rob morrisonwho the fuck was this year’s olympic mascot?!?!?!
| written by john on 09/02/08 | 3 comments |
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?

ironywatch: toys”R”us
| written by geoffrey on 07/24/08 | 5 comments |
i’m always on the look out for new things to appreciate ironically. this is ironywatch.
thinking about suspending your hormonal development so you never have to grow up, and therefore can remain a toys”R”us kid forever? great idea! as a kid, toys”R”us was the most fun place in the world, where you could beg and scream at your parents to buy you the ghostbusters HQ playset (complete with fireman’s pole and ectoplasm). as an adult, you’ll find the complete lack of atmosphere and fun nothing short of hilarious.
here’s a picture of what toys”R”us looks like today:
it’s like a food4less with toys! hooray!! i love the magical rafters and twinkling florescent lights. looking at this today, i’m kind of sad that i dragged by grandma there so many times.
so, if you want to have a good time in a depressingly lit warehouse of defective transformers backpacks, ironywatch proudly endorses toys”R”us, where an adult can become disillusioned about their childhood.
