“Hockey Scores”: Another reason why Something Awful always ruin things on the Internet.

Disclaimer: I don’t care about hockey, but this story amused me.

The same fools who tried to get a journeyman voted into the NHL All-Star game have done it again. You see, the CBC’s “Hockey Night in Canada” needs a new theme since they lost the rights to CTV. For Americans, this would be the equivalent of losing the “Monday Night Football” theme. As we are now living in the age of user-generated content, CBC allowed regular joes to compose a new theme for this staple of Canadian entertainment. Needless to say, once you get Something Awful goons into the mix, things get a lot more interesting.

According to SA forums member “Lowgain” a.k.a. Logan Aube, it is “A beautiful theme encompassing the heart of hockey.”

A musical mess of cats, sheep, crying babies and gunshots. Screw that old NHL ESPN theme, THIS is the heart of hockey! Of course, much of the mainstream and hockey blogs caught wind of this joke of a submission. CBC, The Globe and Mail and Yahoo! Sports have all covered this story. I wonder if Deadspin will get on the ball. It’s pretty doubtful this will be the new theme since the CBC has the final say. As they are declining in favor to lolcats and 4chan for INTERNET comedy relevance, Something Awful goons somehow have been able to redeem themselves of unfunny…even if it’s for a few more minutes.
