Well, that is just creepy as hell.

What are they supposed to represent, the Big Brother cameras they have all over their cities now?

[BarillaGirl]

Oh my lord, now I don't want to go. And I've been fantasizing about going to those Olympics since the "Fear Her" episode of the new Doctor Who.

A hare, a coyote and a bear. Swifter, higher, stronger although I never figured out how a coyote was higher:saywhat:

[Gnam]

There should be a law. :laugh:

They should steal the Hard Rock Cafe's layout and just have the five rings with host city's name and year below.

or, just hire the Sex Pistols to roam around the city. ;)

I don't know, I think Neve and Gliz are kind of cute. :gomer:

[Methanolandbrats]

They look like one eyed-serpents. Cut their arms off and sew big hairy balls on their knees :thumbup: An excellent mascot for the olympics.

:eek:

Methinks whoever came up with those two spent entirely too much of the budget down the local boozer doing quality control on a few barrels of Fuller's London Pride and had to rush to meet the deadline..

I mean the logo was bad enough, but this is out of control...:shakehead

Nary a Union Jack in sight...:thumdown:

Not sure whether I should be embarassed or proud to nominate this as one of the all-time great graphics criticism observations, cuz I got it immediately. :laugh::thumbup:

The Rock-em Sock-em one is pretty astute too but it doesn't featu - nevermind. :\

Drops of steel? They haven't made steel in the UK since Thatcher destroyed the industry during her reign of terror..

Another disaster for the London 2012 Olympics. ;)


Female beach volleyball players will have the option of wearing less revealing uniforms at the London Olympics in an attempt by the sport's governing body to respect the cultural beliefs of various countries.

The International Volleyball Federation says it will allow shorts and sleeved tops at the Olympics, in addition to bikinis and body suits already permitted.

I think that was done more out of compassion than anything else...the only way to tell it's summer in England is that the rain is warm...otherwise those poor gals are going to freeze their tiny little wottsit's off..
