Nothing beats Izzy as the shittiest mascot ever.

Blaze, the paralympic mascot, was far superior.

I have you beat.

The Akron minor league baseball team decided to rename their team in the late 1990s. They wanted their team name to honor Judy Resnick, an astronaut and Akron native who died in the Challenger explosion. The team name they chose? The Akron Blast.

But what takes the cake is the mascot of their team. It was a cat .... named Kaboom!

The Beijing Games mascots were alright imo. Fun, somewhat normalish looking but not freakshows like we have...

1) They look like penises.
2) Olympic mascots are always stupid.
3) The Olympics should not have mascots.
4) The Olympics should not move around. Just pick one spot for the Summer (Greece?) and Winter (Scandinavia?) and be done with it. The amount of money wasted by each host city is obscene.


Youve got my vote.

The added bonus is the Olympic committee could probably buy Greece really cheaply right now (might even get Norway thrown in free).:awe:
