What's your opinion on these... things?



On MSN today, there was an entire article about them (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5651091/?GT1=4529) in which it mentions the mascots being compared to "animated condoms and mutants from a nuclear meltdown."

I personally, feel bad for the people who have to stand in those things, what do you think?

I think the advertisers are running out of concepts...

what happened to the bears, the dogs, the lions...animals are great events mascots....

Even a human being, a normal human being...not a phallic shaped thingy....

BTW...are those surplus hobbit feet from the LOTR series???

The orange one looks like a badmonton birdie
The blue one looks like it can't decide if it's a guy or a girl

wtf they look like retards tbh wit ya! like, wats wit the faces man, its like wen they were bein made, they stitched em on the wrong way an were too lazy 2 fix em...ghey...

lucky no one can see whos wearin em, otha wise, there would be a lotta shame

The mascots were not the vision of a single artist, like the Spanish stoner who conjured Barcelona mascot Cobi — squiggled in about four seconds — while in a state of drug-induced bliss.

Nearly 200 entries were submitted when Athens organizers put out the call for prospective mascots. The winning creatures were created by a team of six, including a philologist/historian. They were billed as two kids, brother and sister, “full of vitality and creativity, perhaps mischievous and hence lovable.”
