Meet the Olympic mascots - including a sperm with celestial flatulence
AS London 2012 officials prepare - a little nervously - to unveil their mascot or even mascots for the Olympics and Paralympics, here's a look back at recent creations.
BEIJING 2008
According to Beijing Olympic organisers these little fellahs were: "designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends. They embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals - the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow and the Olympic Flame."
Which begs the question. Have you ever seen an Olympic Flame in a zoo and is it safe to feed them?
Apparently, Nini - the green one - was as ‘innocent and joyful as a swallow', although insiders claim Beibei - the blue one - was just a little bit slutty.
