Goodbye Mr.Kokanee Ranger... Sir.

I just heard the news, and to be honest, I am terribly distraught. They killed off the Kokanee Ranger. Yeah, Yeah, I know, I voted to kill him, but only because John told me to. Secretly I went back in, and voted again, because I did want to see him live. He was a fine man, and he will be remembered always! Farewell Mr.Kokanee Ranger! You did us proud.

Attached is the article of his untimely death.....

An era is over. The people of Western Canada have voted to Kill Off the Kokanee Ranger. It was a long and vigorous campaign that had hundreds of thousands of votes cast. Voting was extended to multiple locations, giving as many people as possible the chance to influence the outcome.

Throughout the summer, votes were being collected at dozens of Glacier Girls parties, through urinal vote counters in bars across Western Canada, and on Heavy.com, where Sasquatch’s Kill Off video had over 600,000 views.

A Kokanee spokesperson expressed mixed feelings about the vote results. "Of course we're sad to see the Ranger go, but the public has spoken, and we're excited about new possibilities and directions." And when asked about the future of Kokanee advertising, they had this to say, "We want to keep things fun and true to the spirit of the beer. One thing is for sure, Kokanee will continue to be all about the great mountain lifestyle of Western Canada."
