That rabbit looks like it licked an electrical outlet.

Vancouver's mascots were insane. Wasnt one the spirit of Christmas or something equally ######ed?

Its like they were picked up on the Island of Dr. Moreau...

The London mascots are following what is now becoming a legacy of crazy.

These Russian mascots are at least just animals. Animals with attitude (Poochy anyone?), but still, just animals.

A bit too cutsy, but at leasts there not totally cracked out like the London and Vancouver mascots. Quite frankly I was expecting something a lot more "philisophical" from a European nation like Russia. Like maybe the living embodiments of despair and joy.....I guess a bear and some other random animals will have to do.

I find it funny when grown adults debate the merits of mascots that are designed for children.

Yeah, and from that standpoint Vancouver hit it out of the park in terms of marketing to children. Those mascots sold like hotcakes.

Mukmuk is still the best.

Those can't be all of them. SportsDome had the unveiling of the first two already.

I was hoping they would use Volk.


According to wiki he is "portrayed as a hooligan who eagerly turns to vandalism, abuses minors, breaks laws, and is a smoker." Sounds about right.

Anyone remember this cartoon? I remember it from my days as a child in commie land, and the thing scared the crap out of me.

Snow leopard, fox. Whatever. The point is you knew which one I was talking about.
