Okay 250.. now you are just messing with us...

Maybe it's just me.... but I can't see any eyebrows on these muskrats... sorry, mascots...

Goodtimes... :-)



They`re disgusting, "/%*(*?$ olympic committee. Oh well, let`s be good Canucks and pretend we like them. ;-(
I supppose for the audience they were designed for, childeren under the age of 10, they are ok....
I won't be tempted to buy one.
I had hoped for something better while knowing it wasn't going to gel!
Oh, well something more that, in my opinion, Mr Campbell will see we all pay for , no doubt?
Looks to me like foreign Japanese cartoon characters. It is almost as bas as the ice fishing fiasco at the Turin closing ceremonies.

My hope was that we would use the Olympics to sell the real and the modern Canada to the world establishing our image for decades to come. Pokeeman doesn't do it IMO.
Great Mascots! I am sure that the Bejing Olympic Committee is very happy with them.

What's that, Dear?

They are for the Vancouver Olympics?

Sorry, Dear, but it is time to check you into rehab - those are distinctively Asian mascots.
Seems someone decided the First Nations theme has been done to death in B.C.advertizing and events, so now they will switch to an Asian influenece?
I would still like to know how these cheap,made in China trinkets actually represent B.C.and Canada?
(that's right...they DON"T!)
I heard the tail end of a story on the radio yesterday, am I mistaken, or do these 'mascots' have japanese sounding names? Should'nt we have them made in our own Canadian sweatshops? and name them after B.C. features; Sea to sky sammy, or whistler wendy or beyond Hope Hope? Or maybe Vic Vancouver, Nootka Nellie, or.....wait for it.................
Prince George!
I know there are some of you who would like to see Gordo voodoo dolls, that come WITH pins. Tee Hee.
