(Some Guy) Silly PC school board says cougar mascot offensive to women. Lisa Simpson conscientiously quibbles that technically it's a puma, which is more akin to the jaguar than to the mountain lion. Go, Puma Power   (lasvegas.cbslocal.com) divider line 295

The school board, which consists of six men and one woman, thought the Charger would be more appropriate

The f*ck is a charger? Phone charger? Battery charger?

I went to high school in Malibu, and our mascot was the Shark. Did you hear all the rich lawyers complaining about being offended? No.

If you're missing your puma, check the nearest crevice.

If you're looking for your leopard, check the park.

Maybe they should just run with it. Use something like this for their team mascot.

Really? Now its offensive to San Diego.

You can't have a winning sports program named after the Chargers

Carmenita Cougars ... my junior high alma mater.

Miss Underwood sitting on her swivel seat high-stool at the head of the classroom wearing her dark miniskirts and brightly colored panties.
Queen Cougar *sigh*
She was the focus of many a masturbatory session with this once 13-yr old young man I can tell you.

I saw some awful things in Nam, but you really have to wonder at the mentality that would desecrate a helpless puma!

This is a Puma:

Any questions?

Nobody should be using Bears as a mascot either...because it may be offensive to fat, hairy, gay men.

So no references to anything that might be used to describe a human in a colloquial manner? WHAT A GOOD IDEA
 
2012-01-20 02:21:47 PM
My high school in the bay area has a Cougar for a mascot, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

FTA: One Utah school district believes a cougar mascot would be insensitive to women.

Wha? I think cougars were called cougars way before the term was used for old, horny women. Now if the mascot was an actual old, horny woman instead of the four legged mammal, then I can understand their complaint.
 
2012-01-20 02:25:23 PM
Didn't I tell you to stop making up animals?

I always chuckle at schools that are the Trojans. Not only did the Trojans lose, they lost because the we're fooled by a wooden horse full of Greeks. How sorry is that?

A charger is a horse used by cavalry soldiers. I can't believe this stupid, feminist principal. She should be removed for imposing her asinine viewpoints on everyone else.

PullItOut: /What is sam hell is a puma?

It's a cougar - a mispronunciation of the Spanis name for the cat: Quechua

Just wait until they see the mascot for Santorum High School.

1) This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

2) It's probably really because she's a Ute fan.

3) Fun Fact: Was I the last person to learn (maybe 6 months ago) that a "Black Panther" was not actually a real thing? As in, not like it's own species or anything. IIRC, what we (I) think of as a "Black Panther" is just a monochromatic leopard or something.

imagine if their rival team was the farkers..."last night the farkers really went to town on the Cougars, in an epic scuffle one of the cougars got a dislocated shoulder"

Yankees, Indians, Reds, Sharks, Diamondbacks (insensitive to those bitten by one) Cougars, Redskins, the New Zealand All Blacks, Bears, Packers, Braves, Red Devils, Blue Devils, Demon Deacons, Lords-all offensive and must be removed from being seen anywhere near my precious snowflakes' eyes and ears.

The douche is strong in Utah.

Imagine the thrilling last second come from behind victories, when the farkers were down on the Cougars, but still manage to pull ahead by the end.

I find the name of this website offensive, Fark sounds a lot like f**k. Please change it A.S.A.P.
Perhaps Fork, Flirt or Flat might work.
Thank you.

It's car Michael Westen drives, and Brock Sampson used to drive one as well. Say what you will about the new ones, but the vinatage ones had style and nuts, and are worthy of being a school mascot from their association with fictional spy types alone.

Melanistic leopard or jaguar.

/monochromatic would be grayscale

And here I was so looking forward to being a cougar.

I'm old enough,but I don't have the money yet.
 
2012-01-20 02:30:08 PM
And since "bear" means something in the homosexual community, should we change that team name too?

Why the hell is there a picture of Courtney Cox in the article? Is there no journalistic integrity left?

While this does seem kind of ridiculous, I guarantee that the students chose cougar because of its colloquial reference to horny middle aged women. They did not choose it because of the animal. If I were on the school board, I'd be tempted to strike it down as well.
