    That was my exact reaction to this.

    This society is turning into the biggest bunch of pussies. Seriously, is there anything that someone doesn't take offense to these days??? People have become so fucking uptight...it's ridiculous.

    Seriously!!! People need to get over themselves, most annoying thing ever.

    This is kind of beside the point, but if I were running that school I would urge (not force) the kids to pick a new mascot too. Not because Cougars is potentially offensive (that really is the most over-sensitive and PC thing I've heard of), but just because of the lack of imagination the student body put into it. Don't just adopt the mascot of the most popular college/team in the area, come up with something original. Here in Texas every school isn't the Longhorns and Cowboys.

    Come up with something original kiddos.
