Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

If you watch the Official Video of the Official Unveiling there’s a section of little kids making zooming motions with their hands, which look SO MUCH like seig heil Hitler salutes its amazing.
This is what happens when you let retarded, swishy British communist ahhhhtists near anything important. You get ahhhht-ism. The lot of them should be fired and replaced by a class of grade three kids with a box of crayons.
What’s in the mind of the designer(s) of that? Marbles?
One eyed trouser snakes!
Oh, goodie… Walking phallic euphemisms.
Symbolic of contemporary Britain’s cultural sophistication.
Yup. This is part of Tony Blair/Gordon Brown/Labour’s legacy.
OK, I admit it:
I don’t “get” it. I know they’re the mascots, but what are they supposed to be? A team named the Bulls would have a bull mascot; so what are these creatures, exactly?
PS one of my readers suggests we start a rumor that the 2010 olympics logo is really a VERY abstract image of Mohammed 🙂

They look like cartoonish walking penes from outer space.
(I think I once saw something similar in a picture of a float from a gay pride parade)
Feminists should be screeching about non-representation or something.
Oz:
I agree. One of them should have been a giant penis and the other an enormous boob – a likeness of Gordon Brown, for example.
You would think the country that created Dr Who could get a little more imagination. Exterminate, Exterminate, Exterminate!
SPACE INVADERS ! The death ray comes out of the black dot, flee while you can..
Kathy – ha ha ha ha ha!!!
These are the politically correct representations of nothing. Britain won’t offend males, females, religion, adult, child, environment, U.N.employees, countries in every hemisphere, shapes, feelings…..
Wait, I think colours should be offended. White has way too much representation here. Green, black, purple, yellow, mauve…. I see many demonstrations in our future. Colours of the world unite. A good place to start is the G-20 in Canada. (they are suckers for this kind of stuff!)
Only Britain could produce a super villain that looks like a rolling dustbin, has a death ray on one side and a toilet plunger on the other.
“Exterminate, exterminate, you will die… or… do you have any plumbing?”
These asshats say they let children design the mascots. Yeah, you can hardly tell and now we know why, generally, we leave important decisions to adults. Except in Britain, where Foxes run free, the government packs your lunch and children make the important decisions.
By the way, it’s Everybody Draw Mohammad Day! Here’s explodo-Mo.

1. the crotchless pants on the one is a convenience for the Moose Limbs to bend over the UK and f&*k them in the a##.
2. Which one is “d%^kless” and which one has no balls? I know, BOTH>
Yeah, looks like a sex toy to me.
A really weird one…..
These are the politically correct representations of nothing
As mentioned before, they do look very much like a phallic symbol.
The sun has indeed set…….
This is starting to be a trend with the UK Olympics. They are the ones that during the closing ceremony in China had a woman sing that anthem to the substantial tool “Whole Lotta Love.”
You can’t say we weren’t warned.
Matt Groening call your office.

I thought they look remarkably like a low-budget Doctor Who monster from the 1970s…
they cant’ have real human features because that would offend all the regularly offended.
good to see their mechanical like heads are covered up, so as not to offend the regularly offended
I hope I haven’t offended anyone with this noting of offensiveness.
Surely designed by a committee of uber-libs educated at the states finest institutions of political correctness. Just freakin horrible!
I think the mascots are quite appropriate for Britain. Don’t they look like walking surveillance cameras?
The best comment I read was ‘the blue one has his gay ass chaps on backwards.’
Run! Run a away!!! Kang and Kodos are here to enslave us……………aaaaahhhhhhhhh
I didn’t think it was possible to out-stupid the mascots dreamed up for the Vancouver Winter Olympics. I stand corrected.
I had my doubts about the Vancouver Olympic mascots at first too, until my kids (8 and 10 year old boys), and all their friends ending up wanting and getting their own Quatchis, Sumis, and Migas. If they were marketing for kids, they succeeded because they are hanging off of hockey bags, and backpacks everywhere. Perhaps the London mascots will catch on too, though I have to admit they are pretty dorky looking.
I’m not thrilled myself, but it could be worse: New Labour could have a majority.
Sasquatch @ 12:26 sums it up.

the phrase “japanese game show”, or perhaps
“one-eyed trouser snake” springs to mind.
i wonder what the fee for this particular
brainfart amounted to.

It appears to be a non-Jewish mascot.
They are the dicks of the dick-less wonders that dreamed them up. What a freakin waste of space.
i guess ultimately this sums it up:
These are the politically correct representations of nothing
What strikes me is how infantile the mascots are becoming. These ones from London remind me ot Boobah or The Teletubbies. Then again, according to Wiki “Since the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France the Olympic Games have had a mascot, usually an animal native to the area or occasionally human figures representing the cultural heritage”.
…occasionally human figures representing the cultural heritage
Given the state of statism in the UK, perhaps an infantile human-like cartoon character with one over-sized (Orwellian?) eye and designed to appeal to the most immature of its citizens does represent Britain’s current culture. Just as Vancouver’s mascots represented Canada’s preoccupation with political correctness and the idea of a cultural mosaic.
It appears to be a non-Jewish mascot.

I thought the same when trying to compose my earlier post but couldn’t have said it so well so I didn’t.
Look! Over there! It’s Barbarella’s (Jane Fonda) giant space dildo, “Orgasmatron”!
So that’s what Mohammad looks like……..who knew he was a one eye wonder worm
Could we not put a couple of burqas over those things?
What the Fife ?!?

O.M.G.
This is bordering on child abuse and I’m not kidding.
We’re programming our kids in the West to veer away from what makes us human — meaningful and loving relationships with our parents, other significant adults, siblings, friends, in other words, HUMANITY — and to entertain relationships with aliens and other-worldly creatures, what I refer to as “patting the snake.” (The Na’vi in “Avatar” are another example of the blurring of boundaries between humans as G*d’s creation and a hybrid race of aliens — with the aliens coming out way ahead. And, without too much hyperbole, I consider Robert Munsch’s “children” in the plethora of his kids’ stories in the same category.)
There is no grace or beauty in these freakish mascots. How is a kid supposed to relate to them? I guess they can shake hands … ‘Good luck to the innovators on making money from these monstrosities.
Yeah, I can just see a child cuddling up to a plush version of these … (involuntary shudder – controlled retching) … ah, jeez, there goes my sleep for a week.
“It appears to be a non-Jewish mascot.”
That’s a good one. Somewehere a handful of British designers must be pissing their pants laughing that their prank was accepted.
I’m just disappointed that they didn’t pick the goatse entry for the London 2012 logo.

Frances Idea of the Olympics visualy. A one eyed snake all prettied up in a special condom.

Oh look the aliens from the Simpsons have been on a diet.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I give Canada credit: our Olympic mascots were adorable this time around. I kinda want ’em.
I think it’d be less chauvinistic and more equal if the mascots looked like these:

Actually they have as much personality as someone with one too many facelifts. Joan will soon be down to one eye.
Run little boy run! Fallis -obsessed fascists from Jupiter have taken over White Hall.
