Is Blizzard on Team Conan?

Everyone seems to be weighing in on the new late night wars between Conan and Leno -- I'm firmly on Team Conan. Leno and his chin have had their time in the spotlight, they can take themselves elsewhere. And according to the launcher screen Blizzard might be siding with Conan, too.
Sit at the launcher for a few minutes and let a few features flash by. You'll eventually see the above advertisement for the new character feeds in the armory, with the character name of "Coco" clearly visible. There is some speculation that this timely reference is a nod to the "I'm with Coco" portrait by Mike Mitchell that's become the picture of Conan resistance.
So is Blizzard weighing in and saying Carson's legacy should sit in the hands of Conan? If for no better reason than my own tin-foil hat attitude, I'm going to say yes. Yes they are.

Lesson number 1 for journalists/bloggers: Never let your readers be in doubt of what is going on.
I don't have a freaking clue of who Conan and Leno are (i thought about Conan the Barbarian as well). If you're writing an article about something, readers should not have to do the basic research themselves if they don't know what is going on. Always give a short summary of the situation.

Yeah, how dare somebody reference a widespread thing just because you don't know about it. Tell us how blogs are supposed to be run, bro.

@Bear: You know, there's this small group of countries called 'The rest of the world' where people don't know about these two drama queens.

Is this "team" thing another meme? Are we going to see "team" attached to everything for the next few months?
Ozmodius Jan 17th 2010 3:23PM
C'mon! Are you on Team Brad or Team Jen! PICK A SIDE, WE'RE AT WAR!
Volkrin Jan 17th 2010 3:45PM
It's Teamgate! Oh dear, I crossed the memes, end of the universe time.

I pick Team Warlock.

Team Team is old hat, it's all about Team Group now.
Artificial Jan 17th 2010 4:19PM
It's a very old meme. It always makes me think of "Team Leyner" from Et Tu, Babe.
Sleutel Jan 17th 2010 4:35PM
It could be worse. It could be "in the tank."
Qot Jan 17th 2010 5:10PM
I'm on Team "Team meme".
