Came across a [really striking panoramic photo](http://www.gigapixel.com/image/gigapan-canucks-g7.html) of the mass of Canucks fans watching game 7 on the big screen downtown.

This image is initially interesting just based on the sheer size of the crowd - but what makes it particularly remarkable is that when you explore it, any area you choose to zoom in on is _saturated_ with discouraged faces, many of are configured into such exaggerated displays of discouragement that it’s hard not to find them comical.

No thanx. I don’t have to relive that moment. What are you, a masochist ?

It had to happen: I saw a T-shirt over the weekend that read, “I Survived the Vancouver Riot.”

Yup, that’s a whole lotta sad right there. Take out the blue and substitute red, and I’m pretty sure that’s what Calgary looked like a few years ago.
