    I hate it. Too much of a rip off. I've always thought the Fanatic was obnoxious. The Hiroshima Carps' mascot is the same, called Slyly.

    To be fair, it’s less of a rip off than their previous mascot.

    This might be worse than the "Crazy Crab" mascot for the Giants back in the mid 80's. I'm willing to bet Homer will be back next year due to popular demand.

    Right. For a second I thought he was referring to ripping off the Chief from the Indians.

    Not a rip off. They're siblings.

    I promise you a large group of people got together and made the lest offensive thing they could come up with.

    This is what happens when you turn super PC, everyone ends up hating it.

    Did they just reinvent Mr. Met's eyebrows as bags under Homer's eyes?
