London 2012 Olympic Mascots Unveiled… And They Suck
Wed, May 19, 2010
The 2012 Summer Olympic mascots were unveiled today… and I immediately wanted to revise our list of The 10 Worst Olympic Mascots ever. These cycloptic creatures are instant top five turds.
I’m not sure how crab hands (right) or alien overlord (left) represent London or athletic competition. These monsters, named Wenlock and Mandeville, have too much junk in the trunk to be capable of competing in any kind of sport to begin with.
Perhaps their freakish appearance and desire to conquer our planet will motivate athletes to run faster and jump higher in order to escape the alien mascot’s laser vision.
I get that not all mascots can be as adorable as the Vancouver Winter Olympic mascots. But come on, that’s the best they could come up with? One-eyed, flat-footed freaks in spacesuits?
What’s your take? Cute or sucky or a sign of an impending alien invasion?

Hahahaha, I LOVE that the British gave Canadians such a hard time for our Olympics decor, and then they came up with THIS.
Uhhh… they look like thumbs. no, i think they will be revealing the crab pincers and legs and body come olympics. those are just the eyes.
You can’t be serious?! they have no relation to anything, are we trying to say britain is the new alien nation?! why couldn’t we have used somthing iconic of britain, like the lion or an umbrella mascot because these alien freaks makes me ashamed to be british.
Yea my British co-worker showed these to me the other day and he said “The jokes alone about one-eyed monsters is not good.”
I have to say it makes me feel better about our Mascots – they kicked ass compared to these (and they were controversial when they first came out).
Can you believe London gave Vancouver such a hard time? Now they are just making it to easy to return the favor.
OMG that is truly dreadful. I thought the 2012 funky graffiti logo was bad enough.
