Stalking Venus

These two… er… things are named Wenlock and Mandeville, and they are the two official mascots for the London Olympics in 2012.

Thank God, the Mayans and Roland Emmerich we’ll all be dead by then!

The story goes that some steel worker was putting the final beam in place for the Olympic stadium, when some molten metal fell to the ground. He took it home and formed it into these two freakazoids.

So, not only is he a shitty builder, a thief and on psychoactive drugs, but we now all have to watch these two little bastards do all the marketing for the next Olympics. It’s like the Teletubbies all over again.

Fantastic.

Still, if you think that’s bad, you should see the official Olympic logo.

I guess the pink blobs are supposed to look like the numbers “2012″, and the Olympic Rings are the eyes of this strange creature-like mess. It has some white offset between the pink foreground elements and the baby blue background, so it doesn’t completely ruin your eyesight. But tell me, in all honesty, considering the state of the world in general…

Should this logo and those mascots have cost a total of £800,000.00 to create?

I mean, seriously, someone needs to be put up against the wall and have a bullet put through their skull for this.

Preferably several someones.
