Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

This Is Funny (And Sad)


http://www.massholesports.com/2011/05/bruins-ads-dissing-tampa-bay-lightning.html

The Boston Bruins run a series of caustic ads lampooning their playoff opponents, the one above being from a Philly-Boston series last year.

Philly phans responded lamely but in kind with attempts at mocking the Boston faithful.

Meanwhile a Tampa DJ freaked out and had his "minions" call the Bruins to have the ads removed.  Apparently death threats were involved.

I realize that whining and perpetual victimhood are the new American benchmarks, but despite getting the signs removed (you can see them at the link), Tampa loses this round.

It's hockey.  It's supposed to be a bit malevolent.

Bruins 1-Lightning 0
