The Official Procurement Desk is Open for Business
Le Council does not run advertisements. Le Council does not sell your data. Le Council does not accept sponsorships from energy drink companies, cryptocurrency platforms, or entities whose relationship with The Almighty Ice is "complicated."
Le Council does, however, need to keep the lights on.
The investigation and broadcast of Hockay across twenty arenas, six continents, and one research station is not inexpensive. H.O.R.N. requires infrastructure. O.D.D.S. requires actuaries. The Jambono requires... well, Le Council is not entirely sure what The Jambono requires, but it seems to involve significant operational overhead.
Rather than resort to morally dubious revenue techniques—and while Le Council has been briefed on what those techniques are, Le Council found them distasteful—we have chosen the ancient and honorable path of selling you things.
These things are good. They are officially endorsed. They are made with care. A portion of every purchase goes directly toward the continued operation of Hockay and the ongoing study of Unexplained Ice Phenomena. The rest goes toward keeping Le Council's filing cabinets organized. The filing cabinets are enormous.
Buy something. Wear it. Put a sticker on your laptop. Hang a poster on your wall. Le Council appreciates your material support. The Almighty Ice appreciates your commitment. The penguins have no opinion, but they are watching.
