French Unveil New Creature

The French have put the results of their educational system on display for the entire world to see. They revealed a new "mascot" that will be used to brand French financed celebrations in Quebec, Canada. And the creature, supposed to be a cross between a cow and a caribou has attracted a lot of attention from Quebecers. When they stop rolling on the floor long enough, they hurl insults.

The chimeric hybrid, crafted by a young French graphic designer, was meant to invoke the dairy cattle of Normandy, where Quebec's first settlers originated, and the wild caribou roaming Quebec's tundra.

But Quebec officials pointed out that the antlers atop the mascot belonged to a moose, not a caribou. Also, the female was crowned with male moose antlers.

"All that was missing were feathers and a beaver's tail to make the full tour of Quebec folklore. Why not have it coming out of a log cabin too?" quipped the Francophone Journal de Quebec.

Cows with moose antlers. Seriously, this is almost as good as the penguin-eating polar bears. I'm with the Quebecers on this one. I want to see the full monty. Feathers, beaver tail and all! But here's the weird picture as it exists today……. For now……. Excuse me, I gotta go boot photoshop……
