    Default Timbers Army already sells out -or- YES PITY

    http://www.droppingtimber.com/2011/0...te-chants.html

    According to sources I'm not even going to bother shaming, the people singing in this upcoming commercial are indeed TA, not paid extras.

    Between this, this, and Seattle (no source necessary), we need to figure out why Cascadia is so embarrassing and whether or not it's an airborne thing or a venereal disease.

    Or the Chest Bump video...can't seem to find it. Comedy gold...and embarrassing to football fans globally.

    Carey is a good owner.

    Selling out is the new keeping it real.

    Note to potential corporate sponsors: I'm available, let's talk.

    Is that what they are doing in the music industry? LOL

    Use to be the songs you would hear were like 20-25 years old.

    Now you got Hollerado used in a Rogers commercial and Martin Solveig used in a Trident commercial, the Ettes in a Kotex commerical. LOL

    There was a marketing meeting during the Supporters Summit in Toronto with all the SGs in attendance represented along with the league and director of marketing. You'd be very surprised who was open to the idea of supporters getting freebies in order to market to their own people....

    ^^ Is there some kind of code of silence involved in that meeting? Why not just say who it was rather than imply that we'd "be surprised"??

    no need to get into politics.

    To be honest, there was a debate and some people expressed interest in taking the convo further.

    The League put that on the agenda for that meeting.

    MOST of the SG's were interested in things like free paint for banners...
    or maybe a free tent for tailgates...
    you can't really fault groups, especially smaller ones from being interested in that.

    but no one was interested in "whoring."

    It's a fine line.

    People aren't buying music, but companies are still paying publishing fees to have songs placed in TV shows, commercials, video games, movies etc. Its one of the few ways musicians can still make money...its also why record labels are now demanding a percentage of publishing income - even though they have nothing to do with publishing.

    yeah i can't understand the difference between a corporation doing an embarrassing, corporate thing and a supporters group lending their voice and identity to an embarrassing, corporate thing either

    i mean, that commercial is an atrocity but at least it didn't have yeoman jiggling his tits in it

    I saw yeoman's tits jiggle once. I have nightmares
    “Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

    I watch up until the part where Bert comes out. Then I mute and hit X as rapidly as possible. It's so embarrassing for soccer fans everywhere.
