Today was Ferrous the Pig’s birthday! The Noise Nation wishes you a happy birthday and here’s to a wonderful year!
Not to be overlooked was the generosity of Ferrous’ friends the Pork Racers. Carted out on a grounds crew vehicle.. a large wrapped box approached the home team dugout and, to the excitement of the crowd, an exotic dancer jumped out. That’s right.. the Pork Racer crew got Ferrous a stripper.
The “dancer” flew around Ferrous with her best dance moves and got so into the dance that her wig fell off revealing that the dancer was actually a man! The PA announcer quickly commented on what the Pork Racers intended as a joke on their pal Ferrous and the crowd squealed with delight, or shock… I’m not sure which.
I still don’t know how I feel about this….

Utterly and absolutely DISGRACEFUL.
I thought a big part of minor league baseball was supposed to revolve around children and good, clean wholesome family entertainment.
Do we really want to have our children around Strippers and that whole Culture? Really? Wow…okay, they are your kids, not mine.
I won’t even bother to get into the gender-bender deal and ask how is that going over with younger children too young to understand all about “good intentions gone astray with a wardrobe malfunction” in a contemporary America probably too sexually-confused as it is….
All this from the normally Politically-Correct-At-All-Costs-Pork-Chop-Who? IronPigs organization?
Holy smokes…is this an April Fool’s Joke Gone Wild or what?
Seriously.
I loved it! I get sick of the ultra PC atmosphere sometimes. It was a funny joke, if you have a problem with it, you should probably get over yourself, in my opinion.
I hope they warn us in advance next time so I can book a hotel room outside town!
…joking of course. nothing new to kids these days. listen to the music they play and look at the stuff people wear to the games. not sure how many people actually pay 100% attention to the mascot antics before the game anyway.
IronPigs Gone Wild.
Cool…classy. Very educational, very (intellectually) stimulating.
I do see today’s kids…the walk around with their pants around their ankles.
I encourage them to show up at job interviews that way if and when they ever get past 10th grade.
Ryan K — I will make you a deal…you grow up, I will get over myself.
Are we on?
Meanwhile, my wallet has a serious moral problem with supporting Strippers at minor league baseball games, actually, yeah, now that I think about it.
My wallet does not give a damn what the kids are listening to and is very pissed off right about now at Congressman Weiner (Democrat-NY) taking pictures of his junk and texting such to young, college girls when he is not Tweeting with Pornstars.
What do you want me to tell my wallet, Ryan K.?
Think carefully, the IronPigs Baseball Club, its corporate sponsors and others such as the concessioneers could be directly affected by your intelligent and influential opinion…
I WILL NEVER GROW UP! You gotta learn to be a man, without destroying the boy inside you. Don’t take life to seriously. I don’t know what you should tell your wallet, but your wallet would probably tell you “Spend some money, have a good time, enjoy your life, hire a stripper for a ballpark mascot”
Hire a stripper?
How much will your wife/girlfriend be costing for the evening and will she perform other services, as well?
Wrong answer, Chief?
SHE is EXPENSIVE, trust me, I know! 😉
Money would be no object, that is what women would be for from what I can see and am, apparently, being conditioned to.
Nevertheless, very clever answer this time around — gotta give you credit where it is due.
I don’t know about your wallet, but my 25 years’ experience in activism are telling me you’d probably be more effective if you quit belaboring your point on a fan blog and focused your attention on something that’s more likely to get results, such as writing to the ballpark management and telling the decisionmakers how you feel.
You found the cross-dressed-stripper gag offensive. We get it. If you’re asking for support with some campaign to keep them from doing it again, then explain your campaign and tell us what you need us to do so the people who share your concern can take proactive steps to fix the problem. If you’re just ranting, you should probably stop now, before you irritate (and thus alienate) your potential supporters.
Hippie,
Glad to see you are so comfortable with the whole thing. Glad to see women are nothing more than sex objects and we are teaching our children young. Glad to see you are into cross-dressing but I am not shocked.
And, NOT asking for your support.
Furthermore, I never stop until I am good and ready…mostly because your opinions — particularly your tolerance for offensive behavior inappropriate for a minor league baseball team passing itself off as family entertainment — hold little water with me.
PS — I don’t need your support, or that of anyone else, and, thus, have no reason to care about irritation or alienation.
The IronPigs need my money more than I will ever need theirs.
Have a pleasant rest of your life, Babe.
(You can just go ahead and spend your money at the Park for me from now on, okay? Enjoy the next Stripper Party)
