Dunk (mascot)
Dunk is an anthropomorphic recycling bin who functioned as a mascot for the National Security Agency (NSA), in order to promote recycling.[1][2] He debuted in 2015.
Reception[edit]
Dunk was criticized for his rough CGI design. He was mocked on a segment of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart,[3] described as "the stuff of nightmares" by The Verge,[4] and as "terrifying" by USA today.[5]
