Olympics again - mascots seen as signs of times

I posted a little something a couple of days (weeks?) ago about the 2012 Olympics and how its being used to spread the 2012 doomsday theory. Now, a new theory has surfaced about the Olympics’ mascots and it is once again totally ridiculous. The theory tries to link China’s earthquake disaster and other recent catastrophes with the Olympics mascots. smh.com.au published an article about it and here’s the theory:

The five Olympic mascots are Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, Nini and Beibei. Jingjing, a panda, is the animal most closely associated with Sichuan province where the earthquake struck.

Huanhuan, a cartoon character with flame-red hair, is being linked by bloggers to the Olympic torch that has been dogged by anti-China protests on its round-the-world tour.

Yingying, an antelope, is an animal confined to the borders of Tibet, which has been the scene of riots and the cause of international protests against China, the bloggers say.

Nini, represented by a kite, is being viewed as a reference to the “kite city” of Weifang, in Shandong, where there was a deadly train crash last month.

That leaves only Beibei, represented by a sturgeon fish, which online doomsayers suggest could indicate a looming disaster in the Yangtze River, the only place where sturgeon is found.
