Vancouver - Olympic Mascot Quatchi was seen departing his luxury downtown Vancouver condominium late afternoon today. Surrounded by reporters hungry for innuendo, Quatchi, escorted by his lawyer refused to comment on any sexual misconduct allegations as he made his quick get away, to what has been assumed as a meeting with IOC Attorney General Hans Jobbs.
Qautchi first came to fame in on 27 Nov 2007, during the unavailing of himself and two other Olympic mascots for the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. Quatchi was described as the shy and gentle Sasquatch with a long brown beard and blue earmuffs meant to conjure the mystery and wonder associated with Canada's wilderness. However, explicit pornographic images had arisen on the internet which have brought his character and role as Olympic mascot into question.
Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion along with other members of the opposition have called for an inquiry into the scandal alleging that the Conservative government was aware of the images prior to their unavailing and "tried to cover it up as part of their secret agenda". Prime Minister Stephen Harper in a rare moment of frustration was quoted in Question Period as saying, "Mr Speaker, can you please inform the Honorable member of the opposition that these are Fucken Mascots!!! We have a country to run here people, we are at a war in Afghanistan, our main trading partner and neighbor to the south is showing signs of an economic slowdown and the opposition wants an inquiry into the sexual misconduct of Mascots?"
Stéphane Dion later stated in the press gallery that he would lead an independent inquiry free from government intervention to get to the truth of the matter.
