Wenlock the mascot.

I was just watching a video about the London 2012 Olympic torch route and on came Wenlock and Mandeville, the 2012 Olympic mascots.
Other than the obvious fact that they are ridiculous and whoever designed them should be put on a boat with the bloke who designed the logo for 2012 and shipped somewhere far, far away. I was just thinking to myself, my word, Wenlock looks so angry.

Apart from having a name that sounds like an evil fantasy wizard, just take a look at that brow, if a human had a brow like that people would avoid them on the street for fear that they were about to be assaulted.
What he essentially is, is a massive, furious eyeball atop of what appears to be a traffic cone with legs.


Just everything about them is wrong. They make me sad. 'Nuff said.

I totally think if they are allowed to use someone like Wenlock to represent the Olympics then I've got a better suggestion:

 I wonder if it is possible to put forward suggestions for a mascot to the Olympic committee, with the only justification for a late change being, "Well come on lads, it's better than anything you've designed recently".

Edit: Also, does it or does it not look like Mandeville has wet himself? Sim's mysterious blue liquid style.
