IT'S WAR!!!
BLC vs. Torontoist
BetterLivingCentre is now locked in a vicious death spiral with the recently-launched, Torontoist. And there's gonna be bloody combat & carnage! Some are already betting on the BLC!
And for good reason, we already made short work of the sloppy, dodgy, lame Toronto Metroblog.
It's the ol' David & Goliath story ... in blog form! Tiny upstart, local, independent operation (us) takes on the giant invader (them); Torontoist is, of course, a franchise of the Gothamist chain of cityblogs, written by some National Posties working for free in exchange for being associated with the IST bandwagon. So go peruse 'em and enjoy 'em, but realize that any ad revenue you generate for them is being sucked off to the ol' US of A ...
... and that feeling of being colonized is apparent from just looking at the Torontoist banner. What are some of those buildings? Is the first skyscraper the Scotiabank Tower or the Madison Building in North York? Why is the CN Tower so top-heavy? Is that the Skydome or someone's testicles? And that streetcar ... it's a streetcar, right? ... it's kinda blocky.
And so, the first battle of the war begins: the BetterLivingCentre challenges Torontist to UPDATE IT'S BANNER! Fix it! It's WRONG!
Also, one thing you won't find on Torontoist: an all-new Ms. Johnson!
I am, on this day, putting Torontoist on notice. Be prepared to experience great pain! Be prepared to face an onslaught of blogging fury the likes of which you have never seen! Torontoist, with Blog as my witness, YOU ARE GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
BRING IT!
