From the moment it was unleashed, it was widely regarded as the worst marketing slogan in the history of the world:

It sucked the life out of everything.
And now, as Rick mentioned yesterday, a new slogan is here.
 
"OUT FOR JUSTICE."
 
We love it for so many reasons.
 
1.) It makes limited sense, which is great.
Jay McKee mentioned it was pretty much nonsense.
And it references Steven Seagal.

What a tagline.
 
2.) This:
 
Half-tempted to walk into work today and keep asking if anyone knows why Richie did Bobby Lupo.
What an awkward scene.
 
3.)
 
4.) The shops. People are inspired:

Jump city for "Rupp in, Tenk out" rumors.
And the Green Men make another appearance in Vancouver.
 
 
Newspapers already bookmarked in our browsers:
Ottawa Sun
 
The big rumor going down right now is that Tenk will sit, and Rupp will play.
That's what the lines looked like in practice.
It's a move that is hard to agrue with.
Fedotenko looked borderline uninterested in Game One.
Pains us to do it, but Rob Rossi mentioned it.  [ TRIB ]

Should be on a bulletin board somewhere.
 
1:28 mark.  It truly is the playoffs.
 
Note: If the Pens game-production team played "A Hard Day's Night" 10 seconds after a crushing OT goal,
we would never go to another game.

@psamp saw the design concept page for Archer's space armor today. One concept had Archer in Xtacle armor. May have teared up.
