“Monster” sighting at Alki
May 31, 2007 at 12:54 pm | In West Seattle parks | 10 CommentsCall it a monstrous way to try to save the Sound. The “Mud Monster,” mascot of a new Puget Sound cleanup campaign (photo below), starred at a media kickoff event at Alki this morning. The campaign’s site says the “Mud Monster” is “designed and produced by the folks who brought us the Mariner Moose.” Couldn’t we just have somebody in, oh, say, a plush six-gill-shark suit?

Up in Victoria BC they actually did have a t-rd mascot for a campaign to stop dumping raw sewage into the bay there. Any time you dress up a human in a thick lumpy brown suit people are naturally going to think the obvious turd thoughts.

Comment by Eric — 2:01 pm June 1, 2007 #
[...] Why why why did someone think this was a good idea? I mean seriously, its like a umm err how do I say this? It looks like a t*rd with a hat of grass and a nicorette patch on his side. Was there actually a meeting where someone said “Yes, we shall have this run around the streets of Seattle and chase small children!†[...]
