Yeah... Atlanta's Izzy wasn't good, but I'd rank Izzy slightly ahead of the British cyclopses (plural spelling?). At least London didn't choose some tacky blue sheep.

Wasn't Izzy an overgrown toothpaste tube? These new guys are kinda weird, but not really any worse than others. They're supposed to represent the digital world, and their eyes are cameras.

You'd be angry too if you looked like that all the time...
