With all due respect to MFM, the only cartoon bear with any business near the Cubs is this one:

Or, Hamm's beer, for that matter. Not available in these parts. But, yeah, that bear is more fitting of MFM...

He's new, so who knows? Maybe he IS MFM in his next life.

For nearly 10 seconds Tuesday night, CSN Mid-Atlantic mistakenly aired an X-rated cartoon version of the Chicago Cubs new mascot, Clark the bear. The Cubs announced the creation of Clark the day before and have gotten, seemingly, a mixed reaction. The biggest complaint/point of contention: He doesn't wear pants. OK, noted.
Of course, the irreverent troublemakers over at Deadspin ripped Clark albeit with tongue in cheek calling him "A nightmarish, perverted furry." If that wasn't enough, they called for a contest and asked readers to submit their most cynical altered renderings of Clark. Most were not safe for work. One of them, featuring male genitalia, got into the CSN Mid-Atlantic graphics machine and made it onto the air during "Sports Talk Live."
This is the not-safe-for-work-under-any-circumstances link to the Deadspin post with video.
The funniest/worst part was the description of Clark, provided by the Cubs, read by CSN Mid-Atlantic co-host Nicole Darin, as viewers in the Washington, D.C.-area were shown Clark's family jewels:
"He's described as a young, friendly Cub who can't wait to interact with the kids..."
Oy. It was about this moment that co-host Brian Mitchell (he used to play NFL football) let loose with an embarrassed:
"Oh, my goodness."
Darin, trying to regain control after noticing the bear had a little something extra, played it straight:
"Uh ... I think that is a gag photo. If we could switch to the next one."
