THE LION THING


Official World Cup mascot Goleo is officially the shittest mascot in the world.
Nici, the Bavarian toy company that paid $36 million for the rights to the lion thing here, has gone bust as shelves remain full of Goleo toys rejected by the German public.
Admittedly the toys - designed by the people that make the muppets - look slightly better than the bloke that had to dress up in this ridiculous outfit for the photo.
But surely even the muppet people would admit bringing the lion to life by getting a man in a lion suit to do the press with those stupid boots and a fucking annoying talking football was possibly the worse decision ever made.
Jim Henson would be turning in his grave.
If you like football, try World Cup Ranter - it will fit you better than those boots, that's for sure.

The one good thing about a talking football - kicking the living shit out of it.

Not as bad as Digit Al - now that's some bad shit. And it'll be around a lot longer than Lion Boy.
