OT- Flames Showcasing Women on the Jumbotron (Split from Oilers Security Thread) - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

CGY only removes fans that expose their bras. And then, they make said fan part of the Flames celebration video. Mixed messages.

Yes, yes it is. The production crew at the Saddledome is starved for loving. I'm not kidding.

All too often, along with the Smootch Cam singling out two males who show up to the 'Dome wearing the opposing teams' jersey.

Well, the first thing is they weren't on the smooch cam. They were pointing out the good looking women in the crowd; which is why "Pretty Women" was the song playing in the background.

Secondly, if you think those two girls looked 14; somebody must be wrong. Because at least one of them was holding a beer.

I actually find the whole "hot chick" the flames do at their games is stupid and lame, frankly it makes me uncomfortable, I'm sure there is another contest they could run.

They'll probably say the guy is being greedy and slept with the goalie's wife.

What contest are you talking about? I seem to have missed this contest even though I've been to about 10 games in the last month&1/2

Oh yes. Security rudely removed a girl and her boyfriend for lifting their shirts. Now that same incident is part of the Flames pre-game video. How can the Flames be so offended on one hand, yet routinely feature Flames Girls Gone Wild in the arena video entertainment?

There's no contest. My point is, instead of having a "pretty woman cam" or a "two girls make out cam" they could just run another contest with steve strachan (sp?).

I find it ridiculous when they put these girls on the energy board, I find it kind of bush league.

Also, who wears a tank top to a hockey game in the middle of feb????

4X4 · 03-01-2007, 02:53 PM

Huh... Well I guess I can see where you're coming from. That montage they play at the beginning of the game includes a couple of girls kissing. It certainly doesn't bother me, but I noticed that they added a star over the actual kiss. I guess it offended someone.

corporatejay · 03-01-2007, 02:58 PM

I don't find it "offensive", I don't get offended easily at all. I find it childish, cheesy, lame and unprofessional, I rather see Dion blowing a guy up (get your head out of the gutter) or Iginla ripping a shot top shelf, then two girls kissing, that's what the internet is for (and showcase on friday nights).

Actually, I'm with you on that.

Not that simple. 14 is only the age of consent if the guy is within x years in age. a 40 year old will still get slapped with a statutory rape charge.

Nope not true. If said 40 year old is "in a position of trust of authority, or responsible in a relationship of dependence" with the 14 year old then yes, they would get charged. Otherwise they wouldnt. Contrary to popular oppinion statutory rape is not a Canadian law, thanks to our over americanized society most Canadians think it is, but it isnt. The only other ways to get charged would be to have anal intercourse with the 14 year old, or pay the 14 year old to have sex.

photon · 03-01-2007, 03:16 PM

Alright age of consent isn't the topic of the thread, start a new thread if necessary.

Thunderball · 03-01-2007, 03:19 PM

I find a lot of the Saddledome antics very bush league... I just don't find a couple morons building a burger to be quality intermission entertainment. Now, when they had that acrobat... that was something. Even the little kids playing or running the drill, that's okay too... but a lot of their stuff is just lame.

I also don't really like the whole smooch cam/trolling for booty thing going on... I know people who intentionally bolt from their seats during the smooch cam cause they don't want any part of it.

Given the huge crowd reaction it's pretty clear that a bra flash beats a Strachan clip by a factor of 200x. The idea is to get the crowd energized.

If this is bush league, don't fight, big hit, and blooper clips fall into this category too? They could be considered cheesy too?

I would say that games are considered to be family entertainment and I'n not sure I'd want to explain this that to my kids - but quite frankly, I think most playgrounds educate kids on the high esteem placed on boobies by Grade 3 nowadays.
