Mascots Beware

Over the last few weeks, BHB has noticed an odd and ominous trend — restaurant mascots are being brutalized.

Sure, some of you reading this may have roughed up a Bob’s Big Boy statue during your college days, but he probably deserved it. However, the mighty mascots of the Heights are just innocent standees trying to make a living getting you to sample some tasty vittles.

Case in point: The Taze mascot guy on Montague. He’s been roughed up a little and half his face was gone last week.

Case in point: The senseless de-earing of the Blue Pig on Henry Street.

    The kids in the Pace dorm are too busy playing their music unbelieveably loud all night long. Can’t wait for them to leave.

    [...] A while back, we reported on what seemed to be a trend of restaurant mascot assaults.  "Aram" writes to the BHB Inbox with word of another senseless attack: You may be interested in this.  This morning (saturday), around 9:30 a.m. I was walking home from having breakfast on the promenade in Brooklyn Heights, and when I reached Remsen between hicks and henry, I saw something strange on the ground.  It was a broken statue, much like those that appear outside tacky restaurants to hold a menu of daily specialties.  His legs were missing and his arm was broken.Then, at the edge of the block (henry), I saw his feet.  It looked like someone carried him (possibly from Monty Q's, though I did not check), down the block where his legs snapped off… in a panic, the vandals (ok, alleged vandals) then rushed down the block heading towards the promenade when they ditched the statue, thereby breaking off his arm.  That's my Law & Order style hypothesis.  Anyway, I thought you guys might be interested in the photos (taken with my glorious iPhone).
