Real or fiction?

"The Mascots are the world's first customisable mascots. They were formed from the last two drops of steel poured in a Bolton Steelworks to form the final girder of the 2012 stadium."

When one reaches this text, it's not very clear if it's referring to a fictional story about the characters or to some physical realisation of them. 86.173.169.144 (talk) 03:33, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT? Seriously, WHY is that line in the article?? This is an encyclopedia, not a cereal box. Jack mcdowell (talk) 05:45, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest tagging the article with {{Unencyclopedic}} until someone bothers to fix it Jack mcdowell (talk) 05:48, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That line has been changed in the article since the above user made that comment. The story is still there, but it's referenced and in context. -- role^player 20:00, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Girder or Pipe?

The article says that they formed from pieces of a girder, but the animation clearly shows a pipe. I can't change it, because original research and all, but why does the article say girder? Tyrannophobe (talk) 01:37, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The two videos' narration clearly states that it is a girder, also a pipe to the Olympic stadium makes less sense and is less symbolic.82.5.224.82 (talk)
