I thought they looked crap but then I saw all of the other mascots from over the years and, in comparison, they're spectacular.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Okay, I was sceptical when these two were announced yesterday. I had my WTF moment, especially after the Lisa Simpson fiasco. But, strange as it may seem, I can see what the organisers are trying to do here. http://www.london2012.com/mascots#That's the official video that explains Wenlock and Mandeville's creation. They're aimed at kids, to get them enthused about the Olympics. Both characters learn and interact with each other and their surroundings. I think they work. Probably not in a giant bloke-in-a-suit kind of way, but online where they'll be able to come to life and interact with youngsters. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Shouldn't clippy be saying "It looks like you look like you are trying to run an Olympics. Would you like some help?"  _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21
