The mascots look like industrial strength dildos. The logo sucks. I do love the the complaints though. The Brits do have a way with words.

The video accompanying the mascots shows that they “came out of a rainbow.” What it did not show was that the rainbow emanated from Elton John’s ass.

Looks like the mascots are shrugging like they don’t know what the fuck they are either.

At least they bear NO resemblence to a certain Mideastern “religious leader.”

I imagine that was on of the design criteria.

Buzz, more like the real deal. Dancing Happy One Eyed Johnsons....

I like the last logo too, but it isn’t pc enough for the muslim friends, since it has a cross in it.

I thought the logo was either for the “Rock-’em, Sock’em Robots” toy (even more so after seeing it animated), or a medicine for back pain or headaches.  Olympics?  NO!

However, I do very much like that alternate logo—simple and classy.

What is the highlighted groin on the blue one all about?

I never got over that 2012 logo.  Light blue and hot pink, it’s like some nightmare retro holdover from Miami Vice.

For better or worse, I always thought of the Brits as a civilizing influence on us; they were adults, the better angels of our own bright and boisterous and frequently tacky nature.  We had Rambo, they had quiet resolve and a stiff upper lip.  They had a sense of humor, but their humor was more mature and sublime, a nice break from fart jokes and “HAY LADAAAAAAAAAAY!” and slapstick.

I miss that perception of them.  Where they’re headed now is tragic and depressing and I think we’re all worse off for it.

Guess he’s the “Kind of that yin-yang thing.UnHappy, Blue-balled Johnson”

...m’mkay.

Heil blue and orange thingys!

On the other hand they do look like a cricket uniform/////OUCH, POW, BIFF, SOCK, KABLAMM......

Kang and Kodos in their latest disguises, once again trying to enslave the vile hu-mans…

I like the last logo too, but it isn’t pc enough for the muslim friends, since it has a cross in it.

Specifically, the Cross of St George, which was of course worn by Christian warriors during the Crusades.

(Speaking of which, we could reeeeeeealy use another one about now.)

I don’t know what it is with Colonel Jerry and the Cricket thing today, but heck, I’m willing to play…

What it did not show was that the rainbow emanated from Elton John’s ass.

Great mental image, Digi. Thanks for that.

Butt as long as we’re going ‘there’, it reminds me of the Rolling Stone interview with Liza Minelli, decades ago, and she talked about her mom (Judy Garland… for all of you youngsters) never being able to get away from “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, no matter what.

According to Liza, she was about ten at the time and her and Judy were in a public bathroom in some hotel in NYC and some lady recognized Judy and started gushing all over her and lending sympathy for Garland’s well-known drug/alcohol problems, saying something like, “Oh Judy, just remember The Rainbow. No matter what, never forget the Rainbow!”

To which Judy Garland calmly replied, “Madam, I could never forget The Rainbow. I’ve got rainbows coming out my ass!”

Minelli said the look of shock on the woman’s face was priceless.

The ENGLISH flag is the Cross of St. George, a red cross on a white field. The UK flag, aka the Union Jack, dates from the subjugation of Ireland and features the Cross of St. Patrick as well as the Saltire of St Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland..

They look like a spork and spoon.

A spork IS a spoon.  (dives, full afterburner, jinxing, dropping chaff & flares.... ;(

I found out you can make your own restaurant-quality sporks by turning on the garbage disposal without checking it for silverware first.

Shouldn’t this have to be presented b/4 they get picked?  At first I tho’t this was a spoof--- than I tho’t WTF-- makes me wonder what Chicago would have done.  Can you imagine what the opening ceremony is going to be?  whew!!!

A couple of viruses?  (viri?)

we should start a trend to name them Mo and his other brother Mo.

That way they will forever become the image of mo--ham-head.

Inflatable Venusian love dolls.
