Iran finds 2012 Olympics logo racist.

If anything it looks like Lisa Simpson (on the right) pleasuring some guy (on the left)... it's looks almost sexual, but how on Earth is it even remotely close to being racist?

Holy s*** that's an ugly logo.

Stop killing children for being gay before you cry RAY-CEE-SUM, Iran you stupid pillock.

As a persian, this is wuite disgraceful. Iran, a country where the government is just a filthy business and represents about 5% of the population that they bought with money.

I say that Iran calling it racist is just a cover for them wanting it changed because it's uglier than sin.-Toshy-

that's it,i ceased being iranian :|.

Iran is just trolling the world as usual, they should really get modded.

=

Amirite ?

haha so let me get this straight. They say it's racist because it spells "Zion" if you read it in a way nobody reads words anyways and you wouldn't know it said Zion unless someone actually point it out to you?

The 0 looks like Australia, who else agree?

No, but it reminds me of this

.

It amuses me how it can't be unseen haha.

They're wrong. It doesn't spell ZION. It spells ZOIN. Easy mistake.

I'm not seeing annything but the Z. I guess I can sorta see the N, but only if I really use my imagination.

Iran, you're the craziest ever.

If you purposefully misconstrue it like that, then yeah, it can read "ZION". Should you then piss and moan after purposefully misconstruing it to offend yourself? No Iran, you shouldn't.

I think it's racist because it has the Olympic rings as white, not multi-coloured. It shows that they think that the white race is above everything else and it really is a disgrace

[spoiler] Obvious sarcasm is obvious. The only thing wrong with this logo is that it is God-awful [/spoiler]

raynimrod

actually it does look like Zion

Whoever game up with this logo is either blind or mentally ill ts ugly as hell.

I agree. A woman performing oral sex on a man is racist :P (I don't have a dirty mind, thats what it looks like!)

i wish some more credible countries would threaten to boycott the Olympics so we can get the logo changed and the designers can be taken outside and shot.

And we care what the Iranian government thinks?

If we now keep this monstrosity of a logo, it's because we've been swayed into doing so just to spite the extremists, which means, by my twisted logic, that they've won. It doesn't say 'zion'; it's hideous and that's the only reason why it needs to go.

So OZNI then?

I don't see how it is offensive, but its just me.

I don't think we should keep it (it does look like some 1990's pop music crap), but I don't think we should change it just because Iran is throwing a tantrum about it.

Wow... I really find the lengths that the Iran regime will go to to sell their propaganda. This is just ridiculous. I hope their people protest and tie Ahmadinejad up by his testicles for being such an idiot.

And I f***ing lol'd hard at the Lisa Simpson thing.

:lol: Just search "lisa simpsons london olympic logo" in Google. :lol:

you know what's more offensive? women being raped in prison so they can then be "legally" executed. every person with a position of power in Iran deserves to be offended, at least.

I see ZOK, which then makes me think of Pac-Man.

Don't see how that's racist.

Hehe, I swear my mind is never in the gutter >_>

Two words for Iran:

Screw

You

I particulary dont give a **** about their opinion. And after they're on their high horse on the nuclear program saying they're not going to disable it, they cry about this? Nah....

DroidPhysX

Although if you read counterclockwise from the bottom left it also looks like "Izzo," which may draw copyright complaints from Jay-Z and cries of protest from Ohio State fans.

It's just Iran tying to ruffle feathers again.

[QUOTE="CMFreezy"]I do not see how this is racist either...ugly yes, racist no.Johnny_Rock

Iran is claiming the symbol creates the word, Zion (which is Hebrew {seriously, why would Iran care for a hebrew spelling} for Jerusalem) is insulting to Muslims (A.K.A. the scum of the world). Oh well. At least we won't have to worry about their scummy a**es coming to our games.

Are you serious?

Wow I wonder if all the muslims in England will complain too! =P
