Gymnorhina tibicen, the Australian Magpie, has been brought into disrepute by having the Collingwood Football Club adopt them as their mascot, without permission, or paying any monetary fee for this honour, how can this abomination be stopped? and what should be the amount of the punitive damages to correct this insult?

The AFL should be forced to make reparations by shutting down the Carlton, Hawthorn and Geelong football clubs.

The magpie has done more to bring itself into disrepute than any Collingwood supporter has. I’ve never yet had a Collingwood supporter launch off the top of a lamp-post and attack me for minding my own business.

Not a good idea, just in case one or two of them master it.
