Why is the mascot for the 2010 Commonwealth Games a drunk, hobo tiger ?

Shera embodies values that the nation is proud of: majesty, power, charisma, intelligence and grace. His athletic prowess, courage and speed on the field are legendary. He is also a reminder of the fragile environment he lives in and our responsibility towards the protection of his ecosystem.

As many of you already know, it wasn’t a great idea. Not only because bats are great part of the ecosystem, but also, because some carry rabies, which is an incurable disease.

The ? Nets

Via New York Mag:

For a few years there, it seemed like the New Jersey Nets were definitely going to move to an arena-like jumble in Brooklyn designed by the world’s most famous architect. Then the project was delayed by lawsuits filed on behalf of a group of rabble-rousing locals who meet in a dive bar. Then a bunch of complicated bets based on bogus mortgages given to random people in the suburbs of Phoenix went to hell, and no one anywhere could get money to build anything, let alone an arena and massive luxury-housing development. Then the richest man in Russia decided he would pay for everything, although the architect and his expensive fancy-pants design had already gotten canned. Also, one of the main community groups supporting the project had its credibility undermined when two twentysomething kids tricked one of their representatives into talking on-camera about how prostitutes can cheat on their taxes. So if there’s anything to be taken away from the story of the Brooklyn Nets, it’s probably that we have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen next in the story of the Brooklyn Nets.

DiS: What do your parents think?

AH: I really want to them to come to the show at Heaven in October because they don’t quite stand my world and I really wanna show them what we do.

DiS: Yeah, but what do they think about the band name?

AH: Ha, they definitely don’t understand it. How can something you put a swear word in be a way of making a living?
