London Olympics Mascots

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Seriously? This will represent London to the world? This?

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.

If nothing else they'll get people talking. Wondering what the hell they're meant to be.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

I think they're rather cute, and the back-story is quite clever.

Wenlock and Mandeville

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/may/1 ... 012-mascot
The pair are based on a short story by children's author Michael Morpurgo that tells how they were fashioned from droplets of the steel used to build the Olympic stadium.

...

Wenlock, named after the Shropshire town of Much Wenlock that helped inspire Pierre de Coubertin to launch the modern Olympics, and Mandeville, inspired by the Buckinghamshire town of Stoke Mandeville, where the Paralympics were founded

i quite like them, to be honest :lol:

and:
Among the designs rejected at the start of an open pitch process were anthropomorphic pigeons, an animated tea pot and a Big Ben with arms and legs.
i'd call that a narrow escape :lol:

I'll like them even better when they're pictured leaving some London nite club spewing up with a skanky WAG on each arm.

MILLIONS of children are waking up this morning drenched in sweat and urine following the unveiling of the London 2012 Olympic mascots.
