    Default The new mascots for the 2012 Olympics

    From the masterminds that brought you the <i>wonderful</i> logo for the 2012 Olympics in London...



    I present to you their latest creations. The mascots for the London Olympics!



    Thoughts anyone?

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    First Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob is the logo, and now the mascots are one-eyed monsters? Oh come on.

    Not just a one-eyes monster, but a one-eyed monster wearing crotchless pants.

    The blue one even looks worried. Jeez. xD

    Shock and anger.

    Just like the rest of the world when they saw the logo.

    After the Beijing olympics, I guess the UK had to just not even try and just go for some penis humor, right? XD

    The Beijing Olympics' "Fuwa" were the best mascots out of the last 4 sets (I don't know where the Olympics were before Sydney... Barcelona?).
    These guys are as weird as those Athenian blobs from 2004.

    By the way, these one-eyed freaks are called Mandeville and Wenlock. I don't know if that's of any significance to Londonites, but the Sydney Olympic mascots were called Syd, Olly and Millie after Sydney, Olympics and Millenium, which made sense.

    Woah. How blatant can they get? Freaking Brits.

    I think they look quite cool actually, much better than the awful logo anyway.

    I doubt they'll be as good as Berlino though

    I liked the China Olympics pandas much more. At least they were adorable. These guys just look creepy.

    Oh, and yeah.. the Lisa Simpson thing is just hilarious xD

    Their names are the only good thing about them. They're actually named after British towns which had their own games (eg the Wenlock Games) that inspired the modern Olympics.
