Olympics Mascots

The BBC Magazine has a piece about Olympic mascots which includes an opportunity for you to create your own suggestion for the 2012 Olympics in England. There's also a review of the worst Olympic mascots in recent memory as well as an explanation of why the Olympics even has a mascot (here's a hint: $$$).

The mascots for the Beijing Olympics, pictured above, are Beibei the fish, Jingjing the panda, Huanhuan the Olympic flame, Yingying the antelope, and Nini the swallow. You knew that, right?
