what has this world come to when brutal murder is used for entertainment! -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:10
seriously, that's a problem? - Andie Nov 16, 13:08 12
- Imagine another team calling themselves the "Langley Pig Farmers" and they had a mascot named "Pickton"? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 16, 13:10 9
  - lousy team mascot name :) -- nm - Arnold Ziffle Nov 16, 13:12
  - if that team existed 100 years from now, on another continent, i'd be shocked if anyone cared. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 13:11 7
    - It's just tasteless. (What shocks me is that usually I'm the guy arguing against over-PCing things.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 16, 13:13 6
      - The Dahmers would be tasteless, this isn't that at all. -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 13:14 3
        
        hmmm, I do think it's tasteless. What if it was a Boston team called the Stranglers? ew. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:17 2
        
        but Boston, England. and 80 years from now. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:18 1

        Sorry, I'm not judging you on it. (The tone of my last post is off from my actual...) I'm just saying, I can totally understand those saying its off. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 16, 13:18
