Pinnochio as a mascot for the 2013 World Championship

[Zinoviev Letter]

This is truly amazing. Possibly the greatest thing in the history of the sport.

Someone needs to make a doll out of this. Push a button and you get various sentences:
"I have never doped."
"That stuff was 15 years ago."
"Everything is fine now."
"Cycling is the cleanest sport in the world."
etc.


And after each sentence the nose grows a little more.

 

[the sceptic]

Whoever wins should be required to put on a pinocchio mask on the podium

Yes and yes! The opportunities are endless, I couldn't think of better news right now.

Pat MCQuaid could play the role of Stromboli

Travis Tygart could play the role of Jiminy Cricket (afterall he urged the guilty cyclists to blow the whistle)

When you get in trouble
and you don't know right from wrong
give a little whistle, give a little whistle

When you meet temptation
and the urge is very strong
give a little whistle, give a little whistle

Not just a little squeak, pucker up and blow
and if your whistle is weak, yell

(Pinnochio)

Jiminy Cricket!

(Jiminy Cricket)

Right!

Take the strait and narrow path
and if you start to slide
give a little whistle, give a little whistle
and always let your conscience be your guide

Take the strait and narrow path
and if you start to slide
give a little whistle (yoo-hoo)
give a little whistle (yoo-HOO!)
and always let your conscience be your guide

(Pinnocchio)

And always let your conscience be your guide!

Whoever thought of this is a rare wit. Helmet could be swapped for a bar of soap IMHO.

 

[SocratesJohnson]

Maybe his nose should grow and shrink throughout the race/week as a kind of performance barometer

Oh dear, he isn't using glass, silly little puppet. I guess no-one told him about the plasticiser test, he better hope Uncle Pat is still running the show when those results come back...

This is hilarious. Kudos to the sly wit who agreed to making Pinocchio the mascot.

Bask in the glory while you can

The same guy made a mascot for a "Youth Assistance" phone line.....

Maybe bad taste in art direction will bring down the UCI leadership.

Otherwise, this is a hoax to rank alongside Piltdown man.
