It is so bad, that it is awesome.

Feels like an awesome SNL parody sketch.

It looks like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man at Carnival.

The best/worst part of it is how happily he is looking down on the firefighter.

Scorch the happy murderous sociopath. WTF, haha.

I'm gonna guess that it's one of the girls who got the mascot job, because there's what appears to be a curtsey around the :25 mark of that video.

The Adirondack Flames have released a statement regarding today’s mascot unveiling.

“Earlier today we unveiled our new mascot Scorch. In an attempt to provide background material for the character who will be the face of our team, particularly with young fans, we crafted a story that Scorch was the remaining ember from the tragic fire that destroyed much of Glens Falls in 1864.

We also crafted a skit that helped to launch the new mascot – with the help of the Glens Falls Fire Department. While it seemed in good taste when it was on the drawing board, it is evident now that it was in poor taste.

On behalf of our entire organization we want to apologize for our thoughtlessness today. We have obviously turned something good, the launch of a mascot which we will use to entertain and encourage young fans, into something that is in poor taste. That was not our intention and again we apologize.

We would like to emphasize that we as an organization take seriously the dangers associated with fire, understand its potentially devastating effects and acknowledge that those in our nation who are called upon to face and fight fires on a daily basis are truly heroes.

We apologize.” – Brian Petrovek, President, Adirondack Flames.

But no apology for the actual mascot design? Mr. Petrovek, you sir, have one more apology to put out today!

Perfection!

Holy we live in a sensitive society if the Adirondack Flames had to issue an apology for something as innocent as a mascot unveiling skit.
