Lesson #1 of creating a mascot:
Rediculous looking creatures a good mascot does not make. I saw on TV here in japan that those mascots are an 'artistic representation of atomic particles' such as an electron and proton and stuff. What are these morons thinking? What the hell does that have to do with the world cup? Or soccer? Or any sport? I mean, unless NASA is having partical accelleration races in their supercolliders then there is really no place for these moronic mascots. Another step down the path set by that stupid olympic IT mascot. Maybe they are just affraid that making a mascot out of something from reality would offend someone...
