Can’t imagine someone objected to comment #5...????

Yes, she was naked, but showed far less other pics here. Some people don't have a sense of humor.

Well if they are going to be a horses ass about it, "Charger" is as good a mascot as any.

I can’t imagine a... Mature, attractive woman would be offended by the term, since it is usually used by young bucks who think she’s hot.

Now I can see the cadre of the National Association of Gals (NAGS) being offended, cause no one thought they were hot at any age.

How long has the term “cougar” been used to refer to women? So now they can just start using a term and within a short period of time dictate how it can be used?

Come to think of it, when was the last time you saw an advertisement for a vacuum cleaner that “sucks”? Do the Flintstones still have a “gay old time”?

Not very. I think the "mature woman seeking sex from young men" meaning is less than 10 years old.

One good thing to come out of this. Even though the school is brand new, the parents and kids know early on that they have a bunch of MORONS on the school board.

Replace them before they start would be my advice to these folks.

I’m not quite THAT old, but at my age women 10-15 years older might as well be dead.

I miss my 67 cougar. Long story short, it had to be sold to appease the spouse.

That’s what I thought. Am I having a bad dream where the inmates have taken over the asylum?

Women should be offended to be called Cougars, not offended by the word used for a school mascot. jeez

Maybe it was because the “official seal” of the school featured a CD of Journey’s Greatest Hits, a bottle of cabernet and a hotel room key.

The inmates took over the asylum a long time ago. Trends in popular culture and informal language are driven almost exclusively by deviants, perverts, morons, politicians, liars, activists, and miseducated children. It’s difficult to think like an intelligent man, while using the language stupid and immature people. This is deliberate.

NM - I lost my virginity in the back seat of a green cougar just like the one featured in the top photo. Sadly, it was not to the model in the pic.
