Here they are… Wenlock and Mandeville. Seriously.
I… I don’t even have words. I look at them and I’m just sort of disturbed and depressed at the same time. It’s as though all the hope for humanity’s future has been drained out of me by two 8-foot, one-eyed, white turds, one of which has pissed its pants.
Will DJ Lance Rock be delivering them to the opening ceremonies?
The Teletubbies go to the Olympics.
Who the hell came up with this shit?
But London 2012 organisers, for whom the launch of the mascots marks the start of a crucial period in which the games will become public property, pointed to the delighted reaction of a hall full of primary school children at today’s launch as evidence that they would connect with their target audience.
Does anybody remember when multi-billion-dollar events like this used to be aimed at grown-ups?
First the dirty Lisa Simpson logo and now a one-eyed mascot shaped like a penis?
And the one-eyed penis mascot (Wenlock) has a one-eyed look-of-disapproval face.
Plus the Paralympics version has peed himself, and has flippers for hands.
Thanks for the giggles!
I am printing it right now, and it’s going, immediately up on the bulletin board so many others can giggle too!
I think we’ve found the next two monsters for Backyard Monsters .

Finally, the Olympic mascot designers are dropping acid!
I think these were dreamed up in a field somewhere in Hampshire.*
[sub]*Surely there’s at least one person here who gets that.[/sub]
I thought The Doctor sent them back to their home plant a couple series ago?
I think I saw those guys on the first episode of the animated Justice League
And here I thought no ridiculous Olympic mascot would ever top Izzy! And actually, this Telegraph article is right on point .
whack-a-mole flash game - Tontie
the only thing different is the lack of eyelashes.
Are they remaking Attack of the
the Eye Creatures already?
Can we just go back to bears or cowboys or indians or eagles or turtles or sumptin?
Duh!
It’s certainly a courageous design choice. I do like the names though
Nah, that’s just Dr. Manhattan’s giant blue penis head in his shorts.
You know, London does have heraldic animals. What’s wrong with a dragon or two?

One of the comments on the article is great:
With a bit of luck some anarchic counter-movement will come up with a popular alternative, much like “Fatso the Fat-Arsed Wombat ” stole the show off the 2000 Olympics official mascots Sid Olie and Dickhead.
Is Mr Blobby, or Mr Bean looking for a gig? How about either Rupert or Paddington Bear?
At least they decided against this one :eek:
