For those of you that haven't heard or seen this, it sounds viscious doesn't it? Well it wasn't. It was a playful little joke, a half-effort powder-puff joke of a swing. And in my opinion, it was frickin hilarious to watch a 6-foot-tall foam hotdog fall down while running a race againt a bratwurst. The mascots ran right in front of the Pittsburgh dug-out, and when they did, a Pirate gave the hotdog a love tap, knocking it down and into the bratwurst next to it.
The Pittsburgh player was handcuffed and actually taken for questioning, and might even face criminal charges! The girl in the costume wasn't injured, she had a scraped knee... an unfortunate, yet insignificant consequence to a very funny event. Rick Schlessinger, Brewers' executive vice president for business operations, called Simon's conduct "one of the most outrageous things I've ever seen inside a ballpark or outside a ballpark. It sickened me to see it."
Get a life. Seriously... have we become that politically correct and oversensitive? We have lost all ability to laugh at ourselves, and that's pathetic. You shouldn't take yourself that seriously, if you can't laugh at yourself and your misfortunes sometimes, then I wonder if you are a very happy person. I do stupid stuff, we all do stupid stuff... most of the time, I am good-natured enough to laugh at myself when it happens. I'm sorry, but if I was dressed as a 6-foot foam hotdog - which is funny just by itself - and I got knocked down into a giant foam bratwurst, I could appreciate the humor in that. Apparently, the Milwaukee Brewers can't and they seriously need to learn how to take a joke.
