Okay, so I realize that this contest was for kids...but not only is the selection ridiculous looking, it's bordering on socially irresponsible:
1) FIRST OF ALL, the seagull looks like it's on drugs (and loving it might i add) with his "Drugs are A OK" hand signal
2) SECONDLY, he's holding a fish that everyone who saw it knows is gonna be devoured by this bird with a bad case of the munchies, and the fish's smile is disturbing (side note: if the fish looked more like Bill Gates, then you might be getting somewhere)
3) THIRDLY, the gull and the fish look a hell of a lot like that little Disney movie, and the Disney Law trolls might come after you. And even if they didn't, with plagiarism running rampant in our school systems, promoting such a blatant rip-off is negligent at best.
Okay, so let's recap...this mascot is endorsing drug usage, plagiarism...and savage consumption of your smiling prey...yep, sounds like an education program to me...OOooo...perfect.

The funny thing is just about anything can be exploited once it's created. In fact, most advances in technology are borne of the desire to exploit and the necessity to not be exploited. It's a constant work in progress, so kudos to the people that aren't so Nihilistic that they stop trying to create because of knowledge of how it can be used.
