London 2012 Olympic Logo

Yippee! The Olympic logo has been launched. If you squint really hard, and drink brandy for fun, it look slike it says "2012" with a weird umlaut on the third character. Maybe just a typo heh...

Personally, my kid couldve done it with a crayon, while attempting to impart his artist skills and fashion a tree. But we keep getting told that the designers need to share their thoughts with us, so we can see the inner meaning of the logo.

Or, as Ken Livingstone said (him of London mayor fame, him who is paying for this shindig) "i didnt actually get a boner looking at it" (ok, those arent his exact words, but that is kinda what he said.

The truth is, he shouldve got a boner looking at it. It looks uncannily like Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob. Maybe that is the hidden meaning the designers wanted to impress upon us. Sex is exercise. Either way, a recent poll showed that we dont like the logo, we think it is pants, and, by the way, did I mention WE PAID FOR IT OUT OF OUR TAX MONEY. Four Hundred Thousand Pounds. At the current exchange rate (and the US debt) that is about 17 bazillion US dollars, or 49 google canadian dollars.

Unfortunately, we cant blame Canada for this one, we can only blame ourselves. If I actually had a choice, the goatse version woudve done better. They just forgot to draw the lubricant we need to use when the council tax goes up, traffic comes to a standstill and shops start charging ludicrous prices for everyday items. All because some chaps want to run around in circles, fast, and others feel like throwing a spear or a hammer.

I thought that as a society we had progressed past this. Gimme the non-competitive olympics. That way the lone chap from some long forgotten african dictatorship who goes to the olympics all by himself, and in the opening ceremony is the only twat that carries his own flag will get a chance for a medal.
