After few misses, Sravanthi Ravikishore is on cloud nine with the hit talk of his latest "Ready". With his consecutive flops which started off with the film 'Ela Cheppanu' in 2003, followed by 'Gowri', 'Premante Inthe' and 'Classmates', no doubt he hit the bulls-eye with "Ready" after almost 5 years. Yes! This film has boosted him so much so that he is planning yet another film with Ram, who

The Fuwa which means "good luck dolls" in Chinese are the official mascots for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. The cute Fuwa group consists of five members according to the traditional five elements: Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini. Each of the five names is designed to look like a plausible name for a small child, while also achieving a more complex task: when the first syllable of each name is put together, it sounds nearly identical to the phrase "北京欢迎你 Běijīng huānyíng nǐ" which means "Beijing welcomes you".Two of the five mascots represent members of endangered species – Jingjing the giant panda and Yingying the Tibetan antelope. The other two, Huanhuan and Nini, represent the Olympic flame and the swallow respectively. Each of the five figures also

Yupe! Everyone has their own Entrecard right? If not get your here right now! Some create theirs with their self-portrait; some exploits cute girl or sexy lady; others prefer bizarre stuff from zombie (I wanted to use this too) to plant. But for my entrecard, I really would love to have Flocke as my mascot. Why? Because this little girl (Flocke) reflects what live is!Isn't she adorable? Who is Flocke? Well...Flocke is a polar bear cub who was born in captivity at the Nuremberg Zoo in Nuremberg, Germany on 11 December 2007. Keepers took Flocke away from her mother, Vera, last week after she grew restless and kept dropping the five-week-old cub on the hard rock floor of her enclosure. Already under fire after another of its polar bears (Vilma) ate her own two cubs days before, the zoo did

Continuing with part of two of series of posts counting down to the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. The 200 day countdown post spoke about all the work China is putting into these games as well as my expectations for team Jamaica. Now with 150 days to go I will post information about the 5 2008 Olympic games mascots as requested by Leon.
There are 5 mascots representing the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, one for each of the five Olympic rings and also the five elements of nature according to Chinese customs - sea, forest, fire, earth and sky. They are called "Fuwa" and they carry a message of friendship and peace from China to the world. Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Jingjing is the Panda, Nini is the Swallow, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Beibei is the Fish. Each o
About DagoyDagoy is towering six feet and nine inches tall, three-dimensional mascot that has evolved from just a mere icon. His birth is a product of imagination and desire, not just by a single person but also of people who are working diligently to make the Dinagyang festival a part of everyone's day-to-day life.Iloilo Dinagyang Foundation Inc. (IDFI) Executive Director Ben Jimena related that the mascot now is the once caricature used by the marketing group headed by Francis de la Cruz as a promo material. This happened in 2002, the first time time the festival was handled by the foundation.Chris Bayani, an artist from Manila, drawing inspiration from his adopted daughter, delicately prepared a sketch of the icon that was later made as the official logo of the festival. His faces then
I went to a small highschool with the one and only Ras. We didn't have any field for sports and our teams usually sucked Most of my school friends and I majored in drinking alcohol and smoking weed. Our school mascot was a gerbal and we didn't have any cheerleaders. I remember i tried out for the JV baseball team and made it. I beat out a few geeks and a guy in a wheelchair. Our coach was optimistic but we knew we stunk even before our baseball seaaon started. Our practices were held in a a city park near our school that was a hotbed for drugs and prostitution. It explains why our coach was missing in action half the time. It's hard enough catching a line drive while a hooker performs a service on your third base coach. We were 0 and 10 when our manager decided we need some inspiration. He brought in Fitness guru Richard Simmons to try and motivate us. All it did was make us worse and our Dear mascot went missing. Poor lil guy must of thought he was going to fudge heaven. Anyway, we
Back in November we informed you about a contest to name the new masct for the Philadelphia Phillies' new Triple A affiliate, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The winning name, PorkChop, has caused complaints from several local Hispanics prompting a quick change to the new name."Here in the Lehigh Valley, the name for Puerto Ricans was pork chop and in particular in areas like the steel company and Mack Truck," said Guillermo Lopez, a Bethlehem Steel Corp. worker for 25 years. "I was called pork chop in the workplace," reported The Express-Times in Allentown."If my parents were alive, they'd be having fits," said Lopez, among those who complained to the team. "It meant much more to them than it does to Puerto Ricans now in the Lehigh Valley."PorkChop had been submitted by 32 fans. The replacement name, Ferrous - from the Latin word "ferrum," or iron - received the most fan nominations, with 235.And to think they passed on my entry; Link Hogthrob.Related:"PorkChop" Mascot Inflames Pa.

Spike the Super Ball is a promotional mascot schemed up by the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee in attempts to hype up local fans for Super Bowl XLII (as if more hype is necessary). However, the committee's super cool; wobbly mascot has been forced to change its name due to the 'Super Ball' part of its moniker coming dangerously close to copyright infringement on the NFL term 'Super Bowl.' Committee President, Bob Sullivan, honored the NFL's request while understanding the importance of brand identity.Sullivan said the NFL's request, which came Wednesday, is a lesson in the power of the NFL brand and what the league does to protect it. “We've spent 42 years developing the Super Bowl,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Thursday. “As any good keeper of a brand, we have to protect it.”So the mascot is now known as "Team Captain Spike," and it takes these types of power plays to remind me why when I host a Super Bowl Party I don't refer to it as such. I usually dub the an
At least one fowl will escape certain death during this Thanksgiving month as Clemson University has cancelled their annual effigial flaming of rival South Carolina mascot, Cocky. "Big Thursday" is an historic pep rally held prior to the rivalry game between Clemson and South Carolina in which both teams' events are highlighted with the burning of their opponent's mascot. Clemson has decided to eliminate the usual "Big Thursday" from this year's celebration due to a tragic North Carolina beach house fire which took the lives of six USC students and one Clemson classmate.In place of “Big Thursday,” the school will hold “Fowl Fest” at 7 p.m. Thursday on the lawn of the school president’s home.USC is unsure about its annual “Tiger Burn” event, scheduled for next week outside the Colonial Center, according to school officials. A decision will be made later this week.Related:Clemson’s mascot burn canceled due to N.C. fire [The State.com]

It’s down to 4 teams - Cleveland, Boston, Colorado and Arizona for the right to call themselves 2007 Major League Baseball World Champions.
Thought I might profile the 4 team mascots…
The Cleveland Indians mascot is a pink heffalump called Slider. Birthdate is July 29, 1990. Origins unknown, he lives between homeplate and the teams dugout. Loves Popcorn, Hot Dogs, and Pizza and Strawberry Shakes. Supposedly hangs out with best buddy mascots Billy the Marlin (Florida), Philly Phanatic (Philadelphia), The Moose (Seattle), Slugerrr (Kansas City), Dinger (Colorado) and Pirate Parrot (Pittsburgh) in the off season. I’m not sure how they came up with Slider as his appearance has absolutely no relation to baseball or anything associated with Cleveland. Not my personal favorite but he seems a hit with the kids.
Wally the Green Monster is the official mascot for the Boston Red Sox Major League Baseball team. Born on April 13, 1997, he lives in the famous 37 foot wall calle
Ernie, the cute pup featured in our logo is still looking for a home!Is he cute, or what? Ernie, a young Straffordshire Bull Terrier, is a sweet boy who loves to cuddle! His foster mom says he has quite the delightful personality. He's happy, but not hyper, and gets along great with non-alpha dogs and cats too!He would do best in a home without small children. Like many big dogs, he may bump a little kiddo over without meaning to. He will need a fenced yard.Ernie loves to go for walks, and walks well on a leash - even on the busy Monon Trail! He's crate trained and housebroken. He sleeps in his crate at night, but can be left alone without being crated during the day. Ernie likes the two cats that live with him. When the cats hiss, he gets scared and jumps in his foster mom’s lap!Ernie is being cared for by a foster family associated with the Southside Animal Shelter (that's my shelter) in Indianapolis, Indiana.Click here for more information about Ernie!
With the Chiefs down 10-6 to the Vikings and a little over 13 minutes left to go KC appeared to be headed to a dreadful 0-3 start this past Sunday. But then the most unusual of events unfolded to seemingly breath life back into the team. A fan ran onto the field and was corralled by security guards and the Chiefs mascot, KC Wolf. Once the fan was taken down to the grass by security KC Wolf applied the best hit of the season: a belly flop onto the idiotic fan and then rolled up his sleeves and flexed for the ignited crowd. The Chiefs players were also inspired by the mascot's brand of justice and the Chiefs rallied back to win 13-10. Related:Chiefs get momentum from mascot’s tackle [Kansas City Star]
I think KC Wolf should win that insufferable ad campaign/contest for the mascots by that credit card company that I won't name simply for this tackle he lays on a idiot fan who ran on to the field on Sunday. (Video courtesy Arrowhead Pride)Now the real question becomes, can he take the Oregon Ducks mascot who laid a beatdown on the Houston Cougars mascot last week?

The Los Angeles Kings have announced a new entertainment addition to their organization by anointing "Bailey" -- a 6-foot lion -- as their new mascot. Bailey will make its on-ice debut during the team's home opener at STAPLES Center on Oct. 6. The Los Angeles Kings named the kid-friendly lion in remembrance of Garnet "Ace" Bailey.Bailey was named in honor of the late Garnet “Ace” Bailey -- who served as the Kings’ Director of Pro Scouting for seven years; spent 32 seasons in the NHL as a player (he played left wing for Boston, Detroit, St. Louis and Washington) or scout, and had seven Stanley Cup rings. In addition to his successful hockey career, Ace was known not only for his warm and fun-loving personality but also for his love and work with children’s charities.Related:KINGS UNVEIL NEW MASCOT [LAKings.com]
Aarti Chhabria is a lucky mascotAarti Chabbria is still continuing her work in films albeit in a different manner! The actress has made a special appearance in quite a few films of late, and co-incidentally they all have gone to be superhits at the box office. First was her cameo in David Dhawan’s Partner, and next came an appearance in Sajid Khan’s Heyy Babyy. But ask her about full fledged roles, and Shashi Ranjan’s Dhoom Dhadaka is what she is looking forward to, she says. Currently in Bangkok shooting for the film, Aarti tells us that she is having a dhoom dhadaka time there.

Branding is all about pulling prospects to you (or your product) with an emotional connection… We’re moved by great brands; great brands are movements. The Culting of Brands is a great book on this subject.
Corporate Brands force this emotional connection: After all, it take mighty marketing mavens to have us fall in love with what is really a multi-national, multi-billion-dollar, conglomerate. But we do.
Personal Brands, on the other hands, have natural emotional connections. We are a naturally inspired, moved, and are attracted to other people. As we start focusing on what makes our character and charisma distinctive, we immediately differentiate our competency. As we focus on a community to which we can relate, we naturally dev
NI-Limits have decided that the temporary penguin we had been borrowing from KLews as their company mascot was simply not hot enough for us any longer, even though he was pretty cool, he was perhaps a little too cool, and not hot or funky as they would have liked.
What with the difficulties he has been having with the heat and all the crazy AJAX work they have been doing, they are going to return him to his owners in January of 2008, and give him some much needed rest.

The Nazi SS had a "mascot" back during the World War II days - a 6-year-old orphaned boy who was pictured in newsreels of the time as "the Reich's youngest Nazi," and even paraded before the Führer who hailed him as an upstanding example to German youth. There was just one tiny snag in this cozy little tale: The boy, named Alex Kurzem, happened to be Jewish... Mr. Kurzem is now 71 and living in Melbourne, Australia, and only now, after more than 60 years, has he told his story in a book, The Mascot, authored by his son.

Telugu actor Srihari is turning out to be the lucky mascot of Telugu Cinema. The recent hit “Dhee” ran on the strength of Srihari’s presence. earlier too the films “Nuvvostanante Nenoddantaanaa..” and “Mahanandi” ran on the presence of Srihari and so now producers are looking at Srihari not just as a good performer but also as a lucky mascot, and in this respect he has another film. He has “Viyyala Vari Kayyalu” and one other film with Raja lined up. Viyyala Vari kayyalu is scheduled to release soon with Uday Kiran.

Over at The Sneeze, Steve asks, “If you were driving cross-country, and were forced to bring a breakfast cereal mascot - who would it be?”
My favorites:
Tony the Tiger - Bad idea. Irritatingly upbeat and loud.
Likely dialogue:
“This interstate is GRRREAT! Look at that corn field! It’s GREEAT! You have cupholders?? THEY’RE GRRREAT! You’re pulling over?! GRREAT!”
“Get out.”
“GRRREAT!”
… and:
Sugar Bear - Mellow. Cool. Overall, not a terrible choice.
Cons: Might sleep a lot and not chip in for gas.
Pros: Smooth with the ladies. Could get you laid.
I have to agree with Steve and say I’d probably take Cap’n Crunch. Who would you choose?

As we have mentioned previously, The Jaunt was not too big on the gritty Steelers adopting a mascot prior to this season. However, that choice seems a hell of a lot wiser than the team's recent choice of the actual name for the mascot. After mulling over approximately 70,000 entries from fans, the organization decided to go with the name that sounded most like that of a gay porn star. Steely McBeam.The name was submitted by Diane Roles of Valencia, who receives a VIP package for four to the Steelers' Sept. 16 home opener against the Buffalo Bills. She will also get an authentic Steelers throwback helmet and jersey, just like those that will be worn by the team that day. Are you kidding me? Aww man, I just flat out feel bad for those old school; die hard Steelers fans who don't even want this goofy mascot in the first place. The fans really got it up the ass on this one. More on this when we overview/preview the Pittsburgh Steelers toward the end of August.Related:Catching up with th
Yes, the headline reads like a narrative cartoon word balloon. But an incident involving the Mariner Moose and Red Sox fielder, Coco Crisp could have been a serious issue.The Moose was starting his routine that involved the ATV in front of the Red Sox dugout. As Crisp took the field, the Moose pulled forward and clipped the Boston outfielder on the leg. Crisp fell to the ground, but quickly regained his footing and went on his way to his position in center field. "It hit me, not flush, but it hit me," Crisp good-naturedly explained. "I didn't see it. I just heard it and I jumped back. I'm sure he didn't mean to take me out."Obviously this brings up the story of the Tennessee Titans mascot, T-Rac, and his calculated golf cart homicide attempt on Adrian McPherson, then-Quarterback of the New Orleans Saints. The ex-Saint actually filed a lawsuit seeking $15 million in punitive damages. The criminally insane mascot pictured here attempting to abduct a young fan. RIGHT in front of the pa
There is a sad story being told of a man attempting to become the official mascot of the Chicago Cubs. And by 'sad' I, of course mean 'pathetically psycho.' The furry little creature goes by the name of Billy Cub, and he has spent a lot of time and money on his whimsical alter ego. All Billy Cub wants is to be able to entertain his fellow die-hard Cubbie fans, but the big baddies at Wrigley do not allow costumed fans into the ballpark. Therefore, Billy Cub is forced to hob-knob with fans outside of the park. The following is the background story according to Billy Cub's web site:Billy Cub lives in the magical land of Belonore Ivy. One day Billy is out playing catch with his father and a lost dog walks by looking for his ball. Billy decides he will help Walter, the lost dog, find his ball. The task seams easy as Billy gathers many of his friends to help. The young animals discover that the evil Shadow Crows have taken Walter’s ball. The Shadow Crows are feared by all animals of B
The strangest mascot in professional baseball may belong to the Camden Riversharks of the Atlantic League. Nobody remembers exactly why he was created seven years ago, but his name is Mr. Trash and he…well….he picks up trash.
“When the music fades, Mr. Trash whips out a plastic garbage bag - as if producing a dove from thin air. Then, as if that needed topping, he proceeds. To. Pick. Up. Trash. Slowly. He goes fan to fan, collecting mustard-smeared wrappers and empty cups.”
A now 22 year-old man from New Jersey has played Mr. Trash since his inception, a Lou Gehrig-like streak when considering the short tenure of most mascots. Over that time he has undoubtedly taught numerous youngsters the importance of waste disposal. Now he just has to find a way to clean up the rest of New Jersey like has cleaned the Rivershark’s stadium.
The Jaunt is sorry to report that Louisiana State University's long-time mascot, Mike The Tiger, died early this morning.Mike V was born October 19, 1989, and has been at LSU since he was four months old.

Over the past 75 years the Pittsburgh Steelers have been a gritty, blue-collar football team that accurately reflected the city that holds them in such in high regard. A long history of tradition and pride under the stern watch of Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and the Rooney family.Unselfish on the field no one player was ever above the black and gold. Even with all their success the historic franchise has avoided the gimmicks that would take away from their strength in simplicity. No flashy logo, a simple uniform, only one retired number, and no dopey mascot running around on the sidelines.Well, not anymore. There's now a cheesy Steelers mascot that looks very much like a yellow version of Thing from the Fantastic Four (if he ever decided to use his powers to save the ailing American steel industry).There will be a contest to name the mascot.

Just a day after paying homage to the loss of the Dallas Cowboys' Super Fan, The Jaunt is sad to report the passing of another great NFL character as the Miami Dolphins' 'Dolphan Denny' succumbed to kidney failure and cancer.Those tight, white shorts remained in his closet Saturday, along with nearly 10 sets of those gaudy trademark outfits that made Dennis Sym so recognizable along the sidelines at Dolphins games for 34 years. For the man known more commonly to fans as ''Dolfan Denny,'' Sym's passion for his favorite football team never faded after his retirement as the team's unofficial mascot in 2000. Only his health did. On Friday, ''Dolfan Denny'' died at 72.Our condolences to the friends and families associated with both Dennis Sym and Ray Jones.Related:`Dolfan Denny,' unofficial mascot
Another member of the Indiana Pacers organization is in legal trouble. This time it's the most unlikely suspect of all, the mascot.A fan who was asked to participate in a free-throw shooting contest during a time out, was tackled afterwards by Boomer -- the Pacers feline mascot -- as a gag. But the fan is claiming his back, which recently had undergone surgery, was injured and has filed a lawsuit.Rumors of Ron Artest being inside the costume are unconfirmed.Related:Indystar
Providence College and the University of Rhode Island have a history of tension. However, the aggression has now spilled over to include the Rhode Island mascot, Rhody Ram. The individual behind the guise was assaulted on his way out of the bathroom. URI President Robert Carothers reported,"He was coming out of the bathroom, and he was speared. A guy ran and put his head right up under his ribs, running, and so he knocked the wind out of him and his ribs were bruised. He wasn't hurt badly. But it was the general tone of what was happening there" This is one rivalry we can get behind. When fans start using the mascot's own moves against it, that is just pure tactical genius. Imagine the possibilities. A crazed fan sticks a pitch fork up the Blue Devil's ass...a shameless spectator lifts his leg and pisses on Smokey the dog. Good times.Related:Ram Mascot Attacked At Game
Dating back to Thanksgiving Day 1916, a living steer was introduced as the University of Texas mascot. Ninety years and 14 steer later, they are all being featured in a new museum opening today at Royal-Memorial Stadium. When they were first brought to the University, the mascots were given the name "Bevo" which to this day nobody seems completely sure how this name came about. In the new museum, there will be a "Bevo Walk of Fame" paved with silver plaques representing each mascot.Related:Bevo museum opens at UT stadiumHistory of Bevo

An excellent idea by Kraft Foods to advertise at the GQ 2006 event!Some Marshmallow History:"Marshmallow candy dates back to ancient Egypt where it was a honey-based candy flavored and thickened with the sap of the root of the Marsh-Mallow plant (althea officinalis). Marsh-Mallow grows in salt marshes and on banks near large bodies of water. It is common in the eastern United States. Until the mid 1800's, marshmallow candy was made using the sap of the Marsh-Mallow plant. Gelatin replaces the sap in the modern recipes."Today's marshmallows are a mixture of corn syrup or sugar, gelatin, gum arabic and flavoring.
