You might remember that the Red Rodents got in some hot water about ten years back when, in a comically misguided attempt to trumpet UW-Madison's "diversity," they executed perhaps the worst Photoshopping in the course of recorded history.

Hello, Anonymous African-American Madison Student Who Appears to be Watching the Game Under a Bright Fall Sun That Isn't Casting Its Glow on Anyone Else in Your Section!

No: the problem is that if you're going to do something that transparently dumb, you need to go bigger. Much bigger.
