I hope they made good money.

Is anyone else even just a bit concerned about that quarter-of-the-cage broadside advert for the pet-supplies sponsor? From my angle at stage-left it was impossible to get a good photo of the prediction conference as that banner-ad completely blotted out Mayor Carl's face -- I wonder now if maybe that's why in almost all the online press items about Willie they show a photo of Shubenacadie Sam, or worse, of Phil; our saving grace is in the name of a photo journalist angel by the name of Adrian Wyld who's sans banner shot of Willie and Carl has fortunately become the favourite among the Canadian Press subscribers

This fleeting moment is only a few seconds of world attention, and it's our few seconds. Why, how, and who's idea is it that a full quarter share of this magic moment should belong to a commercial interest?
