Utah School Board says cougar mascot too offensive to women. Damn,
no wonder Mercury discontinued the car named after large cat. This Skool Bored must be Dodge fans ’cause they want the mascot to be “Charger” (hey, ain’t that insulting to overspending politicians?) How long before they won’t let us hang clothes in our closets because empty suits are too offensive to Obama?

Ha! Just saw this over on Yahoo and was gonna send it in or make some mention of it.
Personally, I think “Badgers” is an offensive name because it is demeaning to badgers.
And let’s not overlook the dog-whistle, coded, subtle racism of “Ravens” either.

just cuz she attracts younger men doesn’t mean she wants a younger fella. It’s just that I’ve know some women who have called other women “cougars” just because they get attention from younger men even if the recipient of the attention wasn’t really trying to get it.

There are a lot of freaks out there for sure, but I am sure that the money and prestige of being Heffner’s girlfriend trumps any desire to be with an old man that is poor and has nothing to offer her other than a languid member that needs a blue pill to make it work.

Women in all reality should marry a man that is five to 8 years younger. Why? Women (on average) can live 10 years or so longer than men, if a woman (again on average as of course life happens and anything can happen) doesn’t want to be a long living widow she is well off marrying a younger man in order to be average and not have to outlive the husband for many years.

Can’t use ‘Beavers’. Can’t use any Indian moniker. San Francisco would like the ‘Packers’ to move to their town. Can’t call Black folks a Negro, but it’s somehow ok to call White folks a Caucasian. People need to quit being so thin skinned and the P.C. folks need to have their asses kicked.

for real… the last thing in my mind would have been to think of a middle aged woman who aggressively pursues younger men *rolls eyes* and even if I did, I wouldn’t necessarily think that would be offensive to a woman that ACTUALLY is middle aged and aggressively pursues younger men. If that is what she wants to do, why would she be offended in the first place? Makes no sense.

Criminals
Yuma High School in Yuma, Arizona has a large man in a black and white jail outfit as its school mascot. They call themselves the Criminals.

Unicorns
Unicorns, the mythical horses with a single horn on their heads, are the mascot for students who attend New Braunfels High. The school is located in New Braunfels, Texas.
NOW NOW just back off and wait a minit folks… Ok 1 New Braunfels… GERMAN and Mexican And regular anglo influence. you’ve never tasted such sausage. and just down the highway is Blue Bell the Country’s Best Ice Cream.
I’ve worked and eaten in the New Braunfels area. I can only hope the reasoning behind it is cuz ‘corns are noble, pure, and virginal, even as they seek virginal chaste romance.

From the official website of Yuma High School,…
“City officials notified the school in 1912 that they needed the Prison as a city jail. The school board proposed and successfully carried through a bond election to build a new school. Thus, in 1913, school began in the newly constructed Main. That same year, the Yuma football team traveled to Phoenix to play the “Coyotes”. Yuma High won. The angry “Coyotes” dubbed the Yuma High players the “Criminals”. At first “Criminals” was a fighting word. Before long, students and teachers wore the name with pride, and in 1917, the school board officially adopted the nickname. Yuma High School has been proudly called the home of the “Criminals” ever since.”
I had to go check into that, since I’m taking my Unicorn to a 3 day Renaissance Faire there in two weeks, and I was kinda nervous about that name.

I saw this a long while back. I couldn’t believe it. The sad part that it goes unnoticed for so long because the majority of the parents dont even bother to ask their kids “what did you learn today?” At the very least that one question and an honest answer from the child should raise red flags. Where is the ACLU? Isn’t this a government entity(state funded textbooks and such) supporting, promoting or choosing a religious practice over others? Where are the cries of separation of “church” and state? Maybe because Islam doesn’t have “churches”.
