Erm... Is it just me or do they look a bit like penises?

Cut and Uncut.

I'm glad it's not just me. But hey, the logo looked like a couple of stick figures in a private act, so I guess they're true to the theme.

Lisa Simpson giving a blow job is the description of the logo that I think of.

Do they come in a brown paper sick-bag?

i mean why have they got ONE eye??

Good grief! Well, it certainly wouldn't encourage me to take up sport, but then I can't imagine what would :)

If a Teletubby and the liquid metal terminator from Terminator 2 had babies, this is what they'd be.

According to the BBC News website, it's a camera... They're supposed to appeal to children. All I can say is, they wouldn't have appealed to *me* at any stage past about 6 months. I suppose they'd have been OK for teething on...

I can think of a few! Just read the article and

Appropriately the one-eyed figures were created by London-based creative agency Iris, whose clients include Wonderbra, adidas and Argos

Is this the reason I wasn't aware that adidas still existed, I though Wonderbra was a 1980's company and Argos is going downhill fast?

Oh, wow, conspiracy nuts are going to have a field day with this.

The eye is a CC camera, symbolizing the watchful eye of the Police State.
The points on the head of the blue one are stylized devil horns.
And the multicolored circular "bracelets"? Obviously symbols of the Homosexual Agenda....

Win!

wtf

.... I really can't think of anything more to say - so I'll say it again. WTF?

Oh, and 'how much did that cost us?"

I have a word...

AUGHHHHHHH!

(Although I'm not quite certain of the spelling)

The really awful thing? Someone got paid big bucks for that crap.

The one on the right looks like he has silver chaps on over blue skin. In other words, chaps but no pants. "Hi! Look at my big blue crotch! Let's shag! There are no clothes to get in the way!"
