Title: THE OLYMPIC LOGO IS RACIST!
Post by: Kudistos Megistos on 2011-03-04 00:59:52
Iran has complained that the logo for the 2012 Olympic Games in London is racist. What looks like the number "2012" on acid is in fact, according to some fuckhead, the word "ZION". Clearly, this was a deliberate attack on the entire Islamic word; the vague abstract logo that hardly looks like anything at all obviously says "Zion", and we know that saying "Zion" is racist.

The BBC reporting on the matter (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-12604512). What's disturbing is that they are taking it seriously instead of bursting out laughing.

The offending logo:

This can only be taken to spell Zion, a vicious racist attack.

Well...Chopsticks!  Black People!  Toyota!  This is at least three times as racist as the Olympic Symbol.

While ridiculous, Olympic committees are supposed to be completely unbiased and unilaterally considerate. From that short news-clip it sounds like they DID have a laugh and told Iran to shut it and get over it. What happens if I see Buddha in a cloud? Should I detonate a bomb inside it because it's racist? Racist? really? Last I heard Iran didn't have the monopoly on Islam. Or that Zion ONLY meant something to Muslims. Clearly I've been mistaken all this time.   ???

Personally, I think it looks really bad. It doesn't even look much like 2012 even though it's supposed to be. Why aren't the Arabs complaining about how London's butchering their beautiful numbers?

Ya know, at first when I read this. I was turning my head side to side trying to see it. But I just couldnt. Finally I scrolled up to go to a different page. And when I just glanced at it I saw it. And it really does, and dudeman on the left even has his hand on her head haha

And he's especially racist for saying that the name "Babylon" represents evil. Babylon was in what is now Iraq, so that means he supports the Iraq war and the Crusades against the Islamic word. I issue a fatwa against his grave!

Incidentally, couldn't you also say that every Olympic logo before London 2012's was racist? I mean, if this is the only one that spells "Zion", then the rest have been ignoring Zion and thereby implying support for militant anti-zionist ideologies such as Iran's. Blatant antisemitism!

It is pink! I approve 8-) I think Iran is full of super grumpy people that needs to get over themselves! They are way too caught up in forcing their beliefs on others...

Yes, it is in pink.

Which represents homosexuality.

Another anti-Islamic design decision!

Has this been discussed yet...I mean...really?

Really?  If I encountered one of these things on the street, I would be obligated to bludgeon it beyond death with any and every available blunt object in sight.

Lucky for me, I'm not so much color BLIND as I am color DEFICIENT.  I can still see these colors, but not very well.  Pink is one of my worse colors.

Exactly.  I was (barely) able to tell before I tilted the screen that it was trollface.  I didn't know the text was there though... Hell, I can barely see it when I'm searching for it

You know I've looked at it it multiple times but can not for the life of me see "Zion". However, I can clearly see a girl giving head!  :-o

In other news, Iran has announced that it will compete in the London games after all. It seems that the logo was offensive enough to b*tch about, but not offensive enough to boycott the games over.

I would say that I had lost all of my respect for Iran after this incident, but I didn't have any to begin with.

P.S.

Why could the earthquake have happened in Iran instead? It would be hilarious to see them begging for western aid, and for the west to not give a f*ck. ;D
