I like the idea, even though personally I don't care that much. I think the phrase "being lazy with class" could be put into the design of a mascot. For Haskell (forgive me for that term) marketing purposes a mascot would definitely help. But I think, despite the well-founded denotational semantics of Haskell, bottom does not play that much of a role.
