When in actual fact the logo really looks like Lisa Simpson performing a certain sexual act.

Uh, it clearly says ZOIN. Must be a typo.

...it is a rather ugly logo...

We should do a poll on best and worst Olympic logos.

Whelp, time for a new logo.

Or, you know, hopefully the situation blows over. It probably won't though.

The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.

It's ugly. Not that it's offensive, just ugly. But we've had ugly logos before, so no biggie.

It looks like Lisa Simpson sucking someone's (Bart's?) dick.

Enjoy the Inferno...

[up][up] I see that logo bloody everywhere and all I see is Lisa Simpson giving head. I would rather it was changed to be honest.

That which has been seen can not be unseen.

Thanks guys. But regardless, this is basically just someone trying to cause trouble than anything else. At least that seems to be the agreement so far, right?

I don't see the "Lisa giving head" bit in the logo. Maybe I don't know what I'm looking at.

Also the letters spell out to "soin", not Zion.

[up][up][up][up]

If you really want me to ruin the logo for you, imagine the "0" in "20" is Lisa's head, and the "2" in "12" is her body...

That logo needs to be burned for all kinds of non-Zionist reasons, but [lol] and Face Palm at the whole thing.

I didn't like the Matrix sequels either, so I can see where they're coming from on this.

I see the "ZION" thing if you read it up to down but I don't see the lisa thing.

Could also be "ZOIN" if you read it left to right.

Also, that's an olympic logo? It looks like a logo made for some youth camp by an underpaid graphic designer.

Whoever came up with it should be shot. No, whoever approved it for use as the official logo for the London Olympics should be shot.

"I don't see the "Lisa giving head" bit in the logo. Maybe I don't know what I'm looking at. "

Congratulations! You are not a latent pedophile!

"Also the letters spell out to "soin", not Zion. "

Actually, it quite clearly spells "ZOR".

All in favor of changing the logo to a Star of David?

After all, spite and disdain are what good international relations are based on, right?

Lisa's on the right. Granted the recipient on the left appears slightly deformed.
