What makes Goldie any different from the Bulldog at UGA? The Falcon at the Air Force Academy? Or any other campus that has a live animal as a symbol of their institution?
The bottom line is, these guys are morons. Whether or not MTV or the fraternity tries to wash their hands of the situation, I doubt that they'll be able to convince the public otherwise.
I really think some people are just way too insensitive.

I'm not defending them.
I just think people are getting way too bent out of shape over a fish. You said it yourself, it's not the mascot or emblem of the community -- it's just a fish.
I'd be a little more upset if they killed and ate the UGA Bulldog
