FIFA finally gets the World Cup mascot a pair of shorts

Posted in Quick Quips on Sep 25, 2008

The mascot for the 2010 football world cup in South Africa was unveiled on Sept 23. After the shockers that were the last two World Cup mascots, I was expecting something similar or worse than a set of comic alienoids or a half clothed lion football man.

The 2006 mascot - Is it half-clothed or half-naked ?

But thanks to I don’t know who, we have been spared – FIFA’s latest mascot, Zakumi, is a return to sanity and propriety

Such fears never arose in the good old days. Check out all the World Cup mascots till date and the rationale behind each.

Is it a mere coincidence that the mascot horrors have come in the reign of Mr Sepp ‘ mad bundle of ideas‘ Blatter. I am wondering what could be an appropriate punishment for him – making him dress like the 2006 mascot probably!!!
