"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More than 41,000 people follow Milwaukee Brewers mascot Bernie Brewer on Twitter, for some reason. Bernie is very proud of his fact. Los Angeles Kings mascot Bailey launched a coup in an attempt to surpass Bernie as the most-followed mascot on Twitter.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bernie didn't take kindly to this, so he started asking people to follow him and help him stay on top.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then he started tweeting at Brewers players, other MLB mascots, and mascots from other teams in the Milwaukee area. He was really getting desperate.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Things got really weird when Bailey peeled back the curtain on the reality of plush animals on social media.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mascots are the worst. Ban mascots.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Dan Gartland&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
