hhStop the mascot insanity already. And by that I mean stop the insane mascots. The latest laughable creation is “Conservin’ Irvin”, the state’s water conservation ink splotch. Or something. Yuck. That does not make me want to conserve water. More like it makes me want to drown my sorrows to overcome retinal abuse from looking at that way too big, way too happy grin.

Bonus question: Did the state pay somebody to design this thing?
