Why the London Olympics felt that the 2012 games would best be symbolized by a pair of gay men with cameras for heads, I'll never know. I'm not even going to touch the fact that one of them is wearing a spandex singlet with Bart Simpson giving a blowjob on the front. But I will say that I'm really not so hot on Mandeville's decision to dye his hair blue and do it up in a couple of ponytails.
(thanks to
ianmcdonald for pointing out the security cameras, which got me thinking in this direction.)

And really, what says "21st Century London" more than anthropomorphic security cameras?

I was naive to think that no one could come up with mascots worse then Izzy. I mean, Athena and Phevos were bad, but they were still better then Izzy.
I never in my life imagined that someone would WANT to create a mascot to be in direct competition for Worse Mascot Ever... Much less two.

and yeah, those guys have been so excessively focus-grouped and executive-interfered that they've had all the interesting knocked off. If there every was any...
