Online they look quite good and have a promising story line around them from Michael Morpurgo

says nothing about England

apart from their cabbie lights and the (English) history behind their names that is

Probably a big step up from previous mascots (if I could remember any of them).

What a pile of shite. Here's the real story behind them:

Don't let some facts get in the way of a knee jerk reaction

"It's new and I've not seen it before so it must be bad. Give me something old that has been done before 100s of times so I don't have to think or challenge myself"

Which one's the cripple...?

redsek2003

It's just a load of hoity toity, namby pamby, goody-goody, lotti-dotti, trendy lefty guardian reading graduate from Thames Valley University who's just spent two years fannying about. With a pen.

Anyone know how much it cost..?

I suspect a fraction of the money that LOCOG will make from them

football fans in rubbishing something new shocker!

Just think...

Another couple of weeks and Gordon Brown could have applied for the job of Olympic Mascot...

I could be wrong, but these look like people in costumes to me.

But they are superb. My 'Olympic 2012 Experience' will now be significantly enhanced.

Well done, LO COE ... err ... CHOCLOG (or whatever).

Saw that last week Salad.....I didn't laugh then either. Soap dodgers with too much time on their hands trying to be controversial/funny and failing at both.

Salad

not seen comments used in that way before ... a couple of funny comments there but also lot of unfunny repetition

DanDavis

I think these guys think that by infiltrating big company websites such as these they are winning in some way....all very odd.
