That thing looks so "faaabulous" it should be in Key West.

That could easily be in the waiting room of a nursing home.

They need to sub that in behind John Cena at Wrestlemania instead of his usual thing...

/Can we has early Raw thread?

jaylectricity: But beware: It might not be safe for children, the elderly or people with epilepsy to watch:

I don't get what is so cringe-worthy about this thing. It's some dolphins swimming around some lights. Big whoop.

I was waiting for the part that might induce an epileptic seizure, slow moving things are not going to do that.

The article was as stupid as the display.

That is fantastic. It's just like the clock tower in Munich (new window). See, Europeans? We have culture over here too.

my favorite part is the santorum water that sprays up every time a dolphin penetrates dives back into the guts of this thing.

FTFC:

"I have been to two pride parades and that's the gayest thing I have ever seen."

thomps: does this thing pop up from behind the wall after homeruns or does it just sit there motionless in the outfield during the bulk of the game?

A ticker tape parade launches from the entry tunnel and proceeds around the outside of the field. The first float has midget wrestlers in a regulation size boxing ring, the second has Bette Middler singing Erasure covers, the third is the Undertaker and he simply slow walks between 2 floats, and the fourth is that object which, despite how it looks on the video, is actually 17 stories tall.

Every. Home. Run.

Thanks for ignoring my earlier submissions mods. Go fk yourself

Bernie Brewer sliding into a stein of beer was better.

This thing will be dismantled in a few years and discussed with as much derision as possible.

Every hitter is going to swing for the fences in hopes of getting more Plinko chips.

thomps: sforce: Thanks for ignoring my earlier submissions mods. Go fk yourself

the admins actually had yours tagged for the main page, but in a rare moment of unity, the TF community downvoted it so heavily that they had to redlight it. then we started a TFD thread discussing how much everyone hates your submissions.

I KNEW IT!

thoughtpol: //can't wait to hear what the players have to say about this

Hell, I'm waiting for the inevitable "Ozzie Guillen apologizes for using homosexual slur in regards to home run display" headline.

Hawk Harrelson could say "You caaaan put it in my buuuuutttttttt, YES!!!! MERCY!!!"

Are you sure this is Marlins Park? I think this might just be a new addition to the "It's a Small World" ride at Disney World...

Every baseball player should try to hit balls to that thing during batting practice just to break that hideous pile of shiat.

Still not as gay as Twilight.

The latter. Smack dab in left-center, right in the middle of the otherwise nice view of Miami:

It is, as said above, quintessentially Miami tacky.

DoBeDoBeDo: The article was as stupid as the display.

agreed. yahoo has totally gone to shiat.

Oh gawd, I can't wait for Opening Day.

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Bernie Brewer FTW

I'll be in Miami for WrestleMania 28 and thought about going to their new park for a tour, until I seen the prices they had for their exhibition game vs the Yankees. $40 for upper level? No can haz my moneh.

That's gayer than 6 guys farking 5 guys.

Hey Miami, gay called.
It's for you.

I am torn on this....

On one hand, its stupid. Beyond stupid. Like I wonder what they were thinking when the proposed this. I mean, someone had to come up with the idea for this, pitch it to a supervisor...get it approved...there were probably several revisions....thus, this is the pinnacle of that design.

On the other hand...it's like Miami knows their team is a joke...and they decided to just not care. might as well make it as close to over the top as as possible.

It was between this and just showing a couple of guys blowing each other on the big screen. They went with the gayer option.

I believe that is a leftover fixture from Tony Montana's wedding. Pure class.
