‘Fin’ is a pussy.
The C’s have finally invested a little pocket change in the creation of a mascot, and the final product is not bad at all.
‘Bob Brown Bear’ is cartoonish enough for the kids to dig, he’s Canadian to the core (without being hokey), and he’s not so big that the guy inside the suit is going to wind up with heat stroke around about the third inning.
The mascot was introduced today at the Vancouver Board of Trade luncheon celebrating the C’s, and rumours that he was later seen trying to climb the wall at the Greater Vancouver Zoo with a grappling hook and a ‘free the grizzlies’ T-shirt are as yet unconfirmed.
Now just watch stuffed versions of Triple-B outsell Qwatchi among the Korean tourist crowd by a factor of two to one. Book it!
Oh, quick side note: Perhaps someone from the C’s might want to have a word to Canadians staffer Jason Takefman and ask him to stay away from the big guy’s junk.
I’m not saying anything illegal was going on when the picture to the left was taken, just that it gave me…
Ahem…
Paws for thought.
