Even with the Sochi games in full swing, my addition to the 2010 mascots is still turning up on the first page of a Google image search for "winter olympic mascots".

Amazingly and hilariously, my modified 2010 Olympic Mascots from July 2009 are still getting a first-page result on a Google image search for "Olympic Mascots." I tried a few different regional variations of Google to make sure it wasn't just a matter of localized results for Canada, but no: the attached screen-shot is from google.co.uk!

The Other Olympics

Mon, 2010/03/01 - 10:26am

And now for the other Olympics, the Paralympics. The one that will not be widely televised. The one without live bands and beer-halls. The one where none of the sports are tied up with jingoistic nationalism. The one where the athletes are still amateurs and in it for the love of sport, have necessarily overcome adversities, and won't be getting any big endorement deals. Are those crickets I hear? Are you still convinced the Olympics are all about sport and the human spirit and that is what everyone was celebrating last night?
