Not-so-New Year Resolution
Spaceman-Spiff February 11th, 2010
I don’t really believe in making new year’s resolutions. When my friends or coworkers ask what my new year’s resolution is, I always answer “I got none”. I think it’s pointless.

Michael photoshopped Pedobear into the Vancouver Mascot team drawing. It’s a pretty good and believeable Photoshop work:
Some of the blog’s visitors also participated and made more photoshopped images and pictures:
I for one, welcome Pedobear as our 4th mascot.
