One of the popular sports at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games was making fun of Canada. The Games’ organizers came under fire for the luge accident and technical difficulties at the opening ceremony, with the British press coming down especially hard on America’s Hat.

It’s nice to know that with the help of focus groups, the organizers decided there weren’t better symbols for children to learn about the spirit of the Olympics than a couple of one-eyed monsters.
