Some stories write themselves. This is one of them.The official mascots for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London were unveiled yesterday, and we couldn't help but notice that, well, most of our readers have already seen something that looks just like them.
"After 18 months, 40 focus groups, and a secret operation worthy of MI5," British newspaper The Telegraph reported, "London 2012 on Wednesday finally revealed the mascots that will help define the capital's Olympic experience and, just as importantly, help pay for it."
We're still amazed that not one person in the room said of the one-eyed monsters, "Hey, wait a minute -- those are one-eyed monsters. Isn't that a euphemism for something?"
But we're glad they didn't, because we can now gleefully introduce Wenlock and Mandeville. Check out more "action shots" of the phallic pair on the next page.

Although I am in agreement with Dave that these characters do not look very much like my little friend, I do have to wonder what would drive sane people to believe that those two things embody the "Olympic Spirit" or would be likely to cause people to come to London and spend money in 2012 or any other time? I have been to London and liked it very much but between this atrocity and the previous abomination of a design for the 2012 Olympics which looked suspiciously like Nazi art on Meth I have to ask WTF?
