The latest Magic-themed Facebook group to make a splash is targeting Pro Tour champion Brian Kibler, albeit with tongue firmly planted in cheek. The group, entitled "Blame Kibler" gives everyone the opportunity to fault the gaming celebrity for all that goes wrong in the world. From their professed mission statement:
"Lose your job? Blame Kibler! Girl friend breaks up with you.. BLAME KIBLER! Bad day? Blame Kibler! Let everyone know it is always Kibler's fault!"
So the group is more pseudo-fan site than anything (Kibler himself is a fan) it's been gaining in popularity thanks to coverage by the crew from GGsLive.com at the recent Grand Prix-Oakland.
If you're looking for an excuse to fall back on anytime something goes wrong, try Blaming Kibler.
