Yes, it’s come time again for the holiday that’s so shamelessly about cheap consumerism, it makes even our heads spin.

All the same, we can’t help but get into the spirit a little bit. Destiny Kaus writes about the cold impersonality of tec break ups on page 7, and we’ve left you a nice present on the back page. We hope it tides you over until we return on Feb. 27.

Such pun, wow.

The Euromaiden movement in the Ukraine appears to have reached a watershed moment. To try to quell the protests in Kiev, anti-protest legislation has been passed. This is expected to cause even more violence in an already turbulent situation.
In what I hope will be a recurring column, contributor Koby Schwab talks about the latest goings-on in the video game industry. This week, a review of the punniest game yet known to man, Octodad: Dadliest Catch.

the manifesto
In keeping with our reckless, devil-may-care image, our office has absolutely no concrete information on the Carillon’s formative years readily available. What follows is the story that’s been passed down from editor to editor for over forty years. In the late 1950s, the University of Regina planned the construction of several new buildings on the campus grounds. One of these proposed buildings was a belltower on the academic green. If you look out on the academic green today, the first thing you’ll notice is that it has absolutely nothing resembling a belltower. The University never got abelltower, but what it did get was the Carillon, a newspaper that serves as a symbolic bell tower on campus, a loud and clear voice belonging to each and every student.

If you thought the raging security, stray dogs, brown water and awkwardly close toilets were bad, you have another thing coming. Hosting the Olympics can prove to have far more financial detriments than benefits.
Hooray for feminism.
So last week, Emily Wright pissed a lot of people off. Luckily for our op-ed editor, one of them wrote a response article. In the spirit of intelligent debate, Sonia Stanger defends feminism.

Last week, we ran a graphic spread for Chinese New Year. What we neglected to do was credit our own Farron Ager for taking the photos. We’ve apologized to Farron on several occasions over the past week, and he has yet to say a word to us. Sorry, bud.
In other news: After a recent interview with KTLA 5, scientists have discovered that not all African-Americans are Samuel L. Jackson. “We thought we were casting Samuel L. Jackson in the first Iron Man,” explained an embarrassed Jon Favreau. “When Terrence Howard left, we thought we were re-casting the part to Samuel L. Jackson. Boy were our faces red when Don Cheadle showed up.”
