Olympic Mascot FAIL

Introducing the London-born 2012 Olympic Mascots
The last time I checked, the Olympics were about competition. Meeting out in the field of battle. To battle. To fight. To win. The torch beckons, "Come all who dare. Step foot in this arena and you will duel the best in the world- and if you emerge victorious, you will live on in infamy forever" ...as teletubbies?
London just unveiled their newly created mascots for the 2012 Olympic games. I can just see Perez Hilton squealing with glee.
This is yet another sign that the dough-boy culture has taken hold in our world. While it may seem like a jump to criticize culture because of a couple of mascots, if you take the world as a whole, and see how they have broken down EVERYTHING that has been historically masculine, you might see it the way I do. Turning the Olympic games mascots into toddler toys...I can't believe it. I'm sure you can come up with a few examples too.
I think the only proper thing to do with these little mascots is to let King Leonidas kick them down a deep hole whilst yelling, "This is the OLYMPICS!"
