'He looks like he's on meth!' Backlash over Arizona State University's 'Disneyfied' mascot makeover

Arizona State University has outraged its students and alumni after it redesigned its beloved mascot, with some claiming the new 'Sparky' looks 'like he's on meth' and resembles a 'child-molesting Burger King.'
ASU unveiled the updated version of the mascot - designed by Disney - a week ago but the backlash has been overwhelming.
Two Facebook pages, a student-generated YouTube video and an online petition have been created, demanding ASU bring the old Sparky back or alumni say they'll withhold donations to the school.
