Albert, We Need You

I chose the Jays game tonight over the Leafs game, but I flipped over every so often hoping for a Sens loss.  Once things got out of hand, I stopped flipping over.

Reading the AP summary of the game I caught a picture of an "Upset Fan" wearing a bag over his head.  Here's that picture.

Senators Maple Leafs Hockey

That picture piqued my interest, so I visited UpsetFan.com.  The guy behind the site and the movement is Dave Armstrong, the same guy behind the 1985 "Albert, We Need You" campaign.  I remember that one, because it was based on a very popular Canadian Tire ad at the time.

Here's that famous Albert ad that ran in the mid-80s.  Albert!  Albert!

Albert would look sweet in blue and white this October.
