Let's face it: Local news programs pretty much suck. Morning progams in particular. The weather guys are never right, the anchors cheerfully chit-chat about stupid stuff, and the reporters are always out doing lame bits with giant vegetables. But, every once in a while you see something that you can't turn off. In Philadelphia, it's Mascot Monday. The local FOX affiliate's morning program concludes each Monday with a baffling segment where the anchor dances with mascots

Don't ask why. Just watch and laugh (video is embedded after the jump). And if you like it, there are a whole bunch more of them on YouTube.
