Music and Cartoons

Here's a mix made in Saskatoon! Let's mix cartoons with music now that cartoons are becoming big in popularity. We are seeking an artist or a million to come forward and share in some of our incredible revenues and innovative ideas. It could be music, a daily cartoon or both. The best artists will be ranked by popularity. More on this page.

Google Images: "Cartoon" , Not Funny

Disappointingly, when typing in the common word "cartoon" on Google's Image search, you might not get what you would want. That is unless you are searching for recent news stories about Denmark or terrorism or Al Quada or the Taliban or Iran or Muslims. There are actually very few actual cartoons on that first search page. It just looks like a bunch of violent protests.

Message to Google: Clean up your search engine before it gets spammed into the pit of the internet!

Unless everyone suddenly starts posting real cartoons under the search word "cartoon", then we might be witnessing the changing of the meanings of many common English language words. Is the English language under attack now?

New definition of the word "cartoon"= pictures of violent protests.

Wasn't a cartoon supposed to be a funny drawing or animation? What is this world coming to anyhoo? Let this be a warning to Google, do not use Saskatoon's name in vain! Our 'toons are sacred! This is not funny. You are making everyone Looney 'Toons. Cut the crap or you will be replaced. Live from Toon Town, this is SaskatoooooooooooonScanner.com

Super Bowl Spam

As we all make the decision to either ignore the Super Bowl or give in to the hype, the SaskatoonScanner.com team has refrained from making an exclusive "Super Bowl Blog". A sports blogs has been considered but it will have to wait until some real football is played this summer. As we all know, the CFL is a far better sport than the NFL could ever hope for, but when it come to media coverage and hype, the Super Bowl is pretty big. From last night's snow storm in the host city of Detroit, to the drunk media personnel rousing it up with all kinds of celebrities that have no clue who is even playing in the game on Sunday, it is really something. Being in Saskatoon, you would think that the TV coverage would be minimal at best but it seems that half of the channels on our TV have something to do with today's official keyword: "Super Bowl". There are far more important things to pay attention to today and it shows with the results of actual numbers on Google News. There are at least 5 bigger international stories than the Super Bowl but we will leave that discussion for our next blog.

Spam Update

Having made a few submissions to various blog submission sites, we have been watching the progress of the number of visits to the various blogs that we have created. So far, there has been very little effect on the stats. Surprisingly, the most popular blog has been the SaskatoonLiveScanner blog that is rarely updated however it is listed on our most visited page on SaskatoonScanner.com, the live scanner page of course. CanadianPrairieStorms is a close second but nothing compares to the success of the SaskatoonScannerPolls blog during the Canadian Federal Election. Most significantly though, is the fact that spam and viruses are making a big comeback in the past week since we began making submissions. This is something to take a more serious look at in the future. A spam blog is definitely in the works.
