sooooooo... olympics

[Draconis]

I have read a bit on BBC regarding the logos that were used for the 2012 Olympics and how many people are confused and a bit unhappy with it. But what's with the mascots? I guess they can be quite a bit worse, but not quite what I was thinking either. Almost too Teletuby-ish in some ways. I just finished watching the short cartoon about them. Kinda confused as to what is attempting to be done advertising-wise with these Olympics.
