3. ??

talk about creepy and fugly! who the hell thought that this would be a good idea? I also wonder what Olympic ideal they are supposed to represent.

They look like cyclops with lobster claws who need their diapers changed.

4. I really have no idea what they were thinking

Looks like something I'd expect out of Japan, next to Pikachu.

16. Gawd, I hate that thing!

It totally scars the skyline of Lambeth, and those gorgeous old buildings (including Big Ben and the Houses). Last time I was there, it was knee-deep in German tourists waiting hours to get on the hamster wheel. Meh.

So why am I not surprised that a society who thinks tripe is a meal would come up with this weird little Monsters, Inc creatures?

[Auggie]

7. Am I the only one seeing something phallic here?

17. Long things, with one eye?

Naw, it's just you. Excuse me while I go grab another beer to erase those images from my mind!

[SpiralHawk]

8. The TeaBagger Twits?

Really. How pathetic.

[asjr]

9. Those things would scare my two-year old

grandson to death! He would run screaming down the road.

[Radical Activist]

10. This most definitely was a decision made by a committee of bureaucrats.

Perhaps from the ministry of silly walks.

[HipChick]

12. WTH?

what a lot of bollocks that is..

[Stargazer09]

13. Okay, I give up

WHAT are they???

[zbird]

14. Considering the logo for the games, maybe they're giant one-eyed snakes?

[AnnieBW]

15. Toxic One-Eyed Fish Creatures from the Thames?

These make the Atlanta Olympic mascot look good.
