Another one for the WTF files...

London Olympic Logo Triggers Debate.

Apparently, the official logo for the London Olympics of 2012 has been unveiled. And folks are arguing vehemently over whether or not it can be considered "hideous".



Oy Vey.

No, it's supposed to be the numbers 2, 0, 1 and 2. There is no London & no UK in the logo. And it's supposed to appeal to a "younger" audience. And it cost $796,000.

I can only assume that the money went to a large purchase of crack, which was first ingested by the designer and then shared among the committee who approved the design.

*squints* Ok, now that you've pointed that out, I can see it.

It must have been some very good crack.
