yeah, that will happen

As if we haven't had enough bad news this year...

I guess if PETA wants to be in the news and they certainly appear to, picking one of the most popular mascots would be the way to do it.

RIP UGA VII

We were only up to UGA IV when I attended UGA. Man, those are ugly dogs. I expect they're so inbred now that they can't even walk or breathe. Yah, purebreds!

PETA bullshiat aside, that would be kind of farking cool.

This is our mascot, it can kill you.

What a bunch of bullshiat!!!

One beautiful October day, at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn vs. Georgia. The introductory hoopla is taking place when UGA walks out on the field and sits on the fifty-yard line and proceeds to lick himself where dogs are prone to lick themselves. Right there on National TV. Two good ole boys up in the stands are watching this and one turns to the other and says, "I wish I could do that" and his buddy replies, "That dog would bite you!"

RIP Lewis Grizzard. I know it was not his original joke, but he told it so well.

Does PETA think there is an animatronic dog ready to sub in for UGA? Who's going to build that for them? GaTech?

An animatronic Uga would be dumb, but I don't think it would be at all inappropriate to move to using rescue dawgs. The amount of money people pay for an inbred pup from the Uga line is completely ridiculous.

Good luck with that PeTA...Say we have you on the line, why not send over a couple of nekkid chicks to whine about it while we watch the Georgia/Georgia Tech game?

tl;dr

My hat is off to PETA. They are the best trolling attention whores currently in operation, and it's not even close. Every single time they do or say anything, there's a news story. They just keep upping the ante and people continue taking the bait. Without fail, every zany antic gets press coverage. You can't help but be impressed.

I don't know, maybe if some B-list celebrities showed me their tits, I might be more interested.

As long as UGA XIII is a red lion wolf thing, I'll be happy.

But then who would supply the Chinese restaurants in Auburn, AL?

PETA can bite my shiny metal ass.

This guy better watch out: John Conner (new window)

Breeding dogs and cats is irresponsible and cruel? Really PETA?

"WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 - An official report from People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), submitted nine months after a Virginia government agency's deadline, shows that the animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs, cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 pets. The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) is calling on PETA to either end its hypocritical angel-of-death program, or stop its senseless condemnation of Americans who believe it's perfectly ethical to use animals for food, clothing, and critical medical research."fark you PETA...

Does anyone know of any team or school anywhere that has a robot/android/etc.for a mascot? Still would be better than a Banana Slug...

Let us all get together and give thanks that PETA allows us to unite in one sports-related thing per year. Young and old, Yankee and Reb (and Canadian), we can all agree that PETA is full of midly dumb kids who hate their parents but can't be communists anymore.

I want PETA to STFU but that ain't going to happen either...

Damn Good AIBO ERS-7M2.

PETA was taken over several years ago by some brilliant and diabolical right wingers with the goal of destroying the animal rights movement. They've succeeded.

After licking their wounds for a while, the deposed PETAnistas struck back by infiltrating the Republican Party. You've heard of Teabaggers? How about Sarah Palin? All former PETA leaders.

"Do what now?"

Sarah Palin the avid hunter was a PETA leader?
/unlikely

That's cheating! You know GT students aren't used to seeing nekkid chicks!

It's all part of the plan. Angela Lansbury in Manchurian Candidate couldn't exactly walk around whistling Chopin with a copy of What is to be Done? in her hand.

PETA article on Fark?? I'm having steak for dinner!!

//Your dog can have one too!!

We're through the looking glass here people.

Yes, let us stop the cruel practice of an entire community treating a dog like a living God. Surely there is some better living situation for these poor dogs.

Forget the animatronic one, I will summon the courage of Brady Quinn and take their place myself. No, do not weep for me, we must all be strong for the sake of our PETA overlords.

/Bring unto your living God an offering of the UGA dance team!

Yay! PETA in the news. Per our agreement, that means veal tonight.

bullshiat:

It'll never match the giant mechanical gator UF had back in the 80's, donated from the set of the movie "Alligator".

rytheran: This guy better watch out: John Conner

Clearly you haven't seen John Conner play. He is as good a blocking fullback as I've seen at the collegiate level in a long, long time. Reminds me of Lorenzo Neal.

The robot wouldn't have a chance- Conner would light him up.

Does anybody really give a fark what PETA says except late-night talk show hosts and bloggers that use it to make fun of them?

Obvious troll is obvious.

Kornchex: Obvious troll is obvious.

Oh spare me the troll red herring. Its very nature of being obvious makes it equally obvious that I was not trying to troll someone.

/obviously

Only if all the teams in the SEC get robotic mascots, and then they all join together and make a SEC-megazoid that claims dominance over all the other conferences.

Woof, woof.

Hello.

My name is Rags.

Woof, woof.

/obscure?

PETA needs to STFU, seriously. They make all of the rational people who believe in ethical treatment of animals look like idiots.

Most of the animals in this country who are in shelters right now hoping to be adopted would LOVE to be treated like UGA. I could see encouraging UGA's vet program to donate time to a bulldog rescue, or taking some sort of initiative to help encourage pet adoption, but trying to convince the University of Georgia to use an animatronic likeness of their iconic mascot is a bit idiotic.

Costumed students are all well and good, but somehow it's not *quite* the same. (Example: Smokey IX vs. Smokey in a pimp outfit)

/A Tennessee fan defending Georgia, what's wrong with this picture?
//Waiting for them to try the same whine when Smokey IX passes on

That would be kinda Tech-y. Which means there's about as much chance of it happening as Mark Mangino's family leaving the Thanksgiving dinner table full.

A robot dog in Georgia? Didn't they just discover moving pictures and horseless carriages 5 years ago?

UGA needs to call a press conference and invite PETA, and then announce that their college tradition won't be turned into some sort of Rock Afire Explosion show, and that PETA can go fark themselves.

Should be this instead:

0/10...try harder

what I want to know is - what the hell do they feed uga? Seems every couple of years that have to replace him because the old one died of a heart attack.
