They look silly, but then they're only there for the kids. Probably have been market tested and designed and re-designed, so whatever the people in charge think.
I don't think they're the worst commercial thing about the Olympics so far. I don't like the logo at all
TBH I think they're a little bit... dare I say it... creepy.
That sodding great eye in the middle of their head is very Orwellian - for some reason they also remind me of War Of The Worlds, which I watched the other night for the first time - very pleasantly surprised by it not being shit (apart from the ending)
Eye eye, stupid but not for us for the under 12's I can honestly say when it comes to the opening ceremony when the brazilan female beach volley ball team and the swedish female hockey team walk I know what I will be looking at...

What about the Eastern European shoot putters? Pwoar!!
[cite]Posted By: floydandharvey[/cite]Typical politically correct nonsense that says nothing about England 'cause we're too scared of upsetting the lentil-eaters to wave the flag. If I was in charge of the Olympic mascot it would be a big F-off bulldog with huge balls and a Union Jack T-shirt holding a bag of chips and raping a poodle in a beret with a string of onions round its neck. Sorted. Next.
It should have been an upper class man with wild blond hair wearing an ill-fitting suit with open jacket and off centre tie furiously waving a union jack.

Last night they showed some of the previous mascots, must say I don't remember a single one. So overall, does it really matter what they look like? Do people care that much or is it just another opportunity to moan at something else?

A one eyed monster
Somebody has made a mint out of it and must be laughing the balls off.
The black and white War Of The World's which they used to show on BBC 2 in the 1990s was a great film, shame about the ending though.
LOL.
So the two bob logo and now this. I wouldnt be suprised if they started the 100m with a confetti popper.
eh? Have you ever seen a tampon?
they are for kids and if the kids like them then they are a winner. So let the kids decide.
Yes i have...
and I am a kid
Looking att that, they do look a lot better
One-eyed lesbian?
obviously missed that bit.
And the mascots do look alot better with clothes on
or severe lack of vision
Unfortunatley this country was spayed years ago.
Get this man a job on the olympic committee!
