So personally, I don't like the 2010 Winter Olympic mascots (and I hate the construction, money issues, theft and industrialization happening here because of it even more! I would like to have my city back to the way it was when I was in Grade 4, please)
In case people aren't aware, our 'mascots' are;
Sumi - a thuderbird with the legs of a black bear and an orca hat.
Quatchi - a sasquatch
Miga - a Sea Bear
Please, kill me now.
The concept was a good one, I'll admit that. The execution sucks.
I mean as in a TOTAL WIPE OUT! Ugh.
Other than the fact that if you look at the colours (and I'll have to admit coming up with completely different colour schemes are hella hard) and at how they hold themselves....
IT'S A BEAR! IT'S A BIRD! IT'S BLACK AND WHITE! IT'S PRIMARILY GREEN! WHERE DID ORIGINALITY GO!?
Beijing's mascots looks nicer, and their names actually have a welcoming message. It's kinda cute. (And they don't look like rejected anime characters)
Vancouver's mascots are... kinda lost. Like a shot in the dark. but hey, if it sells to the little bumpkins, then who are we to argue a good ploy? Because that's what we're here for, money, and at $20 a pop (for something made in China, hey, didn't we have a bunch of recalls of toys made from China a while back?) do you really think people will buy them?
Of course! They're cute and adorable, and could pass as Pokemon. Of course some kid would drag their parents into buying it.
Feh.
I love living in Vancouver, it's nice here (mostly). But at this rate, I think I might have to contemplate moving once I've done with my education. Especially once the Olympics are over.
