...other new transport option: scooter taxis. These zippy little Platinum Jungle scooters will get you to your destination about 30% quicker than a regular cab, the hotel p.r. says. Sure, the 150cc motor sounds more like a electric shaver than an engine, but you'll have the last laugh as you weave through the gridlock, leaving motorists in your wake. Scooter fares start from a mere $1. For the Merc, you're looking at $45 an hour, or $95 for a one-way airport transfer - but you'd better be traveling light if booking the latter...
...five people had been hospitalized, and that chairs and windows had been broken in the ensuing chaos. Everyone wanted to know what so many police cars had been doing blocking off the street, but no one seemed to think it was racially motivated. Several people did get a good laugh from looking up the lyrics of the hip-hop song that had supposedly started the fight (“Knuck If You Buck,” by Crime Mob). One of my blockmates even reported that her Spanish class had excitedly discussed the fight at “the black...
...before we laugh it off, we must admit that there is something fundamentally unsettling about the idea of Hell.

But I think it is time to gather around a director who has embraced his octogenarian bleakness and sing his praises. Ultimately, I think you'll laugh a lot at what he has wrought here - but only well after the movie is over and the full scale of its perversity settles into your bones...
...debut novel of the same name, he cast himself as the passive observer. In stepping back from time and cultural context, he held all the naivety, hypocrisy, and sheer idiocy of North America’s consumer-driven society in our collective face for us to laugh at. And laugh we did, all the way up until the bizarre, self-referential ending to 2006’s quirky “JPod.” But something has been lost in his latest work. In the humorless and melancholy “Gum Thief,” Coupland seems dangerously...
