a couple of days ago VANOC released the Mascots. Release a whole pile of contrevercy, actually. Comments were fast an furious, some pointed out other meanings for the chosen names. These included Urban dictionary's definition of Muk Muk as Semen. Another series of comments rotated around the meaning of Quatchi having something to do with horniness or sexual excitement http://www.definition-of.com/Quatchi.
Honestly, I really don't know what to think about these little creatures. On one side, yes they do appeal to the children, on the other, they have absolutely nothing within them resembling Canada. Sure the graphic designer says they are influenced by Native Indian Culture. I, however, feel they look more like a cross between Hello Kitty and Japanese Anime - PokeKitty as a fellow blogger indicated - http://shitfourbrains.blogspot.com/. I don't know if I would go as far as he did, however I am definately not a fan of the look. I do like Muk Muk though.
