News Report
Hate walking? There’s an awkward new way of getting around the streets of Toronto: Baxi, the piggyback taxi service.
Baxi
driver
walker Nick Latimer hangs out in Queen West wearing a pig nose and a pink “Baxi” t-shirt, and will (literally!) pick up passengers for a fee.
The service is a promotional stunt for Latimer’s film, Hogtown, a noir-ish tale of a Baxi-turned-killer.
Here’s the synopsis:
An insomniac who spends his nights piggybacking people in a nightmare of a city known as Hogtown. Carl Gilmour (a.k.a. Baxi) piggybacks a slew of scum bags ranging from the mildly annoying to the armed and dangerous. These “pigs” push Carl to the edge of sanity forcing him to violent, bloody street justice. A vigilante is born. Piggybacker by day, butcher by night.On second thought, I’ll just take the subway.

Stupid People In The News Report
Twenty-year-old Michael Baker of Jenkens, Kentucky, was charged last month with stealing gasoline from a police cruiser after he posted photogrqphic evidence of the theft — complete with grin and bird-flip — on Facebook, where it was passed around town and eventually seen by local police.
The photo has since been taken down, but Baker’s Facebook page is still up. On his wall, he told a friend, “yea lol i went too (sic) jail over facebook.”
Baker posted bail yesterday.
