 Traveling down Creepy Road on the way to Shudderville Minimize

This past week has been an aberration where there are more pictures than text but something was sent to me today that I absolutely have to post.  One of my ex-coworkers, Bree, is a huge hockey fan (along with her husband, Chris, whom I also worked with) and she sent me two photos of the Atlanta Thrashers’ mascot Thrash.  Normally he’s dressed up in standard mascot attire – hockey jersey, hockey pants, hockey socks, etc (see the first picture).  Since last night’s game was near Valentine’s Day, Thrash decided to dress in Cupid attire.  The problem is, it didn’t translate well.  As Bree succinctly put it, “…I guess this was supposed to be the Thrash version of Cupid. Instead, he came off as creepy molester Thrash.”

It's not completely obvious but he also had weird little Victoria Secret wings strapped on as well. My gaydar was going off so hard it was difficult to pay attention to the Thrashers ekeing out a shootout win.

So Chris' Gaydar "was going off it was difficult to pay attention..."? Sounds like that marriage to Bree is nothing but a front. ;)

Two fantastic sports humor sites picked up her photos too. She submitted them to Barry Melrose Rocks (http://melroserocks.blogspot.com/2008/02/atlanta-uses-reverse-psychology-to-lure.html) and after it was posted there, Deadspin, the premiere sports satire site, picked it up too (http://deadspin.com/356486/beware-mascots-wearing-underwear).

He looks...um...very unattractive, as if he ran out of store-bought pre-made diapers. Weird-doh (!) costuming - just one more in a series of losses for the marketing department.
