I saw this little note on Drudge. (link)
Some school board members at a district in Utah don't want a school to have the students' chosen mascot, a cougar, because... it is disrespectful to women.
Wait. What?!
Yup. The board members want to protect the feelings of older women who prey sexually on younger men.
Now. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But still. It's not like the students wanted to call their school the MILFs. And no one is suggesting the school members would not have the same reaction if the students had chosen the Dirty Old Men.
But Come On!
I am sure that there were probably some sniggling teenaged boys who were leading the call for the new mascot. But does anyone really think that the world would see that name and immediately expect a bunch of desperate housewives to come running out onto the field to play the homecoming game?
Of course not.
And, by the way... what did the board members prefer? The Chargers.
I ask you... Is that an appropriate mascot for a group of impressionable young minds growing up in an age when, before they have even worked a single day in their lives, they are already are on the hook for 15 trillion dollars?
