Chicagoans, here's yet another reason to be glad you didn't get the Olympic bid: no terrible mascots.

London mascots Wenlock and Mandeville have great names. Thus ends the "praise" segment of this post.

They're vaguely human, unexpressive metal blobs with giant cameras for eyes. Which is to say: they are the literal embodiment of everything people hate about modern London, right down to the pervasive CCTV security.

This is design-by-committee at its worst. I wonder if mascots are subject to 'Question Time' and confidence votes?
