Peterborough Band The Burning Hell's Van Broken Into In Europe On Last Day Of Tour

/

The Burning Hell, a band based out of Peterborough, Ontario and St. John's, Newfoundland, had their van broken into in Poland this morning—see photo at left—on the last day of their European tour, the band tweets.

All their money to pay for tour expenses has been stolen.

So the band has taken to Facebook and asked for donations to help get them back home.

Sexist Bar Ad In Peterborough That Crosses The Line

/

After our post the other day, "Local Health Organizations Justifably Concerned About 'Free Girl With Every Can' Beer Billboards", a PtboCanada female reader tipped us off about the poster (at right) downtown at the White House Hotel advertising cheap beer. "Honestly, I found it worse than the Old Milwaukee campaign," she said to us.

Now we know sexist beer ads are ubiquitous, but does that make it right to continue to create posters like this?

We say no way. Take the thing down.
