Although I kept thinking "Parental Guidance", I'm pretty sure it stands for Prince George, seeing as it's in Prince George.

Here are a few large objects you can find in the Detroit, Michigan area.

Oh, for goodness sake people...

I uploaded the other video yesterday, with the intention of putting it up on LRR on Wednesday. We're not trying to be tricky or keep things from you, just spread out our updates. Jeez.

In future, if you notice something in our Revver account that isn't online yet, just leave it alone, it'll be up soon enough.

...Meh. It was decently funny, although the bits were a bit predictable (especially the last guy). But the running was just out there.

Decent. Not your best. Good enough for entertainment though.

Yup! Exactly, not complaining. We've had what, three videos in the last week? It's entertaining stuff, even if it's not hilarious. I pretty much like to watch any decent to well-made videos as long as they don't suck; great way to pick up video skillz.

If I may add to the list of BC's largest, Sparwood has the "worlds largest truck" as seen here : http://www.sparwood.bc.ca/titaninf.htm

Seeing as Sparwood is way on the other side of BC, it's easy to understand why it didn't make your list, but I'll put it up for public knowledge.

Also, the difference between provinces and territories I believe is mostly concerning how the government works and what it can do. I just spent a week in Inuvik NWT, and some of the locals can be rather sticky on getting you to call it a territory. This link may explain more : http://www.canadian-politics.com/provinces/differences.shtml

I actually didn't bother to read it all, but I'm sure it could answer some questions.

It must be a hassle to all the businesses that have to be accessible to giant wheelchairs.

Graham's just keeping it relevant for the future, for when Quebec celebrates. His videos are futuristically topical.

I would like to mention that I think the dialogue for the wheelchair was fantastic.

Also, that "PG Man" makes me think there are other men who are not PG. I think a few of them run this site, actually.
Deemed too hazardous for human contact.

Pretty much all of us. Despite his monumental size, PG man is lacking certain key attributes that, while important, render males inappropriate for PG audiences. His shortcomings render him suitable for nearly all audiences, despite his lack of pants.

Oh, no. Ducks make Japanese tentacle porn look gentle and inviting. External appearances can be - and in this case are - quite deceiving.

Although it's true that neither Donald nor PG Man have pants.

No, it has nothing to do with the Internet. It's biology.

Ducks, and several other species of bird, have really grody reproductive systems. Thanks goodness they're internal. Most of the time.

Oh My God!

I'm from Williams Lake. I saw you guys filming the wheelchair, specifically I saw the "It's a bit shoddy," moment. I said to my mom, I said, "What the Hell are they doing?"

That is hilarious!
