Kansas State Introduces New “Eco-Friendly” Mascot. . . Shocked To Find It Being Mocked Mercilessly…

Hilarious that some liberal bedwetter actually thought this was a good idea.

(Kansas City Star) — Kansas State University’s new eco-friendly mascot — with her teased orange hair, purple accessories, and all together unfortunate styling — is blowing up on Twitter.

A search for “EcoKat” yields a handful of recently created Twitter handles (including the hilarious #FakeEcoKat) and no shortage of bad jokes. According to Trendsmap.com, it’s a top Twitter trend in Kansas City.

While a press release from K-State from earlier this month describes EcoKat as “Kansas State University’s crusader of conservation and fanatic of fluorescent lightbulbs,” it’s garnering a mixed reception at best.

For every tweet in defense of EcoKat are dozens more mocking the mousy mascot. A sampling: “#EcoKat makes me want to leave my porch light on 24hours and drive two blocks to the gas station for a pack of gum”; “In honor of #EcoKat, I will separate my plastics, glass and aluminum from one another. . . then put them in the trash anyways”; and “Pretty sure I have my halloween costume figured out this year. Thanks, #ecokat.”

    EcoKat? A mascot for a football team? What do the players do? Run around waving pictures of a naked Al Gore to blind their opposition? Thus, providing a better chance at scoring a goal.

    EcoKat as “Kansas State University’s crusader of conservation and fanatic of fluorescent lightbulbs
    ##################

    a fanatic of fluorescent light bulbs…? Really?

    you mean those eco-catastrophes… that contain mercury…

    and if broken … require a full scale evacuation of your home

    and a Level 1 Haz-Mat response to clean up….

    yeah….great idea…NOT…

    Eco Kat and Captain Planet versus their arch enemies Carbon Die and Major Methane. Probably a great read for 6 year olds– a comic book.

    I thought it was Kansas State University, not KS Kindergarten.

    Pathetic.

    From the K State Kiddy Corner:

    “Catch EcoKat at community events like Purple Power Play, visiting the local elementary schools and making other community appearances.
    EcoKat, who is played by a K-State senior who auditioned for the role, is outfitted in a costume made of 90 percent repurposed materials, coming mostly from the athletics department. The department of apparel, textiles and interior design used eco-friendly dyes to get the final look, making it entirely sustainable and recyclable within K-State.”

    You wouldn’t catch my daughter wearing recycled jock straps and calling it a costume.

    I’m curious: what was the previous mascot? That thing behind her is either some sort of panther, or a hydrocephalic otter, I’m not sure which.

    Don’t underestimate the mental illness of the Eco-Facists, they are brainwashing your kids at these higher levels of investigation and teaching them that they are better, smarter, and way ahead of the game than their “stupid parents or grandparents”. It’s just like the Hitler Youth, they are pounding their Eco-Terrorist War Drums in the ears of the mush-brained youth and indoctrinating them to hate all people who disagree with this insane crap. The naive kids have no idea how expensive what they are promoting is AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, these kids don’t realize they are useful idiots helping to line the power brokers behind this garbage (people like Al Gore).

    It would be funny as hell if during their first televised game this season that as soon as they trot out this bad joke, the audience responds by throwing all their concession trash at he/she/it.

    Man, that would go viral on you-tube in no time flat.
