To know, for sure, that not one poster on MN can genuinely say the London Olympic mascots are appealing.

If the organisers wanted them to be appealing, maybe making them look <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=london+2012+olympic+mascots&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1146&bih=706&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=D1IUl_CWhpZsxM:&imgrefurl=www.fastcompany.com/node/1649968/&docid=2z1XVY8c4kngPM&imgurl=images.fastcompany.com/upload/london-mascots.jpg&w=620&h=397&ei=wWacT6_AKtPY0QXj0-DuDg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=525&vpy=163&dur=666&hovh=180&hovw=281&tx=153&ty=127&sig=112379514407926695039&page=1&tbnh=123&tbnw=192&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0,i:71" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">unappealing and a bit sinister wasn't the way to go?

How much do you think was shelled out on the twonks team who designed them?

Sorry LittleBoxes....

They are shite. I wanted to like them too... but really??

Why do they only get one eye each?

Why don't they look remotely endearing?

Absolutely bloody horrid. Shame, because I won't be buying any Olympic tat for the dds to sell on eBay in 50 years keep for posterity.

You see I've got Olympics mugs and t-shirts and also really wanted to get the mascots for my kids. But I just don't like them. How disappointing :(

I'm genuinely excited about the Games but mascot and also logo are rubbish.

Yep £35! Hence me trying to persuade him a smaller one would suffice!

I think they're so hideous, they're actually endearing

The logo on the other hand...

Someone pointed out to me that the logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving someone a blowjob and now that's all I can see when I look at it!

I quite like Mandeville. Not so sure about Wenlock. Supposedly, they were created from the last two drops of steel left over form making the Olympic Stadium.

That lion's been kicked in the nads by some pesky brat kid and is trying to brush the experience off.

A desparate smile if ever I saw one.

Oi, Pride the Lion is nice! DD has a stuffed toy of him and already adores him.

Stop being so negative everyone! If the DCs like them (mine does) surely that's the point?
