Mets Rat Is No Pizza Rat
We keep getting Churro Squirrels and Fondue Crows and now...Mets Rat.
This photo illustration is the perfect encapsulation of the banal cycle of animal content that we as a people are hopelessly trapped in, and frankly, makes me sad, because this rat definitely, probably got iced as soon it was off the field. But also, if I were in charge of this broadcast, would I tell the camera person to zoom in on the rat running in the outfield? Yes! Yes I would. Thus, life’s complexities, in this one video still.
