Mexi-Cam?

If last Thursday's stinker against Clemson weren't offensive enough (and most State fans I know refuse to even talk about it at this point), it turns out the most egregious assault on good taste didn't even happen on the field. No, I'm not talking about Chuck Amato's wardrobe or even a murder in the parking lots.

No, this little piece of high class comedy was shown on the Jumbotron - the same one that showed a clip of Amato that was promptly met by loud boos. Like many other sports arenas trying to generate artificial fun (maybe to offset the lack of fun in the actual product), State's Jumbotron shows little live clips of fans. They have the Kissing-Cam where they show a cute, kissing couple. They have a Fan-Cam, where I guess they try to find some fans. And on Thursday night, they had the Mexi-Cam where they found a "Hispanic-looking" couple and slapped them up on the huge screen for all to see with the text "Mexi-Cam" under their faces.

Nice.

Very nice.
