The 2010 Winter Olympic mascots have won the gold medal … in CUTENESS!
The official mascots for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver were announced today! And they’re as confusing as they are adorable.
Quatchi
As his name suggests, Quatchi is a sasquatch. His hobbies include trudging through the snow, having absurdly long arms and lurking in the shadows while taking pictures of strangers playing hockey. Yeah, I said it ? Quatchi’s a creep.
Sumi?
Described on the Web site as an “animal spirit,” Sumi is basically a grab bag of a bunch of different creatures. He’s furry, he’s fashionable and he can fly. Don’t try to rationalize it; just accept it as truth and move on with your life.
Miga
The story of Miga is perhaps the most complicated: He was originally an orca whale, but his desire to walk on land caused him to magically evolve into some sort of whale-bear hybrid. He’s cute, but I’m sure those haters at “The 700 Club” will still try to lynch him for going against creationism.
Now that we’ve had some fun, click here to see what the mascots are really all about.

Why do they do this? Now I’m really excited for something that’s 3 years away. Curse you, Vancouver!
It’s fun to hover back and forth really fast over the characters when they say their names. I do the same sort of thing when I play as jigglypuff with Super Smash Bros.
… does that make me really immature?
No, Joy. It makes you my hero.
Haha I do what I can.
So cute!!
how ADORABLE!!!! I fell in love with Miga at first sight! He is the definition of cute. I saw a stuffed animal the other day of him and am now regretting not buying it….
