Default Oilerssuck.com advertising

No link to this, but I saw a Calgary Transit train with "Oilerssuck.com" on the side and almost fell over laughing. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know how much money they had to raise to do this?

Oilerssuck.com has been around for a while. That thread doesn't address his questions about the advertising though.

I bought an Oilers' Losers logo T-Shirt from them a few years back as a Christmas present for my son. He loved it ... still does. Gotta raise the young 'uns right you know.

Interesting, looks like the Oiler legal nazzis went after him. I wonder if it was the prick president who did that as well as go after the FAN for the song.

I noticed it yesterday on a c-train.

It is actually oilerssuck.ca, and it will take you to the Sun's local sports page.

Out of curiosity I tried flamessuck.ca and, you guessed it, off to the Edmonton Sun you will go.

Ah, that makes sense now. I was wondering what those ads were about. There was also ads for ilikealbertagirls.ca and masterofourdomain.net, which leads to a Sun Media page.

So glad I bought my Losers shirt and Hoody years ago.

These are collectors items now!

oh yeah just saw the train again and it was oilerssuck.ca not .com. Still I found it funny, but kind of cheap when it's a newspaper doing it for publicity. Either way, it is good advertising as it got me to notice it and visit the website.

The best part is that Flamessuck.com redirects to oilerssuck.com

so if anyone in Edmonton makes the same mistake, they're in for a funny suprise.
