Are the 2012 Olympics part of a plot to take over the world?
When Wenlock and Mandeville, the official mascots of the London Olympic Games, were unveiled to the world in May, the general reaction was one of bemusement. These stumpy, one-eyed, metallic-skinned creatures, the organisers explained, had formed out of stray drops of molten steel during the construction of the Olympic stadium, but most of the public and media simply interpreted them as aliens. What do monocular extraterrestrials have to do with the Olympics? A year earlier, the 2012 Olympic logo was greeted with a similar mix of derision and puzzlement. Jaded observers passed off these designs as sorry reflections of the state of British creativity, but a small minority had a very different answer: we were being primed for the establishment of the New World Order, by means of the greatest hoax in history.

good lord! That is the ugliest logo I have ever seen. Was it designed on the set of "saved by the bell"?

The only question it raises is, "WTF?"
 
try reading the comments section. The article seems to have brought all the loons out to play...
 
The logo is down right horrible, it took me a minute to realize it read "2012". The mascots are kinda weird but cute. I don't think they will translate very well from CGI, where they look cool to costumes where they won't.

I think they are a sad reflection of the state of British creativity, not because they are "alien" but because they're obviously Kodos and Kang rip offs from the Simpsons.

I think the idea of "alien" mascots is kind of neat from the point of view of someone not from this planet looking in on the games in curiosity.

The London Olympics theory is an intriguing case, not least because it actually makes a prediction. Either something will happen in 2012 or it won't: the theory will be right or wrong. What will people such as David do if nothing happens? "I'll be really bloody surprised," he says, "but if nothing happens, I'd say that the forces of good behind the scenes, like us, saved the day and the forces of evil were stopped."

Heads I win, Tails, you lose.


And they wonder why we think they might be just a little bit crazy.

You mean you've not seen it before?
Read this and you'll never be able to look at it in the same way again.
 
off course it's a conspiracy, they keep telling us that the whole country is looking forward to it but honestly no one is. 12 billion on a load of drugged up anorexics hop,skipping and jumping round a track, jeesus.
 
Saying the 2012 Logo is horrible is having good taste.
Saying it is part of some vast conspiracy is batcrap crazy.
