Teletubbies on Acid sighting or just the New Mascots for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London? 

What a treat this is – the mascots for the 2012 Olympics in London, England. Their names are Wenlock, derived from the Shropshire town of Much Wenlock where the Wenlock Games in the mid-19th century inspired the modern Olympic movement and will be representing the Olympic games; and Mandeville, derived from Stoke Mandeville in Buckinghamshire where the Stoke Mandeville Games was the widely recognized forerunner of the Paralympic movement and will be representing the Paralympic Games.

Sounds like there just might be a lot of merit behind the naming of these two mascots, now the face of the next Summer Olympics in 2012; however, something is amiss when you see what the brilliant British minds came up with – and remember, this went through several stages of approval!
