> Those green guys were just bizarre. I loved the idea - there was a group representing each of the colours/world areas of the Olympic rings. The other groups did look sufficiently African, Asian, American and Oceanic (dig those Maori guys in tattoos and blue plastic, hehehe), but whoever designed the greenies obviously thought Europe is populated mainly by Martians from 1950s B movies.

The colors of the rings represent the five areas of the world? I'd always been told that the five ring colors plus the white background were the most common flag colors of the world.
