Dear readers,
For those of you who remember- a while back I had posted about the cultural offensive 2010 Olympic Mascots. (Original post can be seen here.)
As of today- the petition in regards to the 2010 Olympic Mascot Disgrace is up!

Hard copies will be sent out to the far reaches of Canada- for those who don't have internet access.
For those that do, an easy and quick way to sign the petition can be found here:

Please keep comments civil- as we do not want to devalue the integrity of our petition.
Please sign only ONCE- either hard copy, or internet. This as well, to keep the integrity of our petition.

ANOTHER NOTE: While I understand some poeple are not willing to leave a name when signing the petition, understand that the authenticity of that signature may come into quesiton when there is no "hard evidence" to support it. Names will not be misused, and e-mails are purely asked for validation purposes (and to avoid double signatures). I receive NO information about the e-mails or who has signed. Please try and leave a name as it is important to the cause at hand.

Can you sign it if you're not in Canada?

Because I'm on the other side of the pond but I can't help but feel that they've just been... careless... and that when something big like the freaking Olympics come up they should at least try to represent their country and culture. I mean, isn't that what the games are about?

....Do you have to donate money? o_o;; I tried to sign and it asked me to pay, with no option to skip over.
Your doing it!!!! Awesome!!! :D
I told my editor about you and your stories, He is interested for a news beat though he feels it might be too old ^^;...when did you graduated from sheridan? He wanted to Know~
I'll sign the petition Too XD
Ack! I signed anonymously because I didn't want my full name on the internet! Sorry! D:
You don't have to, it's asking for cash to support the site.
Just above that area is a message saying: "Your signature has been recorded." :)

Why does your nose run and your feet smell? It makes NO sense...

This is Jesus ... watch him dance!
Signed! Geez. How badly can they slaughter culture? I mean, what's the deal with Thunderbird?! I do not believe he's a bear in a winged sweater...

I have added my name to the petition & stated my feelings on the matter. I find it rather offensive that the designer did not consider the culture behind the creatures - instead they focused on what was more appealing to children... That is incredibly intolerable.

Will you submit your designs in if they decide to allow for a re-design? Your depictions actually reflect the cultural aspects of the animals - ten times better than the horrible "Hello Kitty" adaptions...

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak.
There ain't no disguising the truth. ~DC Talk
Thank god.
