Viagra-lympics?

Thumbnail image for news-icon.jpgIs Viagra an unofficial sponsor of the Summer Olympics and Paralympics? Why ever would you think that? Maybe the fact that the events' official mascots look like two giant walking penises.

Wenlock and Mandeville are the Games' official mascots, and they are supposed to be two drops of steel. OK...whatever. Nobody seems to know what drops of steel have to do with the Olympics. And really, they look like penises. Or maybe giant sentient alien sperm. The phallic resemblance is pretty undeniable, with their bulbous heads, single eye, and stumpy legs that are vaguely scrotal.

Thanks to the creatures' suggestiveness - not to mention their general scariness level - some have recommended keeping them away from children. Also, don't tell the kids that London's Olympic 2012 logo is really an abstract representation of Lisa Simpson giving Bart head.
