A shabby sock puppet for 2012 is inspired, in our book, but, really, can you do any better than this BBC reader effort at creating an Olympic mascot?

I sort of like the sock. He has a cheeky smile.

i like the sock too. what can i say, he looks like a very happy character considering his main function in life is to cover people’s feet. (is it a ‘he’? am i anthropomorphising the sock?)

Yeah, get off the sock’s back, Matt. What’s he ever done to you. (Excuse me if he murdered your entire family or the like, but I wasn’t know.)

Afraid we’ve been beaten to this (It’s also where the sock came from)

This looks wrong. It looks like the sleazy lion is about to do something dirty to the foxy unicorn. Or is that just me?

It’s not just you CCCC, but there’s only a small select group of people who agree with your perspective. They’re called furries.

Fortunately there’s no such thing as sockies, so I’m sticking to the sock. Bit like SockMonster really.

Furries are not as good as BoyTaurs. Google it….

I don’t normally bother with B3ta but that sock, in all its permutations is FUCKING BRILLIANT.
