somebody” mp3 for free.
I’m looking forward to listening to this new Nickelback song but I wouldn’t be surprised if, as usual, they’ve plagiarized from their own songs. I tend to find all Nickelback melodies sound very similar.

On Smart Canucks new Store Reviews section Koala posted a helpful article on how to avoid getting cheated at Canadian Tire’s Scratch and Win Events. Here’s what she had to say:
First I will post the correspondance and then add further comment:
To Canadian Tire Customer Service [email protected]

Composed Sept 16/08
I am writing to you to comment on your recent Birthday Bash Promo. On Sunday Sept 14/08 I shopped at Canadian Tire, Barton Street, Hamilton. I presented my scratch ticket to the cashier. She scratched it in a fashion that the results were concealed, and she said after she threw it in the garbage that there were no more cakes left.
Now my concern is, I did not witness the reveal, nor she did not show it to me. When asked to see it, her reply was “too late…it’s in the garbage.”
Was the prizing actually a cake or $5 or whatever. It would been easy to identify the ticket as the back was completed with name and the answer to the skill testing question.
I am very disatisfied in how this was handled, and do not appreciate the rude mannerisms of the cashier.For your convenience

The fine folks over at makeuseof.com have put together a fantastically frugal list of 10 freeware alternatives to popular commercial Mac programs. Alternatives to iWork, PhotoShop CS3 and Parallels are amongst the list of needlessly pricey software to have a freeware counterpart.
As a recent Mac-adopter (recent-ish — it’s been about 18 months) I can’t help but wonder how many SmartCanuckers join me in the cult of Mac. Speak up and be heard, fellow Mac users!
Have you been saving up your Shopper’s Optimum points for a big splurge on cosmetics or perfume? Then you’re going to want to cash those in this weekend.
This Friday and Saturday only you can redeem 40,000 points for $100 worth of beauty products or 75,000 points for $200 worth. Normally those point totals would net you $75 and $100 respectively, so you’re definitely getting a nice little bump on your spending spree.
Items that qualify? Make-up, nail care, hoisery, facial skin care, fragrances, jewellery, bath foam and gel, and hair colouring. Happy shopping!
If you’re at all into the video game side of life, chances are you’ve been waiting with post-apocalyptic bells on for the release of Fallout 3 this October. If you’re too young to remember the original though, GameTap has a special treat in store. As of this week, Fallout is now available for download as part of their free service.
For those of you that haven’t checked out GameTap yet, it’s well worth a look. They started out as a pay service a few years back, but quickly realized that offering free and pay options would help to expand their clientele. Their free service offers dozens of great games — everything from arcade classics like Space Invaders to releases from only a few years ago like Tomb Raider: Legend. If you like games and you like free stuff, give it a peek.
