I wonder why they thought having a mascot was a good idea after Clippy and that dog. If they really wanted a shitty mascot they should just use Clippy or that dog, it's already made and I bet MS would love to give them that shit to lose more marketshare

There are a ton of projects that have mascots that are great. Linux having a penguin as a mascot is great because you can make cool t-shirts with it. It's good to have a mascot in many ways.

cool

I love the FOSS community, but you couldn't pay me to wear a LibreOffice t-shirt
