The BBC are asking people to design a mascot for the London Olympics. We think you can do better. Who or what would best represent Britain to the world?

Challenge suggested by The Coast of Yemen and voted for by YOU.

Compo it, Mr Prodigy!

Have a click!

I have a strange brain.

Prod has the win.
How can you top a BBC Front Page?

I very rarely say that, but if ever there was a time to do so then surely it's now.

I've seen you mention the cliques and the old-pals-act that gets front pages in the past, and so have I, but you don't get 31 FPs by being hated by everyone.

I'm not trying to be an arse, it's just an observation.

edit: i'd love it if your name was really Terry Scott

[edit] and it's not ;P

nuddie-ukelele pluckin' Micto

T'was just an idle thought mentioned in passing, I meant no offence.

*cracks whip*

Actually, I'm going to consider changing my name now.

then he's old enough for me to attempt to groom him.

Is that for real with the BBC?

YOU FUCKING LEGEND!

Edit: I've just screen captured that, this NEEDS TO BE NEWSLETTERED, the wonderful b3ta has triamphed again

especially you, Prodj ;)

It really made my day :)

Not to wobble the boat or anything, but I have a rather nifty .pdf document on pricing trends that has helped TGA, Hedgehog from Hell, and Beau Bo D'or and me at work

I'll send it to you if you want, though seeing it there for a day or two is priceless

I'm not really bothered...but send me the pricing trend pdf, it'll be handy to have

Well done :-D

click click

this should have been the compo logo

WINNER!
He gets my vote.

can i have a go on her?

I mean *CLICKED* HARD! :D

It's such an iconic sock. Outstanding, I guffawed with pleasure.

I had to call the whole office over when I saw it..... worth a million clicks :)

I laughed I did.

b3ta rules the internets

I was half expecting a bottom pulling themed mascot.

Congrats for getting b3ta on to the Beeb again with yet another Olympics themed compo :)

On BBC news 24 at 5.15 this morning. Therefore, this wins.

and well done on the Beeb endoresement

*clicks*

If this becomes the official mascot, I will probably wee my trousers on purpose, such will be my delight

oh god please can it be a public vote for the official mascot

on the bbc news site at work - wooooooo to you sir! :)

and yes - this should be made official

but, must say, the first mascot on the BBC site ("Ben") is the shittest thing I have ever, ever seen.

'Ackin' genius! I'm not sure I have enough congrats to express myself properly, so have a click instead.

so soon

Shortest compo ever

TJ: Anyone got their paws on the Canon EOS 1D Mk III yet?

*launders balaclava

but get a bit lost on the Canon forums with their technical jargon

what next, the invention of the wireless radio


dear me

For being the last to enter the old compo before the new on is announced?


...no?

......please?

challenge link on frontpage is borked

c_kick, happily supplying b3ta staff with known information

Now fixed.
