You see in the corner there where it says "Peel Off"? Click on the sponsor sticker and it'll reveal the actual sticker for the event. (And no, you don't get an extra Mercedes-Benz sticker for your collection, but it'd be sweet if we did!)

Country Strong Soundtrack Sticker

Country Strong Soundtrack
You've found the soundtrack that's attracting awards attention. Want to sing along with Gywneth Paltrow? Check out the full album: bit.ly/countrystrongstk Share this one proudly. It's from our friends at Sony Nashville.
Req: Check-in to the Gwyneth Paltrow recording artist page.







There's a double "HUH?" going on here. First is the timing of the release of this sticker. The original studio soundtrack was released in October and the movie soundtrack was released in January. Why wait until now to release the sticker? Were negotiations for it that rough? Second is the requirement that you have to check-in to Gwyneth Paltrow's recording artist page. Why not tie it to every recording artist on the soundtrack?  Either way, it's very weird.

Post-Holiday Box Office stickers - Unknown, I Am Number Four, Big Mommas

Does President's Day really count as a holiday for anyone other than government workers, kids in school, and mattress stores (they're always running some kind of President's Day sale...)?

On GetGlue and Moving the Goalposts

So I'm looking over the stickers for tonight and I see that they added an additional one for Episodes. Technically they added it in the last update, or maybe the one before, but that's not the point. The point is what the sticker appears to be awarded for. From the sticker's text:

"Isn't Episodes much better than Pucks? Thanks for watching every episode this season! Share this one proudly. It's from our friends at Showtime."

So basically what we have here is another sticker that's only going to be awarded to the people that checked-in to every episode of the show all season long. The problem with this is that they didn't tell us they would be awarding this sticker until well past halfway into the season. At this point there's probably more than a few people out there that missed a check-in. Either they forgot, or they got their Pucks sticker and quit checking-in because they figured there wouldn't be anymore until the finale, or when they sit down to watch a TV show their first inclination is NOT "OMG, I need to check-in to GetGlue" (I tend to fall under the latter category. But I digress.)

The point I'm trying to make here is that springing a sticker on the community in the eleventh hour that would have required the users to check-in for several weeks in a row falls under the category of "NOT COOL, MAN." This is a classic example of what one would call "moving the goalposts" - bad faith on the part of those setting goals for others to meet, by arbitrarily making additional demands just as the initial ones are about to be met.

I honestly can't recall if I've checked-in to every airing of Episodes this season. I think I did, but I'm not sure. But whether I did or not, the fact of the matter remains the same: GetGlue, if you're going to do stuff like requiring a full season's worth of check-ins for a show to get a specific award then you should let the fans know from the beginning. Otherwise you're going to end up with more than a few people with hurt feelings just because they missed one or two check-ins. If you need a reminder of how ticked off people can get by you changing the rules in mid-stream, look no further than the Boardwalk Empire season 1 series of stickers and the hubbub that surrounded them at the end of the season.
