Mascot

The Resume

    ( -October 1, 2000)
    Born in Sydney, Australia
    Mascots of the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics
    Olly is a kookaburra
    Syd is a platypus
    Millie is an echidna
    Olly is named after the Olympics, Syd after Sydney and Millie after the Millennium
    Created by Matt Hatton and Jozef Szekeres

Why they might be annoying:

    They're not really the cutest of mascots.
    They were constantly mocked by Australian comedy team Roy and HG.
    Their mockery of the trio included their creation of Fatso the Fat-Arsed Wombat.
    A kookaburra, platypus and echidna? Can you think of any other species more undeserving of being mascots?

Why they might not be annoying:

    They are of wild species unique to Australia.
    To go along with being in Fatso's shadow, they also had to deal with names from Roy and HG like 'Ollie, Syd and Dickhead.'
    Olly represents the Olympic spirit of generosity, Syd represents the environment and energy of the people of Australia and Millie represents the new millennium.
    Despite being overshadowed by Fatso, they held their dignity.
