Hey guys,

At last, here are some pictures that I had uploaded from the Simple Plan concert in Toronto (along with Faber Drive, Cute is what we aim for and Metro Station):

The full pictures from the concert can be viewed on my photobucket or at the one at flickr. In other news, while exercising at a local community centre training club, I stumbled upon a TV commercial from the French nuclear power provider called “Areva”. The commercial reminsces me of Bell’s pixel corp commercial and the tune set in Areva’s commercial is from a group in the 1970s or 1980s called “Lipps inc.”. The song is called “Funkytown”.

Here’s some varations of the commercial (some in English, the other in French. Spoilers: There is one particular scene that is different some of the ones show China while the others show “Metropolitan avenue” or something like that. I highly suggest that you should review those commercials).
