If you Google the Euro 2016 mascot, you might find an X-rated alternative
The Euro 2016 football championship in France is off to an embarrassing start as it was revealed that their mascot shares its name with a sex toy.
People online looking to buy merchandise featuring Super Victor, a smiling boy with superpowers wearing a cape and the French team shirt, may find a sex toy available on Amazon and other sites instead.
This is what one of the possibilities for Super Victor looks like, if you really want to see it. It's definitely NSFW. (Warning: Graphic content.)

Cheeky.
