6號先生
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）中的尤尼奧爾叔叔在戒毒一個月期間毒癮發作最痛苦時瘋狂跳舞的情景，這便是6號先生。六旗主題公園（Six Flags）2004年因為某些原因推出6號先生作為自己的吉祥物。雖然從創意來說無法超越“說唱祖母”，但事實證明，6號先生產生了很好的效果，尤其是受到了孩子們的歡迎，而且得到了許多人模仿。2005年，華盛頓紅人隊（Washington Redskins）老板丹尼爾•斯奈德收購六旗主題公園，交易第二天，他便宣布放棄使用6號先生。但在2005年，這座公園重新啟用了這個吉祥物?！稌r代》（Time）雜志不由得發出疑問：“以兒童為目標群體的六旗主題公園為什么用一個古怪的老家伙作為吉祥物？”
