Though China has five Olympic mascots (”The Fuwa”), several others never made it past the drawing board.

A Blogadilla exclusive: rejected Chinese Olympic mascots.

Maomao - Lil’ Mao Zedong.

Melmel - The Melamine Cat.

I take pleasure in knowing that I’d be shot for doing this if I lived in China.

“Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” (Loren Bouchard, H. Jon Benjamin) - perhaps one of the funniest shows ever to air on [adult swim]. Already done with its first season, and perhaps already done with its last season - it looks like [adult swim] may not pick “Lucy” up for a second season. Perhaps because it is a little too controversial at times: DJ Jesus (the second coming) and his love interest Lucy (the Daughter of the Devil) live the 20-something hipster life with their friend Judas, while Lucy’s father makes regular attempts to overtake the world. Plus a never-ending supply of priest jokes.

The credits of “Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” are funnier than an entire season of “Family Guy.”

Last April, British supermarket chain Tesco removed a model of padded bra from their shelves.

It was designed for 7-to-10-year-olds.

A Tesco representative said:
“It is a product designed for girls at that self-conscious age when they are just developing. It is designed to cover up, not flatter, and was developed after speaking to parents.”

Vintage footage of professional jackass Bill O’Reilly having a conniption fit (during the shooting of an episode of “Inside Edition”) has made its way around the interwebs in recent weeks.

Honestly, I would be more surprised to see footage of him not acting like a d!ck.

Behold the brilliant Barely Political “unseen footage” edit of the O’Reilly pants-pooping:

Today I took this picture of a Starbucks . . .
FROM INSIDE A STARBUCKS ACROSS THE STREET!!!

San Francisco. 100 block of Battery Street near California Street.

I’m too cool to patronize a Starbucks, so let’s say I was in there to use the bathroom.

The Blogadilla Starbucks Challenge:
I will send a free Blogadilla T-shirt (when we get them made in the next month or so) to the first person who can send us a photograph with three separate Starbucks coffeeshops appearing in it.

Contest rules:
• Kiosks do not count, must be a full-fledged coffeeshop.

• They must be three separate Starbucks coffeeshops.

• You cannot use Photoshop, etc. - the photo must be untouched and all three must be clearly visible.

• It must be one photo, no panoramas (but send them anyway), or fish-eye lens shots.

• The photo must be yours and taken by you (not taken from a website, etc.).

• You must provide the specific addresses of the three Starbucks locations.

Over a decade ago I was a junior high teacher. Being the Spanish teacher, the students didn’t know me as “Mr. King,” but as “Señor Rey.”

Early in the school year I confiscated a note being passed around - it was a drawing of me with a gigantic forehead. I was losing my hair at the time and in Bruce Willis fashion my forehead was getting larger. The students laughed loudly when I saw the picture and I asked, “My forehead doesn’t really look like this, does it?!?” The students assured me of the cyclopean proportions of my forehead, and that indeed my head was shaped like a brick.

For the remainder of the school year, any time I would turn my back to the class, another Señor Rey forehead illustration would be slipped onto my desk. I made it clear that I thought it was funny, and the humor was always kept at a sane level, and at least they weren’t trashing my car.

Here is a gallery of a few of (the hundreds of) drawings I received throughout the school year:

I was excited to stumble across the custom printed M&Ms site - print your own stuff on an M&M.

The potential for evil made my head spin.

Sadly, their list of Dos and Don’ts shut-down all of my juvenile M&M fantasies.

Consider this: their list of Dos and Don’ts had to be made because people tried these following stunts:

•“Please don’t use obscenities.”

•“No business names, product names, celebrity names, . . . landmarks, and names of schools or institutions.”

•” . . . we will not print any reference to drugs or prescription items . . .”

•” . . . the only single letter we print on our candy is the letter M.”

Once again, technology is put to good use: Atlanta bar owner Rufus Terrill has created the anti-vagabond “Bum Bot 2000.“

It has a 2,000,000 candlepower floodlight and a water cannon capable of 200 lbs of pressure. The object of this robot is to chase away vagrants, prostitutes, and pushers in his neighborhood. Many of Terrill’s targets are the “sort of people” drawn to a local emergency homeless shelter - he hopes to let them know they aren’t welcome to plague his public streets anymore. The camera feed on the Bum Bot 2000 is projected onto a big screen TV in Terrill’s bar, so patrons can watch prostitutes and hoboes get sprayed with water. This unstoppable security droid may have only one weakness, that hopefully the swarthy homeless will never discover: pushing it over.

Suggestions for a better name for this robot:
•Hobotron 2000
•The Roomba Wet T-Shirt Machine
•BumFighter X1
•Bigot-tron 4000
•The Hobo Soaker
•Go-Starve-Somewhere-Else-O-Matic
•The Hookernator
•Ho-Bot
•D!ckhead with a Watergun 9000

I want to invent “Drunkbot 3000″: it will regularly cover the floor of Terrill’s bar in vomit.
