Here's your first sneak-peek at the London Summer Games' official mascots Wenlocke and Mandeville or, as I like to call them, What the Fuck and Get It Away From Me.

Head of design Someone Smokesalot told the media that Wenlocke and Mandeville are hybrids of everything Londoners love: Wii controllers, sperm, oven mitts, Teletubbies, and magic eight balls.

"We thought throwing all of those elements together would create a sort of footless, nightmarish creature that would look nice standing in front of a rainbow," Smokesalot explained. "And we were obviously right."
