Actually, that's fairly damn brilliant when you think about it. Call attention to the racism inherent in using Indian stereotypes as mascots and team names through an analagous use of a different race in the same fashion. I especially like them because they sold merchandise and used the money to fund Native American (ok, I hate that term, American Indian) scholarships. That is an example of people doing what they can to raise awareness of overt racism in our culture and I applaud them for it.

When I was in New Zealand some time ago, there was serious discussion to name their national Badminton team the "New Zealand Black Cocks" (the NZ national color is black, and the cock comes from shuttlecock)

There was a bit of an uproar so it probably got dropped.

They don't have lakes in LA either.

Maybe if it would rain after all those sinkholes open up?

How old do you have to be to be amused by Butte? Is the cut-off 8 years old or have they changed it to 9?

What do you get when the student body of a notorious stoner school gets to choose the mascot?

That is why banana slugs is a classic
