The culprit of the Obay ads has been revealed, Billy “Fish” O’neill’s interview about his ordeal
After many days of wondering who is the culprit behind the Obay ads and many views posted by various people (including mine), it seems we finally got a conclusion: The people at Colleges Ontario is indeed the culprit of those ads. The Torontoist blog vaguely confirms that and states that Colleges Ontario will be attending a media launch event next week to showcase about “the news about Obay and it’s side effects of Ontario’s Post-Secondary Education.”
Hey, I wonder how the side effects will effect many post-secondary students whether from College or University. Just like the song by Simple Plan:
Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what’s going on?
Tell me what’s going on?
If you open your eyes
You’ll see that something is wrong
Edit (1:16p.m.): Be-mag.com has posted an online interview of Billy “Fish” O’Neill and his horrific ordeal about his incident. He also posted an advice to many aggressive skaters who are doing a stunt like that. He is currently in crutches and still limping, but he’s doing okay. I wish Fish’s best on his road to recovery. As always, always wear proper safety equipment when doing a certain stunt. You would not end up being like him….
Changing gears, tomorrow night I’m going to see Angels & Airwaves at the Kool Haus (The Guvernment) in Toronto with my sister. It’s going to be fun. To finish off this blog, I’m leaving you two music videos: “Crazy” by Simple Plan and “Everything’s Magic” by Angels & Airwaves.
