2012 Olympic Mascots - Wenlock and Mandeville

[Philipnet]

I'm still trying to figure or which is which, and which event each is for???

The Canadian's seems to be loving it though:

Still bristling after negative reports of this year's Winter Olympics in Vancouver the Canadian press have united behind what they see as a chance to return the favour. Calgary's Herald opened the offensive, commenting: "London's creepy one-eyed Olympic mascots scare us. Especially the one with the blue stain on its crotch" (Mandeville), before joyously reporting that: "One kid on Twitter called the London mascots 'terror sperm'."

The National Post weighed in under the headline: "Who's laughing now, London?" referring to them as "walking alien penis creatures". This was a popular image, the Toronto Sun describing "terrifying penis monsters" and the Montreal Gazette warning: "If you've yet to see photos of the mascot couple ... Keep the young children away."

This was the imagery I was trying to avoid mentioning; like Lissa, Alpha Centauri came to my mind on seeing them...

Not too many great ones on B3ta, but I liked this.



Actually I've just gone off it now.

They're a bit like a rubbish Pete Fowler design. They should have go hime to design the mascots.

He'd have done much, much better than these things. Pete Fowler is awesome!

They remind me of those bizarre things from War of the Worlds for some reason... That's NOT a good thing...

[Stuart Wallis]

No - you shouldn't have done that! Now I have this vision of them marching round the Olylpic stadium screaming OOOO-LAAAAA! This is not a good thing either.
