Colour coordinate your Tazer: Designed with your lifestyle in mind!

Well with all the media coverage on Tasers causing bodily harm I came across this product. Not only will it match your clothing but it will provide you with personal protection.

*Only-booger

Condo life is good for the single person or the downtown yuppies with puppies. I didn’t understand the line-up outside 1 Bloor Street East until I realized that those waiting were paid labour, including some homeless people.
