Are the Loons fighting evil from Indiana?

Earlier today, I happened upon the website for the South Bend Silver Hawks, rivals of the Dodgers-affiliated Great Lakes Loons. In fact, they are opening the season against each other on April 5th.

The Silver Hawk site has a Flash intro animation. Now, Flash intros as a general rule…what’s the word I’m looking for…ah yes: suck. This one, however, is even more pernicious. Below is a screenshot, but it does not begin to cover the malevolence of the original.

evil silver hawk menacing children?

It’s impossible to do it justice with words — go check it out. I feel compelled to support the Loons now, if they’re fighting off menacing demons from Indiana.
