Slight Changes Afoot...

You may have noticed that our logo has disappeared from the site, and also that you are now able to find us at DrunkJaysFans.com, instead of only the blogspot address (they both still work). I'm not going to lie to you... it hurts to shelve the logo, because that thing is fucking awesome, but later in the week we'll be putting some new ads on the site as part of an ad network, and after some discussion, we felt that it was just too similar to the Jays' Rogers-owned championship-era logo to push our luck with. So... we're now going to look for a replacement (submissions welcome) that we can be certain won't get us in any sort of hot, or even lukewarm water. No, we're not particularly happy about it, but nobody ever said selling out would be easy. . .

Anyway, this, I can assure you, is the only thing that's going to change about the site, apart from a couple of ads we'll be running, and, of course, the constant downward trajectory of our once-delightful content. We've run ads on here before, did podcasts for the Score, and nothing has changed except our gigantic fucking egos (especially mine, FYI). So, worry not, motherfuckers.

Cant wait to see your take on that chipmunk Pedroia wining MVP....

Thom said...

that's a load of clamchowda bullshit. Any other team than boston and he's not in the top 3.

John Gibbons Windbreaker said...

Id like to see Milton Bradley chase after that douchebag with a baseball bat as well.

Pedroia? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Holy fuck Stoeten,

By the end of '09 is the fuck off Parkes guy going to need to go through the trademark registration ?

Dustin Parkes said...

I assume you mean the McDonald's Fuck You Parkes guy.

Stoeten said...

Nickelback's Fuck You Parkes guy is a personal favourite.

I'm working on making this layout change as inoffensive as possible. Still not done here...

jesus fuckin dogshit. where's the drunk jays logo? now how am i supposed to tell what site i'm on? fuck. perdilla can fuck right off. roy for mvp.

Brendan said...

Selling out is cool and all...but Nickelback ads? There's something postmodern about that, but since I don't really understand the term I'm not sure what it is.

Colin said...

Why did you replace the logo with 2 versions of the site title? or is that only temporary?

mike in boston said...

as long as i can win a free nintendo Wii by clicking on a flashing banner ad i'll be happy.

can't believe the Little Pony won MVP. He's almost as annoying looking as Nomar.

Stoeten said...

We don't choose the ads, friends.

The logo shit is a bit of a clusterfuck right now... I'm working on it.

Colin said...

Nevermind, the title is singular again, but I no longer have a nice logo to click on to refresh/return me to the main page. :(

wheeler said...

You Fucking Douche bags! You are just a bunch of whores. Sell out Bitches.

And by that I mean. I'm terribly jealous of your success. Good job.

As an aside. I wrote douche bags and one word and it was quickly underlined red. I right clicked the error and there was the 1st suggested correction, douche bags. :)

Stoeten said...

Fixed the clickability of the logo thing. It will now take you back home, Colin. Also, I think that temporary logo looks better than just plain text, so that's what it's going to stay like tonight, because I'm outta here. But I'll keep playing with it over time.

Fuck off Parkes

Banner ads usually only work when the rest of the background (and logo ?) is not white, so it's not as overpowering. Also, if you keep the logo bigger than the ad (e.g. 1.5-2x) and put it on top, it will look more important. Ads in between posts (if possible) might also work.

Fuck off Parkes, brought to you by McDonald's. You deserve a break today, bitches!

According to Adify's marketing, you can 'Review and approve every ad'. I approve unapproving Nickelback.

Ian H. said...

Why not use that logo that Bergkamp made up - the one with the Blue Jay drinking the beer?

WOOZLEWAZZLE said...

I know you have no control over what gets advertised but...

YOU ARE ADVERTISING NICK FUCKING EL FUCKING BACK!

woozlewazzle said...

Oh, it's been mentioned. I am quite the fool.

Anonymous said...

1. take the search filter off google

2. type in drunk chicks

3. throw a blue jay logo on that



done

Stoeten said...

we're not with adify, exactly. we're with another ad network that's going through adify. we cannot take off nickelback. the ads rotate, though, and it will be gone on the 25th i think, if you're really so offended.

SP said...

People, Adblock Plus. It's a beautiful thing

Anonymous said...

Careful Stoeten,

The "keep us drunk..." part might get you into trouble with the corporate masters you've sold your souls to.

Read the fine print about that

SP said...

Dude, I'm pretty sure The Score operates out of a Ford Aerostar in Scarborough. The DJFs don't have any corporate anything to worry about.

Sellouts to money.

So the Score is behind these ads ?

Is Chad Kroeger JP's newest acquisition?

I hear he plays with a lot of grit. And that he is a dirtbagger.

In other words: jackpot.

Anonymous said...

that drunk jays logo looks much too sober. fuck.

Stoeten said...

only temporary

the score actually has a pretty sweet office, believe it or not

arj said...

maybe your logo should by gzaun & lyle overbays jumbotron pics from 2 years ago...

Oh and uhhh... fuck you sellouts!

Stoeten said...

i call total bullshit.

griffin wrote a gem today, which i will skewer as soon as i can get some time together...

Buck16 said...

Nothin' wrong with getting paid guys. Everyone that says there is is just fucking jealous, because I'm sure they wouldn't turn down what must be astronomical hits per day and soon to be millions of dollars.

Millions? Meh, whatever.

Bergkamp,

It's easy to act like a badass in the comments section. Put "McDonald's: Go fuck yourself" over their ad, then it might go on the record

Stoeten said...

Actually, I'm such a pussy that I even removed the conversation here, so, moot point.

Anonymous said...

Ok, as long as you know Stoeten

Bergkamp said...

Dude, did you really just censor the comments section there to appease McDonalds?

Anonymous said...

Don't worry Bergkamp,

Stoeten's just paranoid that his face might somehow get cut off from its big mac supply, if he causes offence

Anonymous said...

I vote for the picture of the beer drinkin guy on the facebook page

Stoeten said...

it's in the contract that we can't make fun of the sponsors-- which, i'm sure in no way has anything to do with why we haven't said much about the nickelback ad. the comments section probably doesn't matter so much, but i DO also work for the score, whose ad network it is, so, yeah, i'm being a bit anal. i'd have done the same whether it was mcdonalds or any other company-- nothing to do with how much i love the big mac.

oh, and this, of course, only counts for justin, parkes and i. anyone else can still say whatever.

Bergkamp said...

Dude, don't you see what's happening? We're becoming everything we swore we wouldn't when we made that DJF pact years ago! It's just like when Hemingway signed away the rights of his books so Hollywood could make crappy adaptations of them. Or when Vanilla Ice went nu metal.

I figured you were serious, so I didn't put up the post I wanted to. I've saved it though, and maybe if you could post it anonymously?

Anonymous said...

Stoeten, it must be difficult for you going through all their intimidating legalese. Look out for the part where it says they want you to start shoving the fries in your ass, and say that you're lovin' it

The Ack said...

this thread is old already, but let me pose the q anyway....what happens if The Star takes out an ad and it runs across your page? No more Griff bashing?
