At least we don’t see those “Wazzup” signs, the “I love you, man …” plackards or the three frogs saying something like ” Ver …Lan … der.”

I’ve been listening to 90s on 9 on my XM, can you tell?

“Are people that desperate to be on national television for five seconds that they’ll stoop to dedicate time and material to the scheduled programming following the game?”

Why do you continue to ask questions to which you already know the answer?

I agree, however, that this MasterCard advertising, while genius marketing on their part, is getting quite tired. How long has this ad campaign been around, anyway? How much longer will it go? How many more kinda stupid copycat jokes will it spawn?

And yeah, who the hell pays $500 for dinner in Detroit? Where do you rack up a bill like that? Perhaps it was at Motor City Casino and they’re adding the obligatory $300 lost at the slots.

Whatever. Detroit Sucks. Onward Penguins.

Media Credential: $0
Gas to and from Detroit: ~$25
Parking: $10
Being 30 seconds from seeing the Stanley Cup, only to have it ripped out from underneath you even if you don’t like the damn team, having to watch what might as well have been an entire second game, only to see it get pissed away on a BS penalty call, and getting home at THREE IN THE FREAKING MORNING: worthless.

Honestly, I didn’t know how media types got to the whole “joyless” part of their job until last night. It was one of those “he loved Big Brother” moments.
