If you'd have the chance to throw an incendiary dart to a J-League mascot, and so see it run around the pitch on fire (with a lot of Japanese around panicking), which one would you aim at?
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot Jubilokun, obviously. Jubilokun and his tarty mistress Jubichan. On flip side, Grampuskun is genius. Whoever designed it deserves a medal.
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot But Grampuskun, being so fat, would burn perfectly, no? I have a particular dislike for Gamba-Boy...
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot Just one? I am firmly in the Michael Wilbon camp on this. No mascots — NONE — at games. You want to put them outside the stadium or us them as a PR ploy outside of Game Day? Be my guest. Once the game starts, though, you're there to watch and enjoy the game, not have some underpaid intern in a costume bounce around and distract people in the name of "atmosphere." Death to mascots — death, death, death!
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot What! Gamba-boy is so energetic and symbolic!! But on a serious note, I happen to know the guy who designed the gamba-boy. His daughter and I went to same elementary and junior high. It's kinda cool knowing the designer himself, but I don't think he's a Gamba fan.
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot Don't be greedy: most of us want to terminate them: learn to share, c'mon....
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot Listen, one of the things that make the Golden Pavillion in Kyoto famous, is the fact that it was set in fire (have you read Mishima's book). Once I burn Gamba Boy to ashes, your friend will become even more popular. Or perhaps they will ask him to design a Gamba Boy 2.0.... I mean it is a win-win for him...
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot He already made a TON of money for designing the gamba-boy, the family lives in a castle-like mansion.
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot Not the gamba boy! :O anyway, mascots should only appear when they have those kid days.
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot Hey, stop whining about Gamba-Boy! I have made my mind about him. He is a goner... You might instead plot revenge against Pa-san and his phoenix female friend. I mean this is a thread about the destruction of the mascots, not their preservation... C'mon, be MEAN!!
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot i like the gamba boy, but i'd target him too, seeing he's the odd one out while other mascots are animals
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot I'd have to go with the Tokyo Verdy's.. I don't even know its nickname? If I could pick two, the second one will be the Ehime's Oranges. They milk the ポンジュースtheme way too much. Come to think of it, do all the teams have a mascot? I've never seen a FC Tokyo one?
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot I don't think they have one. Fair play to them, but I'm quite happy to have mascots bounding around on the pitch before the game and suchlike. Palchan always hangs out at the entrance to the S-Pa home end to greet those who lined up early and does a choreographed show before game. The little kiddies love it, so I'd feel a right meanie depriving them of him! なんとなく俺もガンバボーイ嫌い!Gamba Boy's just kinda lame. I know most of them are, but what's with those teeth!?
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot Gamba Boy without a doubt. While he is on the ground burning in pain, I would kick him.
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot My idea was: a crossbow loaded with a huge syringe filled with highly inflammable liquid, attached to a big fire-cracker. Light the firecracker, shoot the syringe into Gamba boy, firecracker explodes, liquid is all over Gamba Boy and starts burning. If it works, we can then proceed with all others. Let me know if you have any suggestion to improve my plan.
Re: Burn a J-League Mascot I know, I know... it might sound cruel... But getting rid of the J-mascots it is a great service to humanity. Somebody has to take care of it...
Re: Burn a J. League Mascot i dont know which one to burn, but nagoya and ehime ones rocking the leagues
Re: Burn a J. League Mascot Nagoya is the cutestest man. Tries to pick up the trash.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWH9qUT5d6Y Moonwalk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SW87uEm5uI Oops! I stepped on the flag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UJC7-QkcX4
Re: Burn a J. League Mascot Seriously! Grampuskun is fricking awesome - almost enough to make me support Nagoya! Here was Palchan busting a move yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy9RIb29VT8
