Bravo to Karl for posting/finding this tee, of a mascot that didn’t make the cut for Beijing 2008, though I do probably find it funnier because it immediately reminded me of the South Park episode with the Sexual Harassment Panda in it, a clip of which I’ve embedded below.

I liked the Olympics opening ceremony (colours! fireworks! dancing!), but there was one thing that really annoyed me. When they were making the speeches someone said something along the lines of “we’ve met all the aims and goals that the IOC gave us in hosting these games,” and I sat up in my chair a little bit since I’m pretty sure one of the conditions of them hosting the games was that they eased up on treating their own people like crap, yet they’ll just sweep that under the rug (and everyone else in the world will let them) and pretend that everything’s fine for a couple of weeks. With that little rant in mind, I’m really glad that Shirtspotting put together a post of tees that I wouldn’t dare wear in Beijing, so fair play to the woman above!

I say that this won’t be around for long for two reasons:

1) It’s limited to 100 pieces worldwide.
2) I doubt that they’ve got a license for it, and the IOC aren’t particularly well known for being cool with people making use of their magic rings.

I quite like the print on the back, its rather more interesting that most of the official merchandise, but I can’t work out why they’ve put their logo and that distinctly uninspired font on the front. Get rid of the front print and switch the back print to the front and I’d be a lot more impressed with this. If you’re impressed, you can find it (unless its already sold out) at the following stores.
