They don't look like dancing all-seeing eyes at all!!! Complete with CCTV!!! Read more @ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/london2012/7741352/London-2012-Olympic-mascots-Wenlock-and-Mandeville-unveiled.html

So the olympic committee claims the two cyclops are named after Wenlock (birthplace of the olympics) and Stoke Mandevilles spinal injuries unit (related to the paralympic games... but I have found definitions which seem more appropriate!!!

Mandeville

The one on the right goes by the name Mandeville, based on my brief research alludes to Bernard Mandeville (philosopher who coincidentally was of the belief)

Mandeville's philosophy gave great offence at the time, and has always been stigmatized as false, cynical and degrading. His main thesis is that the actions of men cannot be divided into lower and higher. The higher life of man is merely a fiction introduced by philosophers and rulers to simplify government and the relations of society. In fact, virtue (which he defined as "every performance by which man, contrary to the impulse of nature, should endeavour the benefit of others, or the conquest of his own passions, out of a rational ambition of being good") is actually detrimental to the state in its commercial and intellectual progress, for it is the vices (i.e. the self-regarding actions of men) which alone, by means of inventions and the circulation of capital in connection with luxurious living, stimulate society into action and progress.---

I can't say whether this is the Mandeville they are referring to but hey it seems quite appropriate!!!!


Wenlock

A geographical period of time
"The Wenlock Epoch of the Silurian Period: 428 to 423 Mya", the image of the cyclops may find relevance here in that the cyclops is thought to be is a member of a primordial race of giants, each with a single eye in the middle of its forehead. Among other functions the cyclops endowed Hades (basically satan) with the power of invisibility.

So what do we have here!!!

1) A logo which blatantly spells out Zion.

2) A philosophy of evil that coincidentally happens to have the same name as one of the mascots.

3) Reference to "primordial races of giants" in designing it to look like a cyclops. References to primordial epochs of time...

4) Characters shaped like pyramid fucking cameras, one of which touts primordial fish hand!!!

That's from about 5 minutes of research, can't wait to see what premature conclusions others come to!!!!
