Let's see... we've had octo-gate... we've had Blackhawks goal song-gate... nearly commando Commodore makin' it rain-gate.... and now..
logo-gate?
By now most of you have probably heard about Oregon senate hopeful Marc Delphine's rip off of the CBJ's logo. If not here is a screen shot from his web site before the logo was yanked courtesy of Puck-daddy:
You just can't make stuff up like this folks.
The logo ripoff is one thing but how about Delphine's response - again quotes courtesy of Puck-daddy:
"They were all like, 'What are you doing with their logo?' and I was like, 'I didn't make the logo!' and we pulled it immediately," said Delphine, a Libertarian candidate making history as the first openly homosexual man to run for the U.S. Senate in Oregon. "I'm not interested in any kind of infringement. We don't even need a logo."
Don't need it now eh? Not my fautl! Sounds like he'll fit right in as a politician.
He said he hoped his candidacy wouldn't become synonymous with this logo foul-up. "If anything, I hope this raises awareness for the Columbus Blue Jackets," said Delphine.
Raises awareness? What... are the Jackets some kind of disease?
(Well if losing is a disease then perhaps he's got a point but I digress...)
Is there a # I can text a donation to?
Does this clown think he's doing the Jackets a favor here? I'm sure the folks in Oregon are about as aware of the Jackets as the folks in Ohio are about an openly gay homosexual running for US Senate in Oregon.
My question is how long did it take for the intern who "designed" this to find a pink slip in their stocking once the Jackets legal department picked up the phone?
The saddest part about this entire thing is this is probably the most national press the Jackets have gotten all season.
..but hey, at least the people in Oregon now know the Columbus Blue Jackets exist.
Man it sucks to suck!
Thanks to Kevin and Tom for the heads up yesterday on this!
