Less than 24 hours after he was introduced, the verdict is in on the New Orleans Pelicans' new mascot. It's not good news for Pierre the Pelican … or as one Twitter wag referred to him: 'a clown murder bird.'

Reaction to our discussion question and on the larger social media spectrum was swift and brutal, with many fans and observers raising the possibility that Pierre would live in the nightmares of children, possibly for decades



ETA: would they really consider changing one game in?

Not wanting our mascot to look like a retarded serial killer chicken doesn't make you a "fake arse fan"

That's not a kid friendly mascot. Could be kin to the boss Gremlin in that 80's movie. Don't feed that mother fricker after midnight.

The organization is moving towards a more adult-orientated product. I, for one, love it.

Pierre is awesome, the idiots who did and responded to this "survey" are probably all those Heat fans who trekked in for the preseason game.

Why would an adult-oriented product need to have a man in a fricking bird costume dance around and act goofy?
