Is it a trap? Students push Admiral Ackbar for Ole Miss mascot

I just find this hysterical. :)

Will a "Star Wars" character be the new Ole Miss mascot?

The campaign for Admiral Ackbar is gaining Internet, if not intergalactic, steam.

Tuesday, Ole Miss students voted to find a new mascot to replace the abandoned Colonel Reb. A student committee to develop and propose a new mascot will be formed soon.

Ackbar, a member of the Mon Calamari species who led the Rebel Alliance ships into the Battle of Endor, appears to be the early favorite. He has more than 14,000 Facebook fans. Websites like notatrap.org -- "It's a trap!" was his famous line -- are promoting Ackbar's candidacy.

"Who wants a Colonel when you could have an Admiral?" the Web site asks, before launching into "The Story of Ole Miss Ackbar."

I imagine Lucas would welcome the licensing fees ;-)

If I were in Lucas' shoes, I'd let them do it, with certain restrictions, like the Mon Calamari face and maybe the Rebel Insignia with the Ole Miss logo on it, but that's it.

You also would not have created Jar Jar Binks, so your obvious sanity disqualifies you from playing the role of Lucas.

Yeah, George has been sliding towards senility ever since he said, "We'll cut the Wookies in half and call them, Ewoks!"

Maybe he cut them entirely and then hired 50% of them back.

If I had been drinking something when I read this, it would have gone up my nose.
