Apparently, Mike Vick is a powerful role model. He tortures dogs, and now everybody wants to get into the act. Two 14 year old boys, undoubtedly wearing #7 Falcons jerseys, jumped into a hippo pit at the Kansas City zoo:

"According to a witness, the youths jumped into the hippo enclosure and threw rocks at the huge animals. The witness, who was identified as a 14-year-old girl, said the animals became angry and began to charge the boys."

Unfortunately, the boys weren't hurt. Neither was the hippo. They were arrested, however. And I am beaming with pride because both boys are from St. Louis, which happens to be my hometown.

Already, Michael Vick is influencing young people to act aggressively towards animals. I mean, what's next? Naked people jumping into crocodile pits? Mr. Goodell, Mr. Blank, we are waiting. The QB you are in charge of is blatantly influencing the youth of America into attacking animals. Hurry up and suspend him, or somebody may do something really stupid, like jump into a lion's den.
