The whole mascot thing is out of hand. Newberry College (and others like it) had to change theirs from an Indian b/c they were offensive. I'm sorry...its been that for decades and NOW you have a problem with it? BTW--I'm part Cherokee and have no issues with this. It's supposed to be a symbol of strength like a warrior. I would be flattered. It sure the hell beats having a pee cup for a mascot. *end rant*
Oh, and what's the women's mascot...Specs the speculum? Mammy the mammogram?
I used to have to dress up as McGruff the Crime Dog. "Take a bite out of crime." I had to dress up for all kinds of events and the kids would keep hugging me. It was horrible. I was just a dog in a trench coat though. Not a urine sample.
Lu' - that would be AWESOME. Obviously you just get more brilliant with age. Doc- you too! I'm just pumped to be the first one to make the reference this time. aaaapie - In college I was in a production of The Vagina Monologues. We decorated an examination table and auctioned it off (fur trimmed stirrups, etc). Because we are twisted we bedazzled a speculum as well- we called it Sparkly the Spec.
Can you imagine being the person wearing the pee cup costume? "So what do you do for work?" "oh, I'm Petey the pee cup." I wonder how often they'd actually get laid.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwww...I hate to be the one to admit this BUT....Pee cups in OZ are clear with a yellow lid...
The blue ones with a white jar are for S-Men...LMAO...if you get my drift....
So that picture to me is pretty funny HA HA Ha..need to take a copy to work LMAO....

So you think that you have seen it all when it comes to bad mascots? I would say that you are wrong until you have met Petey the Pee Cup. Yes you read that correctly folks, Petey the Pee cup. It seems that HealthPartners inc was having trouble getting their message out to Gen X so they decided to create a mascot to help. A giant 7 foot tall specimen jar of urine. You must see this video to believe me. Petey even has his own website and is on facebook. Next thing you know he will be hanging out on blogger? Hey Jay, do you want Petey as a part of Bastard Nation??
[Image]Does anyone else think this is just a bad idea? Oh and if the pee cup wasn't enough pretty soon he is going to be joined by "Pokey the syringe" soon to become the mascot to heroin addicts everywhere.... Yeesh.

HA! that video is funny. After Pokey are they going to have Swabey? Pokey could also be a big rubber glove, a mascot for Proctologists.

I think their next mascot is going to be Hepatitis Heidi.
May 23, 2008 at 6:53 AM
I think a large big toe, little arms sticking out with the toenail all yellow, crusty and hooked would make a great...

Doc, Didn't you date a girl in college nicknamed Hepatitis Heidi?
No... as I have told you every time you ask me that it was my fraternity bro Trigger who dated her. LOL
May 23, 2008 at 7:36 AM
I think I met her once. She was kinda cute...you know aside from the disease.
May 23, 2008 at 7:45 AM
I don't know Doc, Petey certainly did get your attention, didn't he?? *wink*
May 23, 2008 at 7:50 AM
That is just wrong. I know actually beinging the urine jar has to be the low point of anyones life.
May 23, 2008 at 8:02 AM

Thanks for the Birthday wishes y'all. So far so good. Hubby gifted with jewlery :)
wng, how about if they took a replica of HM's leg and used it for a handle an a new line of metal detectors.
aaaaPie, I wonder if Spec's would have a cold and icy voice or a Barry White type voice.

Could you imagine dating the guy who dresses up as the piss cup?
Try brining him home to your parents. What a first impression!
May 23, 2008 at 9:26 AM
Poor guy. I'm betting he doesn't speed date.
Cute girl: So, what do you do for a living?
Petey: next
May 23, 2008 at 9:30 AM
Nice. The things that these people come up with never seems to amuse me anymore!
May 23, 2008 at 9:37 AM
Oh look big and little piss cups! Adorable.

I don't know why but for some reason the thought of Knight dressed up as McGruff the crime dog sends me into fits of laughter!
BWAAAHAHAAHAHAAAAAA !!
If you have any pics you must share them .... :p
May 23, 2008 at 10:22 AM
And here we all thought that a job that included a paper hat and having to use the phrase "do you want fries with that?" was the bottom of the barrel.
Happy birthday LU!!!
May 23, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Happy Birthday Lu!
I'm thinking of investing in the growth industry of "exciting medical props" that will "humanize the medical experience"
I'm hoping 'Vinny the Vaginal Speculum' will be a big hit!
May 23, 2008 at 10:24 AM
How about Ernie the Enema Bag?
May 23, 2008 at 10:25 AM

HealthPartners is the insurance my company uses. I REALLY, REALLY hope they don't send this mascot to open enrollment this year. I'll quit first!!
