6号先生
Imagine Uncle Junior from The Sopranos dancing wildly while in the deepest throes of a month-long meth tweak, and you have Mr. Six. The mascot for the Six Flags theme parks was introduced to the public for some reason in 2004. Although creatively speaking not much above a rappin' grandma, Mr. Six proved to be effective, especially among kids, and has been widely parodied. Nevertheless, when Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder purchased Six Flags in 2005, he announced the very next day that Mr. Six would be deep-sixed. He was brought back in 2005, prompting Time magazine to wonder: "Why Is Six Flags Targeting Kids with a Creepy Old Guy?"
大家可以想象一下《黑道家族》（The Sopranos）中的尤尼奥尔叔叔在戒毒一个月期间毒瘾发作最痛苦时疯狂跳舞的情景，这便是6号先生。六旗主题公园（Six Flags）2004年因为某些原因推出6号先生作为自己的吉祥物。虽然从创意来说无法超越“说唱祖母”，但事实证明，6号先生产生了很好的效果，尤其是受到了孩子们的欢迎，而且得到了许多人模仿。2005年，华盛顿红人队（Washington Redskins）老板丹尼尔•斯奈德收购六旗主题公园，交易第二天，他便宣布放弃使用6号先生。但在2005年，这座公园重新启用了这个吉祥物。《时代》（Time）杂志不由得发出疑问：“以儿童为目标群体的六旗主题公园为什么用一个古怪的老家伙作为吉祥物？”
