Content!

As in, stuff.

Not to be confused with stuffed. Me want food.

People can get all the cutting edge content they need right here on the Oilers official Website

No, what I'm talking about here is "content", Oilers Style™. In fact, I'm not the one talking about it all, but others are. Others like Alan Watt and J.J. Hebert as interviewed by David Staples.

If you like cray-zay, you'll looove this article.

Warning! Apropo of nothing, Star Wars is my official filler for this post!

And now for something that actually does makes me content. Andy Grabia -of Battle of Alberta- has posted a great article concerning honours done to Mr. Joey Moss.

You know what makes a community great? The people, that's what. And if a corporation that spends 100 million dollars a year to put a product on the ice can engender some of that good community spirit, then good on 'em.

But they're not getting my 17 bucks a shot for Pay-Per-View this year. That's right. As small as my action is, I'm taking it nonetheless. As Princess Leia is so fond of saying, "If money is all you care about, then that's exactly what you'll receive."

Only in this case they won't. And they're not anything like Han Solo. So analogies aren't my strong suit.

Who knew?

In my ridiculous opinion, the Oilers PR department screwed up royally on this whole issue and until I'm a gruntled customer again I'll listen to Stauffer and his newly neutered blandness, or better yet: find some illicit Live Blogging to read, since Everyone knows it takes the place of actually watching the game, and in no way is Live Blogging a fan crafted companion to the game, making it more enjoyable for everyone involved. Not at all.

My eyes just rolled out of my skull from all that eye rolling.

So, dear true believers, you all look fantastic from down here on the dusty floor. All four of you.

How about that original Star Wars trailer?

Covered In Oil Blogger Booted from Game! (Now with Updates)

As a Fan, I guess I bleed Corporation?

Check for the update below...

By now, most of you who happen by the OILBLOBOSPHERE! know about THIS.

I've already made my comments at Dave Staples' blog and on CiO so I won't repeat myself, but I will say that I hope Oilogosphere writers whom I respect and visit daily don't cheap out and keep silent on the issue to cover their own asses in hopes of getting their own Golden Press Ticket in the future. There's something to be said for looking out for Number One while silently scooting the remains of your colleague under the bus. What's said is: coward.

To the Edmonton Oilers Organization: stupid stupid stupid.

This story is spreading like wildfire.

As an aside, I made the mistake of checking out reaction at HFBoards. Can someone please tell me how the myth and meme that "bloggers" want to be "journalists" got started? What a joke.

I hear this repeated on radio, see it on TV and and I can't grasp how someone who might glance over a site like mine would ever think I'm a frustrated writer who's trying to make the grade. Jebus! I'm just an average fan with rudimentary computer skills.

Guys like Grabia, DMFB, Mirtle...you know, actual writers who already get paid for it? These guys aren't blogging for their writing careers, they're doing for the fun.

And this past event is leaving a sour taste in everyone's mouth.

Anyway, to all you idiots out there: the majority of fan blogs out there are for one purpose alone: having fun and expressing an opinion you can't find in MSM. Please clue in.

**UPDATE**

Check this out, it's worth the few minutes. Bob Costas talks about bloggers and the internet. Bluster galore.
