4 threads about this? Still don't like them.
By the way what does this have to do with stadiums and arenas?

You're suppose to use your imagination...and that's what VANOC has done. They appease to children, and that's what really matters...which should mean big sales for the merchandise for Christmas. The main target of Olympic mascots are the kids...not for adults. And they are certainly easily merchandisable, which is also the whole point, compared to past mascots. Millions of dollars of games revenue come from merchandise.
I'd hold those negative thoughts if you look at what past host cities did: Beijing  Torino  Athens  Salt Lake  Sydney  Nagano  Atlanta  Albertville

The mascots combine native folklore (their names are native) with a west coast feel.

Personally i'm all for these games going to Russia and Sochi. Good luck!
As for whether the best city won or not. The answers is yes it did. Vancouver wasn't the best city when it bid by far yet they will soon be hosting the games next is Russia's turn. Good for them.
