who the fuck was this year’s olympic mascot?!?!?!
written by john on 09/02/08

did the olympics just happen? i mean, i saw something on tv this summer that kind of looked like the olympics… but it couldn’t have because THERE WAS NO FUCKING OLYMPIC MASCOT!!!!!!!!!!!

i don’t know if you guys remember but back when we were kids it seemed like the actual games were secondary to what ever dumb ass character was chosen to represent them. remember back in ‘96 when they picked that izzy guy… he was like this blue thing and… and i guess there’s no other way to really describe him, he really was just this blue thing and i guess his eyes were supposed to be the olympic rings or something.

but whatever, he was slapped on every bit of merchandise imaginable. if alf fucked michelle tanner their baby would be izzy the olympic mascot (and by the way… slash fic idea!). he even had a super nintendo game!

but now there are no olympic mascot video games because i don’t even know who the fucking olympic mascot is. what’s wrong with you chinese government? you’ve enslaved so many children, can’t you put one of them to work designing the ultimate olympic mascot? an olympic mascot that will tower over all the weak willed western mascots? an olympic mascot that will drive a tank right through olypic mascot square crushing the skulls of ronny and roni the racoons, paloma the dove and blaze the colorful pheonix?

    Yeah, there was 5 cute mascots. One for each color. They were pretty freaky. They could also be the new power rangers or power puff girls or something.

    one for each color? there’s a lot more than just five colors. you must mean one for each of the five colors approved by the chineese government. use of any other color is punishable by public execution.
