There are no Olympic Games this year, but it doesn't mean that we cannot talk about that. In July 2007, the IOC will elect the city which will host the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. And it appears that it's the city of PyeongChang in South Korea that is going to be elected.

In a different (and sadder) register, it's only a few weeks ago that the organization of the 2012 London Olympic Games unveiled the official logo for the event. The unveilment acted like a stinking bomb and with reason.

Because the logo is horrible, ugly, and worst of all: shameful. We often say that we wouldn't like at someone else's place... Well, I can tell you that at this very moment, I wouldn't like to be English because I would be ashamed.

And many English people are also ashamed. 83% of the people who answered to a poll have given the worst possible rating to the controversial logo. I would have done so as well.

The logo, not only is it ugly, it doesn't have any artistic value, doesn't represent anything and is adressed to absolutely nobody. It's only an incomprehensible $800 million waste which only adds garlic on the delicious cake that is supposed to be the upcoming games in the English capital.

Many columnists tried to find out what the logo was supposed to mean. And their theories, which go from the broken window to the silhouette of a girl performing oral sex, are not totally crazy.

I invite you to go to the following website, so you could vote against that logo and urge the organizators to modify that horror. The Games are supposed to celebrate the best of human nature, not the worst of it.
