Uefa finally address the fact Euro 2016 mascot shares its name with a massive sex toy

Dirty little secret

Euro 2016 has an official mascot that is NSFW to Google.

The mascot, called Super Victor, looks very innocent on first glance. It is a young boy with superpowers donning a cape and he features on a lot of the merchandise and promos for the tournament.

However, anyone hoping to purchase some of the products featuring Super Victor are in for a massive shock (that’s shock) when they search for his name online. Some search results will be products featuring the tournament mascot, but a lot of them will be of what can only be described as a monstrous-looking sex toy which, coincidentally, is also called ‘Super Victor’.

Amazingly, Uefa has been forced to deny that they produce any sex toys after the link between their mascot and the sexual aid emerged.

A Uefa spokesman told the Guardian

“All we can say is that they [the sex toys] are not produced by UEFA.”

The mascot was unveiled in November 2014, but was only given its unfortunate name after Super Victor won a public vote. The other names in the running were Driblou and Goalix.

Time to file this under yet another reason to never decide anything by means of an online poll.
