After I realized it wasn’t a movie (what? I had just woken up), that it was happening in my beloved Toronto, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love vintage ads. They certainly didn’t beat around the bush back then. They told you, in very frank and explicit terms, why you needed to buy this product — you were too fat, you were too ugly, you were single!
In these times of subliminal messaging, where the misogyny behind an ad is hidden in subtext [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, I went to a club to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The music wasn’t particularly moving me (my friend, Catherine, kept scowling over a house remix of Oasis’ “Wonderwall”), so I started to people-watch.
The key to people-watching is subtlety – you don’t want to be too obvious about it, and you don’t want to [...]]]></description>

We all remember it — it’s [...]]]></description>

I know what has happened to your sexual life. This cruel disaster is called impotence.
Um, I think the Chinese, Haitians and Chileans would disagree with what you consider a ‘disaster’.
Bonus email!
Sexual impotence in men is one of the most poorly explored medical impairments.
