Most of us are destined to be spectators


NEWS RELEASE

The cartooniverse tried but failed to field a team for the 2012 Olympic games. No sooner did the team receive their foreign-designed and manufactured uniforms, they discovered none of their practiced events are offered at the Olympics. However, the team is not bitter that the Olympic organization only recognizes obsessive-compulsive physical prowess fueled by rank commercialism. Team Captain, Judge Knott said, “Because there seems to be a strong fashion element to the Olympics, we thought our unique designer uniforms would be worth something.” He was upbeat when asked about what they would do next. “At least we got some new clothes to wear on Halloween or weddings or other special occasions.” The team agreed to model their ‘pinstripe/tie-dye’ uniforms before returning to their beer and couches to watch the events. The team members' specialties are listed above their pictures.
