    Seeing it waddle towards the athletes is so creepy. :erm:
    I think they are cute! Their little run is funny.

    Being chased by a waddling humanoid with a giant eyeball for a face is creepy in my books.
    it's like the girl from futurama

    I'd say that the "one eyed " mascot represents "The Arrivals" which is part of a illuminatee group who supposedly support the devil...

    youre right about that... did you know that the triangluar shape at the top of the olympic park is to do with the arrivals and the free masons.. even though i enjoy watching the olympics i still dont understand how obvious the arctitects were whilst planning the illuminatee structures, youre also right about the dollar sign, it does have a pyramid shaped eye on it which also is involved with the illuminatee.

    [them in disguise?! I hate them.

    Also I think Mandeville (the one that represents the paraolyimpics) looks like he's wet himself... I'm just saying.

    I much prefer the GB mascot

    I thought it was so cute when the Wenlock mascot ran up to Usain Bolt after he won the 100m, posed with him and gave him a golf toy Wenlock to keep!

    I want one!

    It may look stupid or whatever to us, but we are grown up, children love them, I work in a shop and they are extremely popular with the kids. So its obviously doing its job in getting children involved with the olympics which is pretty good, whilst also raising money towards the olympics.
    Wtf? So their eyes aren't actually eyes? :lolwut: I didn't notice any of the other stuff like the taxi light, the bangles etc, but the one thing I did notice (that they have only one eye) was wrong XD

    They're fine, though I have to say I didn't notice Wenlock anywhere except for inside the main athletics stadium, and even then he didn't always have a mini gold him for gold medallists. They're for kids, so they needn't be anything amazingly philosophical or inspirational, just energetic.
