I think someone may have been listening to the people after the furore about the London 2012 logo (this rather hideous looking thing) when they came up with the official mascots for the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. I think they may have also taken notice of Berlino the bear from the 2009 world athletics championships in Berlin.
If you plan on traveling the 80-odd miles from Kettering in Northamptonshire, to London St Pancras on Saturday 23 May 2009, you may want to think again.

Well, not only is the London 2012 Olympic logo disgusting, as I mentioned before, but apparently footage of it on the official site will also induce epileptic fits. Nice.
After yesterday's fantastic news about London winning the 2012 Olympic bid, who would have thought today would turn out like it did.
