The Instigator at CBC sports

Over winter break, as an offshoot of my JoMC711 class blog, I set up a blog on the 2007 NHL All-Star game, set to be be played January 24, 2007 in Dallas, which wound up being the unofficial campaign blog of write-in candidate Rory Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick eventually got over 500,000 votes, just 23,000 votes short of a starting spot. All voting was done online. On January 9, CBC Sports ran an online cartoon in its Instigator hockey cartoon series about the online campaign. The cartoon ran all across Canada earlier this week. I had downloaded it to my PC Tuesday, and uploaded it to my blog today using Picasa. The cartoon portrays the online campaign as having been run by a bunch of geeks and nerds.
