Dog days for dancing hot dog

The big hitters have been swinging large in the past few weeks. The Major League Baseball committee have served papers to the recently popular “dancing hot dog” meme.
The MLB claims that the dancing hot dog has been negatively affecting sales after dancing across the nation’s heart.
Lawyers of the MLB claim the hot dog has directly caused the sales of in-stadium hot dogs to drop drastically. The lawsuit claims the hotdog is to pay damages and put in place a 100-yard restraining order keeping the delectable dancing dog from every baseball stadium that sells hot dogs.
“This is a serious issue and shall be treated as such,” the lawyer representing the league said. “Mr. Dog may dance in his day-to-day, but no more will he dance his way through the wallets of our vendors. We guarantee his damage to the good old American pastime will not go without punishment.”
The lawsuit has divided the fans of baseball everywhere, and the internet has exploded with activity over the serving of papers to the formerly famous meme. A recent poll claimed over 59 percent of all active Myspace users believe the dancing hot dog should not be sued by the MLB.
“This meme is not just a meme anymore,” claimed the admin of the dancing hot dog fanclub on Reddit. “If you look closely, you can see how this dancing hot dog has danced his way into the heart of most baseball fans.”
There is a vocal community of baseball fans who say the hot dog is ruining their American pastime.
“I just can’t bring myself to eat something so similar to that cute feller,” said Matt Moole, a baseball fan in a recent interview. “My children wail, even when I suggest getting a hot dog at a game.”
Fans of the breakdancing frankfurter claim his banishment would change nothing.
“He has already been across stadiums nationwide,” one fan said. “How are we as people supposed to just remove and fine this wonderful meme for bringing happiness, cheer and a little groove to each stadium he has visited?”
While the Lawsuit has yet to begin, it is now common to see signs at entrances of baseball stadiums barring entry to the dancing hot dog. There have already been two reported incidents of baseball fans being escorted from the stadium after being caught using the hot dog filter at recent games. The MLB warned if this trend is to continue, repeat offenders may be barred entry into future games.
The lawsuit will take place on Feb. 30, 2019. When asked about the issue, the hot dog did little but wave his hands. It seems the squabbles of humans mean little to memes.
