Mascot Monday Returns... On CBS 3!
If you've been reading this site for a while, you may remember Mascot Monday, the Good Day Philadelphia segment where the anchors danced with mascots. (All of the old clips have been taken down by noted fascists YouTube, it seems.) The last Mascot Monday that we have data for took place on July 17, 2006.
But never fear! As you can see above, CBS 3 today launched Phunky Phanatic Phriday, where each week an anchor will dance with the Phillie Phanatic. The greatest Mascot Monday of all time featured the Phillie Phanatic, so it's not a bad one to get, uh, inspiration from.
In the first episode, sports anchor Ukee Washington dances with the Phanatic and an "assistant," Amanda. At the end of the month, you'll get to vote on which anchor gets to dance on top of the dugout with the Phanatic. There... really are no words. Maybe "mascot dancing" is a typical part of a morning show now, like weather and sports. Seriously, what the phuck?

Yeah, that would be the first Mascot Monday I reported on, and it was actually a baby. (I just misidentified it.) I was actually just taking photos of my TV back then, ha.
That was actually like the third Mascot Monday, I think, because I'm almost positive I saw it before and it didn't really seem out of place for me at the time on Good Day.

What was that photo you posted a while back with the photo of the person in the big pink bunny suit with its ass cover hanging open? That one rocked.
