Funny mascots

I keep seeing brilliant pieces of artwork recently.

Olympics

Friendlies
Above is the mascot for the 29th Olympic Games. Do they look like super-deformed characters from TV shows such as Power Rangers? Some people also say the black one look very much like PANDA-Z.

FIFA World Cup

FIFA2006
The official World Cup 2006 logo. It is so special. It gives me unimaginable "happiness" whenever I see it.


Sometimes, art can be real difficult to understand.

I saw the unveiling today. The masots are interesting to say the least. Did you read the explanations behind them?

They wanted animals from all parts of China. I found it interesting they chose and "antelope from Tibet." Slightly provocative eh?

why provocative?
Han, Manchurian, Mongolian, Hui and Tibetian are the 5 biggest races in China since 1911, this is what Chinese people were taught
