Is it just me, or does anyone else find the EDF energy mascot to be strangely reminiscent of a nipped-off turd?

For those of you not sure what I'm on about, here it is in all its freshly curled glory:

I think it's mostly the top of its head that makes me think its fresh from a nipsy. I'm not alone here, right?

Man that thing's all over the place at work (unsurprisingly).

It's actually made by the people who created the keepon dancing robots https://beatbots.net/

Looking at this and the london 2012... things, what is it with mascots that are just blobs with eyes recently? Has there been a designers strike?

Go to lunch at client's expense, take a picture of whatever the saucier has spunked on your £50 plate, draw eyes on it, job done.

I imagine that it's a field that you only get into if you need a dictionary to remember the meaning of either word in "work ethic".

TBF I don't envy the job of whoever had to come up with Wensleydale and Mandelbrot. Some poor graphic designer drew up great characters, his proudest work, handed it over to Seb Coe and his committee who said "Ooh, that high-five pose could be a bit contentious towards our Elbonian friends who consider it a bit rude. Can you make them a bit more soulless and corporate? " for fifteen cycles until all you have left is personality-defunct dross that some primary-school kid could have farted into a bucket during afternoon playtime.

Working for EDF, we all call it the EDF Turd... in fact it was one of the boys from the welding team who coined it about 2-3 months ago!

A few months ago, we all discovered we had Zingy on our desks, so we decided to personalise it. I turned mine into Kenny McCormack! And the other Zingy I have, I turned him into a gormless mong.

And people buy them and switch providers jsut to get one, there was even a thread on here

I think it's a clever pun by marketing guys "Give them any old shit with eyes on it and they'll buy it, dumbass consumers"
