Have you noticed that some Olympic mascots are beyond strangers?
Every two years the Olympic Games - winter or summer - take place in some part of the world. But apart from the Olympic torch, the competitions, the medals and the expected opening ceremony, a figure that can never miss is never the mascot of the event. After all, we need to make sure that there will be at least one thing to criticize, so imagine if absolutely everything goes as planned! What are we going to talk bad about later?
According to Gizmodo people, the first time a mascot appeared at the Olympic Games was in 1968, and since then all - without exception - have been criticized in some way. However, if we stop coldly to analyze the creatures chosen to represent the events, in the case of many of them the disapproval was not entirely unfounded.
