‘Woke Police!’ Fox Falls For Obviously Fake Story That Root Beer Chain is Putting Pants on ‘Polarizing’ Mascot
"Fox News got duped into taking an obvious joke about a root beer company’s beloved mascot and turning it into fodder for the endless culture wars.
A&W issued a statement on Tuesday declaring a modification of their mascot Rooty the Great American Root Bear. The fast food & root beer chain said its “polarizing” mascot will no longer be pants-less. Rooty will, going forward, wear jeans.
The statement is a clear nod to the announcement from M&Ms that it suspending its “spokescandies,” which have been the subject of hysteria on Fox News for months.
“Since 1963, Rooty the Great Root Bear has been our beloved spokesbear,” A&W said in its statement. “We knew people would notice because he’s literally a 6-foot tall bear wearing an orange sweater. But now we get it — even a mascot’s lack of pants can be polarizing. Therefore, we have decided that Rooty will wear jeans going forward.”"
