Mascots Are Creepy

Many different companies are using mascots in all of their advertisements to help sell their product.  One of which is the gecko in the Geico commercials.  In the new Burger King commercials they use  "The King" as a comic to catch viewers attention. Many sports team also have mascots such as Wally, the green monster from the Red Soxs.  Most of the mascots are used in these commercial or live events for entertainment and comedy.  The comedy is for the adults, but children may also want the product without even knowing what it is because of the mascot.  Most younger kids would not care to go to a Red Sox game, but if you asked them if they wanted to see Wally, they would probably say yes to their parents.

Are mascots used to attract kids or give comedy to adults?
