On Sunday, the NSA introduced us to its new, pro-recycling Earth Day mascot, Dunk:
#EarthDay is this Wed. Meet Dunk, the NSA’s #Recycling Mascot & learn about our #green efforts.http://t.co/QdgRPbhDqh
And people quickly started freaking out about it on Twitter:
@NSAGov @CraftMasterMC This scares the living shit out of me. :|
@NSAGov @cahlum he watches you sleep.
@3liza @NSAGov im goign to cry,
@mokoneko_ @Fyrasec @NSAGov oh god this is real
There were jokes:
@3liza @nsagov herds of failed Dunks roaming the grounds of NSA HQ, screaming "RECYCLE US, RECYCLE US FOR THE LOVE OF GOD"
@NSAGov IT AIN'T GONNA SUCK ITSELF
.@NSAGov Mr Dunk told me never to tell anyone, that it would be our secret. And that nobody would believe me if I did tell them.
"KILL YOUR PARENTS, DUNK THEM IN THE TRASH" @mokoneko_ @NSAGov
.@Foqbupog @NSAGov On this Mr. Dunk doll, point to the place where the NSA targeted you.
And straight-up concerns:
jesus christ what 1998 banner ad did you yank this one out of @NSAGov
@mokoneko_ @Fyrasec @NSAGov NSA - Keeping kids scared of recycling since their formation.
But some people were fans of the new mascot:
@NSAGov He seems friendly
@NSAGov @tombomp Mr Dunk has fresh kicks tho
@awesomesonixo @NSAGov good
You can watch a video of Dunk here.
