I'm just glad VANOC didn't come up with mascots like that. You can imagine the comments on here ...

Re: London 2012 Olympic mascots
The 2012 logo is rubbish, but these mascots are so freaky they are cool. They seem designed to provoke reactionaries and given the comments I've seen in various places, I'd say job done.
Edit: I'm also glad that they didn't play it safe with some cute cuddly toy like every other olympics.
