You have one of the most dangerous jobs, and I appreciate everything firefighters do.

But let's pretend for a minute that the picture of the dead (or knocked out) firefighter didn't come out before that awful promo video. Would you have been as offended?

To me, the picture coming out before the video provided no context and was quite offensive. That wasn't Adirondack's fault. That was on the local beat writer for tweeting those pictures. And even then, who wouldn't have?

It's a matter of context versus no context. The unveiling video of Scorch is as innocent as they come and shouldn't be found offensive.

Well, this made the top story on Global News at 11.

Edit: Sorry, it was the first thing shown on the news preview when the news started.

Scorch is like. Best. Mascot. Ever.

I'm actually laughing out loud at all the comments.

I am sure the kid who entered the 'design our next mascot' contest on the back of that cereal box has no idea how he has changed the landscape of mascot excellence.

I look forward to the many future appearances of Scorch. Sublime

Yep, I am a fan of Scorch. His creator must be one crazy meth-head.

I really hope we can bring Scorch to Calgary for a special occasion. I would line up to get a photo of him vanquishing me.
