Good Lord, the Bud is good in BC, that or a meth lab was eminating fumes to the neighbors that were hard at work designing mascots..sheesh..

Where's Expo Ernie when you need him!?

Look at the stupid mascots for beijing, see any similarities!?

 

[One Dart]

They look like Pokemon. Gotta catch 'em all!

Adults aren't the market that they are targeting though. Does anyone honestly give a fukc what the mascot looks like?

 

[The Big Dipper]

Does anyone honestly give a fukc what the mascot looks like?

I agree. I could care less what they look like. Seems like some people like getting bent out of shape for nothing.

 

[freddy]

I liked Crazy George the best. Man could he beat a drum or what. Maybe we can pull him out of the old age looney bin for the 2010?

 

[Dude]

That's some quality mascotting right there. Don't know what you bitches are moaning about.

 

[LSD]

Agreed... damn if that's you in the middle Bronco we gotta hang out some time

 

[Captain Shamrock]

That's what mascots are supposed to look like......no?

 

[trece verde]

like Bronco?

 

[The Franchise]

The Skunk serves purpose when we stink it up in the medal counts.

 

[Tim Berners-Lee]

no way they called it MUK MUK ...good god that just made my day

 

[Tuna]

Muk-Muk turns tricks on Davie St. Bound to be a fan favourite.

Who really cares though. Do Vancouverites really have that little to harp about that they have to fixate on furry critters. Does anybody remember any of the mascots from previous Winter Olympics?

 

[Bronco]

Does anybody remember any of the mascots from previous Winter Olympics?

Yes!! The best by far!!!

 

[The Big Dipper]

Like I said, some people have no life, and all they do is bitch and complain.

 

[trece verde]

Like I said, some people have no life, and all they do is bitch and complain.

Kind of like yourself?

So yesterday was a slow news day, and this got much more coverage than it really deserved. FFS, it could have been worse. Much, much worse. At least nobody got shot over it.

Yet.

From the Province today

Stuart Hunter, The Province

It's a name game of Olympic proportions.

The Province decided to Google the names of our four 2010 mascots. Here's what we found:

Miga: The name Miga produced 4,400,000 hits. The folks at Miga Korean Foods in Coquitlam say it roughly translates into "food court" in Korean. It's also a small town in Nigeria's northern provinces. And there's a Miga Lake in Victoria, Australia. Acronyms for MIGA abound, from Make It Go Away to the Mid-Infrared Galaxy Atlas and Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency. For a blast, check out The Misadventures of Miga on myspacetv.com. Or enter "Miga" on YouTube and be prepared for a hilarious soccer blooper and a bizarre bug attack on Spain's Alhambra castle. Miga-wd!

Sumi: Like Miga, Sumi crops up a lot when Googled with 4,330,000 hits. But Sumi is more than just a small town in the Ukraine or name of a world-famous Korean vocalist -- Sumi Jo. Sumi refers to the ink made from a mixture of plant soot and glue used for writing with a brush in Japanese calligraphy called sumi-e. Sumi is also a form of activated charcoal used in a wide range of water purification processes, including fish tank filters. Sumi also stands for Software Usability Measurement Inventory, is the name of a Danish band and part of the famous legal phrase: "So, Sumi."

Quatchi: This was the most unique of the mascot names yielding only 224 hits when Googled. It roughly translates into "sunflower seeds" in Malaysian-Chinese slang -- tasty and healthy. It's also a language dialect in Togo. 2010 organizers had to rethink the original name for Quatchi after a slight screw-up. Some locals wonder whether this younger, shy Sasquatch will grow up to be a snowboarding, Kokanee-stealing, park ranger-thwarting one like our other skunk-apes living in Creston.

Mukmuk: More than just the name of a sidekick varmint, Muk Muk is also the term for a type of Australian aboriginal art. As well, Gorilla Muk Muk is the name of an Internet DJ. In slang, a mucky-muck is a person of great self-importance. Not to be confused with the mukluk winter boot.
