Thoughts on new US FIRST splash page?

[Mr_I]

Well, on the one hand, I don't like the new splash page, because Team 811 is no longer highlighted (We were at kick-off, and were on photo #2, along with Dean and Will.i.am. You can still see it here, until this goes away again.)

Personal feelings aside, I found the apparent contradiction of the kick-off message unsettling: Woodie Flowers admonishes us that we need to beware "irrational passion", and then seeing everyone (adults as well as teens) fawning over a music star. And now to see that the irrational passion is carrying forward is also a little confusing. YES, I know we need to use the influence of Will.i.am to reach out to the millions of teens who don't know FIRST, but I wonder if this is this the right way to go about it.
