has anyone else seen our Oyympic Mascots for 2012? Can't we do anything right? Look like a pair of deformed Power Rangers
or a pair of Novelty Condoms

and they probley paid 100,000 of £'s for them to be designed.

at the Sydney Olympics, the Australians got so peed off with their offical mascots they created their own

perhaps we should do the same.

Yup, I'd would like to know how much of tax payers money went into creating those 'things'.
I think they'd even look tacky on a Blake's-7 set.
What ever happened to the UKs better known mascots - Lardy-Arse and ASBO ?
Does anyone else think we should rename this site Cynics4all? ;)

considering that the Official Olympic Logo cost us £400,000 to design, and was woefully bad....
OMG... What a joke, did we the tax payer get any say in the choice ???
Exactly what are these things supposed to be?? (http://wscdn.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/assets/images/2010/05/20/100520150106_olympic_mascot_466x262_afp.jpg)
Theyre based on drops of molten steel from the girders that went in to the Olympic site and theyre called Mandeville and Wenlock, the 2 towns that inspired the Olympic and Paralympic bids. What theyve got to do with London Ive no idea. They look to me like refugees from the teletubbies.

Think that explains it a little more ...
I think kids will love them, and if the merchandising offsets the cost, all well and good. I also think it's great that the paralympics are being given a high, equal profile by having their own mascot.
Other half thought they looked rather rude ??? ;D
I was listening to Micheal Ball on radio 2 last week & he said he thought they looked like "aliens willies" . His words not mine lol. Well they aint as bad as the lisa simpson logo for the olympics, some1 should really have had a good look @ the logo b4 it was approved!
They look just as daft as the Canadian ones and I thought they were stupid too..but they made millions for the cause.
