The GIF Bracket, Round 2: Where Dogs Are Angry, Birds Are Dead, And Riots Are Great Exercise

Push-ups during a riot. An unmanned medical cart barreling through a crowd of people. An angry dog. A dead bird. The East Region of the Animated GIF Bracket is a frightening one. Vote, and help us decide the winner.

Wednesday, something became clear: Rollerblading Raptors Mascot and Yankee Enthusiast are steamrolling to the regional final, and it’s impossible to tell what will happen once they meet. You can still vote on the South Region here, as polls will remain open until Friday afternoon.

Moving on, the East Region of the Animated GIF Tournament may be the toughest. Let’s take a moment of silence to acknowledge some of those who were eliminated:

OK you know what? Nevermind, they clearly don’t give a shit.

In case you’re new here: throughout the day, I’ll be updating this page with links to polls, where you can view a pair of animated GIFs and vote on which is superior. If you’d prefer not to sit and refresh this page all morning, you can follow me at @jon_bois, where I’ll be tweeting out links throughout the day.
