Calling London 2012 – is that the best you can do?

Mascot London Olympics 2012

I nicked this off Beetrice’s site.

After London’s amazing campaign video when bidding for the Summer Olympic Games 2012, they came up with these 2 sorry looking mascots. Is this some sort of Brit humour I’m not getting? Even a bulldog would have meant something.

Anyway, while Beetrice is reminded of the alien from the Simpsons cartoon, I’m reminded of something a little less innocent. It reminds me disturbingly of a condom ad.

That blue patch on the crotch is not helping. I think the blue mascot just wet itself laughing.

Fail, London! Fail!

I know! The blue patch is such a WTF moment. We were speechless when watching it on telly together.
A friend said “Ooh… look! Coalition mascots Nick and Dave! And in Lib Dem and Tory colours too!” LMAO
