Atlanta Braves Get Tomahawk Chopping Cow
Braves Do Their Best To Piss Off As Many People As Possible
I realize that everyone has their price, but whatever it was for the Atlanta Braves, I hope it was astronomically high.

In a move that can only be described as ridiculous, the Braves are going to insert a massive tomahawk chopping robotic Chick-Fil-A cow into their stadium and will unveil it on Friday.

The cow stands an absurd 40-feet high and weighs 15,000-pound, and yes, as stated before, it will indeed do the tomahawk chop. So that takes care of pissing off both Native Americans and PETA at the same time. Well done Braves.

So how do they justify putting this monstrosity in their stadium?
The Braves liked the idea because the cow enhances the fan experience, said Derek Schiller, executive vice president of sales and marketing for the Atlanta Braves.

"I think it's going to be a great complement to the stadium," Schiller said.
Of course it will be. At least until it gets struck by lightning, comes alive, and pulls a Godzilla on downtown Atlanta.

Although who knows, it may inspire Chipper to hit .400 this year or demand an immediate trade.

By the way, I'd kind of like to hear Henry Aaron's thoughts on the cow. I'm sure he wishes the Braves had something like this in the stadium during his playing days. Or maybe not.

With Leather also has a take on this.

There's a huge coke bottle in the upper section at Turner Field, and if someone hits a home run, the person that gets the ball wins a $1 million.

 

Maybe if a home run hits the cow, the person who gets the ball will get their money back.

Crash Davis: Well, he really hit the sh-t outta that one, didn't he?
[laughs]
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: [softly, infuriated] I held it like an egg.
Crash Davis: Yeah, and he scrambled the son of a b-tch. Look at that, he hit the f-cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!
[laughs]
Crash Davis: You having fun yet?
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: Oh, yeah. Havin' a blast.
Crash Davis: Good.
[pause]
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: God, that sucker teed off on that like he knew I was gonna throw a fastball!
Crash Davis: He did know.
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: How?
Crash Davis: I told him.
I believe if you hit the cow all you win is the complete loss of your dignity.

Maybe if someone pegs the cow in the head it will tomahawk it's gut open and dump about 10,000 Chick-Fil-A's on all the fans. Hope y'all like chicken.
