Weirdo - Tipo strambo


Olympic Mascots: Athens 2004
The two happy pink weirdos above, for exmaple, have gracefully represented the Athens 2004 Olympics. I don't care if they are named "Ahena" and "Phebos", and that they are actually two ancient dolls. They do look like moronic walking pink pears with gout, and their hair is the color of their skin! I can only imagine the controversy these two raised after a couple of glasses of Ouzo and Retsina.

Mascotte Olimpiche: Atene 2004
I due felici tipi strambi rosa lì sopra, per esempio, hanno graziosamente rappresentato le Olimpiadi di Atene del 2004. Non mi interessa se si chiamano "Atena" e "Febo" e se in realtà sono due antiche bambole. Sembrano decisamente pere deambulanti rosa idiote e con la gotta, e i loro capelli sono del colore della loro pelle! Posso solo immaginare la polemica che questi due hanno innescato dopo un paio di bicchieri di Ouzo e Retsina.

You're absolutely right...! It strikes me that it's not just these; Olympic Mascots throughout history do generally seem to be exercises in stupidity and devolution. Though after a sixth glass of Ouzo, Retsina, Grappa, Jenever... you name it ... it's hard to do anything but giggle at it all.
