    The Most Terrifying Mascot In All Of Sports

    Is it a cotton ball? A marshmallow? Doesn't matter, this Canadian curling mascot will haunt your dreams.

    Here's "Scotties Little Softie," the official mascot of Canada's women's curling championships, during last year's tournament.

    For the uninitiated, Scotties is a brand of tissues sold in Canada.

    Why a tissue company requires its mascot to have lifeless, nightmare-inducing eyes is anyone's guess.

    And yet, here's Scotties Little Softie making yet another unwelcome appearance at today's curling championships. Good from far ...

    Up close, nightmares. Nothing but nightmares.

    Curling really is fantastic ...

    ... but Scotties Little Softie has got to go.
