I'm All For Minor League Affiliates Doing Crazy Promotions, But This Is Just Downright Wasteful

They should be ashamed of themselves. I'm talking about every single party involved. The Milwaukee Admirals, their marketing team, the company whose making these bobbleheads, the glorified pawn shop that's sponsoring them, and every other individual that was complicit in the mass production of this caricaturized trash. You don't even have to be conservative to realize how wasteful this promotion is going to turn out to be. Never has a fan giveaway been more ripe to be thrown from the stands. I thought the Florida Panthers were stupid for giving out commemorative rubber rats under the advisement not to launch them on the ice, but the Milwaukee Admirals doubled down by coming up with the brilliant idea to give everyone harder, more dangerous representations of human vermin? Shit, even if they are smart enough to pass them out as everyone is leaving the building they are still going to cause so much unnecessary trash it would make a tree-hugger's fists clench. I'm not exactly sure of the most efficient way to "go green", but crapping away resources on useless memorabilia aimed at the red or blue party seems rather suicidal to the cause. Don't get wrong, there's a hell of a lot of symbolism in how spineless and big headed they are, but I can't see a way in which the facilitation of dolls portraying the two most hated Presidential candidates IN HISTORY doesn't end up being an unmitigated disaster.
