There’s crazy and then there’s crazy, There’s stupid and then there’s stupid. And then after all that there is PETA and whatever their next P.R. stunt is (via email to UGA’s AD)…

In the wake of the untimely death of the University of Georgia’s (UGA) bulldog mascot, Uga VII, PETA has asked the school’s athletic director, Damon M. Evans, to replace the mascot with an animatronic dog–or to rely solely on a costumed mascot–instead of using another real bulldog. Bulldogs are prone to breathing difficulties, hip dysplasia, heart disorders, and other congenital ailments, and acquiring a dog from a breeder perpetuates the animal overpopulation crisis while causing another dog waiting in an animal shelter to be condemned to death.

PETA needs to stick to sending around a naked Pam Anderson to promote Snail civil rights. For those of you keeping score at home, this is phase 2 of Skynet’s takeover of mankind. I’d give you a hint about stage 3, but the blueprint is hidden conveniently on Saban’s bald spot, nestled securely under his headset…
