Welcome to the new mascots of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Their names are Wenlock and Mandeville (I don't know which one is which)These figures look like Sauron, you know, that big eye thing in the movie "Lord of the Rings". Oh yeah, and the one of the left looks like its wearing an oven mitt.
I don't even know what to think of the mascots. Homer's "Springy" mascot is 10x better than these things.The Olympics commission said focus groups of children helped form the designs of the mascots, which completes the puzzle. It does look like something a bunch of kids would create as a class project. It's like Wenlock and Mandeville were pieced together from every child's suggestion. "They should have one eye!" "It'd be cool if they did karate!" "Make them fly!" It reminds me of the time the Simpsons created "Funzo" the Christmas toy and they asked all the kids to create it.After looking at the mascot picture I'm proud Canadian's had the Quatchi as its mascot for the 2010 games.
