Pigsy For Olympics

The BBC has unveiled sample graphics from the cartoon opening sequence of its Olympics coverage, designed by Gorillaz boys Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. It features heroes from the classic Chinese tale Journey To The West: Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy. Here they are around Beijing's bedpan stadium. Pigsy is tucking into a hamburger! So much for promoting a healthy sporting lifestyle. The Olympics is a ridiculously overpriced way to keep couch potatoes entertained for a couple of weeks. For the rest of us, all that remains to be seen is which drug cheats cop it this year and which escape detection. And will the Muslim Council of Britain riot over the BBC's use of Pigsy? He's unislamic, Aunty. Tut, tut. Click the title link for more graphics.
