    Wow. Are they trying to prove that Jerry Falwell was right? Those mascots are a cross between a really gay Tinky Winky and an axe murderer.

    And, like many things the Japs come up with, would be vastly improved with a nuclear strike.

    It does explain why UK terrorists are so shit though, they're too busy pissing themselves with laughter to focus on killing us.

    Well, with this and when they make pole dancing a sport they will have dropped off the grid of reality.

    Can you see Hitler sending a fucking pole dancer to compete? :rotfl:

    ^ Sheffield steel allegedly.

    I have to say I don't mind the names, but why the fuck can't we be patriotic for once? Would a cute lion be so out of the question?????

    Two one-eyed monsters in front of a rainbow. We already know about the bi-curiosity of most British men, but is it such a good idea to point it out so blatantly?

    They should have built a fully functional giant robot instead.

    The technology has already arrived as I described recently here, but most people don't know it yet. An olympic mascot would be a wonderful showcase of what's possible.

    We need video of this idea being pitched, debated and finally selected. Then we need to show that video in psychology classrooms all over the world as a perfect example of the negative outcomes of group think. Honestly, I would pay money to see that. I think everyone involved should be dragged in front of a judge and jury and have the video played for them and then pause it at key moments and say "Now what were you thinking here?".

    I didn't think it was possible to come up with something stupider than the Teletubbies. I really didn't. I would have sworn nothing could possibly be more dismally ridiculous than the Teletubbies.

    I wasn't pessimistic enough. :(

    Given a lion has been an integral part of Englands various coats of arms since the early 12th century and was the first modern mascot of an international event (World Cup Willie), it would make a lot more sense a couple of bouncy and silvery aborted foetuses on the prowl

    Oh, and lest I'm being seen as overly English, the coats of arms the Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland also feature lions...

    And the Scottish arms as well for the record. So what if the Welsh get upset. Oh, and the Northern Irish? Well, if they're all like Midnight Funeral, I say fuck 'em.
