[Bluebear]

OK...




(The mascots represent a ball of snow and a block of ice.)

1. Are you a skater?

What are those, by the way? A snowball and an ice cube?

[Bluebear]

5. In my youth

Yes that's exactly what they are. They look like marshmallows to me.

[skygazer]

4. Original

Not

[flamingyouth]

7. I guess I'm in the minority, but I like them

They actually are kind of original, as opposed to the typical practice of selecting a random animal and having it run around like a loon the whole time.

8. ROFL !! (m)

Kind of cute but very very very weird.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. They let the japanese come up with the design, didn't they?

I can tell they did. Yessirree, that has "Japan" written all over it. . .

12. Has there ever been a GOOD Olympic mascot?

I'm thinking, no.

[HEyHEY]

13. I met those guys once after drinking gasoline by accident

[Bossy Monkey]

14. JESUS POKEY, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO GUMBY?!!!

Or vice versa, for that matter:P

16. New Manga version of the "Ambiguously Gay Duo"?

Mother's little helpers . . .

[Chovexani]

17. The Ambiguously Yaoi Duo?

The red one is clearly the uke. :P

[zbdent]

18. Ambiguously Gei duo?

?

[Fleshdancer]

19. I don't understand the whole mascot thing...

The Olympics consists of the best athletes from all over the world competing to be the very best. And yet the mascots are as childish as the teletubbies. Shouldn't the mascots be superhero-like? Or Greek God/Goddess like?

But no. We ammuse ourselves with a snowball with legs and a block head. I just don't get it.

20. mmmmm. Smores!!
