I still think no mascot could ever be worse than Izzy...

That thing plus the bomb probably made the world think twice about letting us host the summer olypmics again

Another cool thing about these mascots is that they say Bei Jing Welcomes you.
Beijing Huan Ying (welcome) Ni (you)
The animals are a fish (beibei), swallow (nini) , antelope (yingying) , panda (jingjing) and the olympic flame (huanhuan)

You can tell China has embraced parts of Capitalism, because whatever else they think of individual rights, they are willing to enforce intellectual property rights to make quick money.

Uh...shouldn't that be violate intellectual property rights to make quick money?

I agree, they're cool. They are not ugly and they have an interesting tale behind each one.

I think sparkle, the starlight starbright mascot, comes freakishly close
