They look like they might have gotten run over a couple times, but the Vancouver medals look pretty cool, I guess.

From the press release:
"The medals, revealed today, each feature a different crop of larger contemporary Aboriginal artworks and are undulating rather than flat -- both firsts in Games history. The dramatic form of the Vancouver 2010 medals is inspired by the ocean waves, drifting snow and mountainous landscape found in the Games region and throughout Canada. The Olympic medals are circular in shape, while the Paralympic medals are a superellipse, or squared circle."

What do you think? Do they look good? Or are they just weird?

Must say, even though they're for the Winter games, I bet Michael Phelps could use them to...you know...roll his own...

Looks like a penny after putting it on the train track and letting the train run over it.

Definitely unique. Definitely weird. But regardless, I'd be happy to have one around my head. Or one to send to CASH4GOLD.com.

These medals were made in Canada.  The cultivation of marijuana is legal in Canada.  Coincidence?  I think not.

That's a great gig to be a abstract artist.  It's beyond critique.

Ummm, no, the cultivation of Marihuana is not legal, not by the average joe.  It is possible to get a cultivation license, but it isn't easy to do.  Just as my neighbors who tried to do it without the license.

And I'm Canadian, and I do not like the medals at all.
