London Olympic Mascots

I think most everyone has seen the ridiculously silly and cutesy cyclops mascots for these London Olympics, right? The Olympic mascots are always unbelievably lame, but these ones might be overachievers in that department. (A gold medal for lame kitsch!) Plus, they're cyclopses, so won't that just invite other monsters to come attack people at the Olympics? Oh, and they're so cutesy, all the Pokemon will probably show up and fight each other in a mega-Pokemon-brawl, killing scores of thousands in the process! (Death by cute overload: Oh, the humanity?) But the worst part here is how these huge cyclops eye faces look kind of like archery targets: I'm surprised nobody has tried out target practice on them yet.

Look, Olympics: if you're going to get a cyclops mascot for the Olympic Games, then why not get the cyclops from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad? Then he could fight that big dragon as the opening ceremony, and the dragon could light the Olympic torch. Think of all the money you'd save! (Plus, it would be cooler.)

Seriously: Wouldn't these guys make way better Olympic mascots?:
