Surveillance State Wenlock
May 18th, 2012Via: Forbes:
London decided to make its surveillance yen a dominant feature of its otherwise goofy mascots. “Wenlock” and “Mandeville” both have a huge single eye made out of a camera lens so that they can “record everything.” Image at right is from the official London Olympics website.
In case that’s too subtle for you, the Olympic organizers have offered a dress-up version of Wenlock in a policeman outfit.

It is not in fact a joke; Surveillance State Wenlock also shows up on the official shopping page for the London 2012 Olympics.

We need a human mounted 360 degree, 24/7 camera on everyone.
