Quotation of the Day for May 24, 2010"If we can learn anything from the London 2012 Olympic mascots unveiled this week, it's that there's no point in anyone anywhere having a meeting about anything again. Obviously a meeting was held about whether those mascots were a good idea, and someone said, "Sure." So, medium discredited.... "To be fair to the British, nothing of value has ever come out of an 18-month design process involving 40 focus groups. That's what we're told produced these mascots, although a drunken one-night stand between a Teletubby and a Dalek seems like an equally plausible explanation." - Tabatha Southey, on the controversial London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic mascots, one-eyed creatures named Wenlock and Mandeville.
