Another embarrassment for Britain. The state of the logo is bad enough ...
I think I might hibernate in 2012 or spend the entire time cringing.

That's the first thing I thought when I first saw them. What do those things represent exactly?? |

And why are they cyclops?
Those are severely embarrassing.
=========================
From an article:
Wenlock and Mandeville.
Those are the names of the wacky new mascots unveiled in London on Wednesday for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games.
The London organizers said the one-eyed creatures -- who kind of look like a cross between Muno from "Yo Gabba Gabba" and a cellphone -- are supposed to help inspire kids to get involved with Olympic sports.
=============
I'm going to show these to my kids and get their opinions. I'm guessing they won't be inspired to get involved with Olympic sports.

Cat: I don't like them
Aidan: I like them
Do they make you want to be involved in Olympic sports?
Cat: no
Aidan: kind of
When I said they were the mascots Aidan said "seriously?" |
