It should be noted that yes, these people are so stupid as to consider equating their mascots with all-seeing Orwellian security forces is a benevolent, wonderful idea that couldn't possibly backfire.
It should also be noted that this Olympics is the one where an aircraft carrier is being deployed in the Thames for "security reasons."

>Turns out the carrier is there to spice up the water polo
Can't possibly be satirical; the British are notoriously known for not understanding sarcasm.
Actually, HMS Ocean is a helicopter carrier
Your comment would have worked better if you had said "It should also be noted that this Olympics is the one where a SAM battery is being considered to be deployed in civilian areas for "security reasons.""
Don't forget how IOC officials get their own traffic lanes. For "security reasons."
Or the USA wanting to move a tourist attraction for "security reasons".
Or demolishing low-income neighborhoods full of poor people and minorities to build an Olympic Village that will later be converted into a set of houses in the millions for "security reasons."
Hey, any Olympics that gets an aircraft carrier is like instantly 75% cooler.
What about Olympics that only get a helicopter carrier?
I'm willing to say it's 50%. Had the Brits not have dumped their battleships, the number could be well above a hundred.
Did anyone else initially see the thing in the OP as a bear? White snout, black nose, police helmet over the eyes...
We didn't dump our battleships, the Germans and the Japanese sank them during the war
I don't know about you guys, but that thing is adorable.
I dunno, I gotta go with the guy who thinks it looks like the nightmarish lovechild of a Dalek and a Teletubby.
That's exactly why it's adorable.
@Whale: the Vanguard was made into razor blades. For that there is no excuse.
