When Mascots go off

For some time, I have seriously despised what the marketroids have done to Coco, the familiar cartoon character who for years has promoted the consumption of chocolate flavoured rice bubbles.

While Googling for images of more approachable Cocos past, I found this blog entry which both has the images involved, and expresses part of my disdain.

The other part is that the modern Coco looks evil. It’s not so much the overstylised and oversimplified linework, it’s the teeny, slanting, almond-eyes. This is a Coco who spikes your obesity fodder with glass, I’ll bet. (Evidently death by insulin coma isn’t quick enough for the little simian.)
