  Hilariously Iran have lodged an official complaint with the IOC about the London Olympic Logo
  
  Apparently to the Iranian authorities it is racist as it says "ZION" to them
  
  There was me thinking it was really a picture of Lisa Simpson giving Bart some relief - oh well

  That Simpsons thing has caused me some disturbing images, Ross! I almost prefer Phils!

  I'm sure I had a similar thought Bern - naughty man Ross !
  
  Well done Phil.

  I much prefer Phil's version although the Bart one is very clever.
  
  If the Iranians will read back to front, in other words right to left, that is their problem.

  Apparantly the true 2012 Olympic logo cost £400,000 to research and design. How exactly?
  
  What about the Olympic mascots, er, things, i.e. Wenlock and Mandeville? Those rejected villains from the Sarah-Jane Adventures? They look like a pair of faintly scatological cyclopean protoplasms to me.
  
  It's almost as if the designers thought "Aha! We know what will appeal to kid's sense of fair play - DANCING AMOEBAS. With an eye!" Righty-ho. Roll on 2016, we might end up with jocular multi-coloured pond leeches daubed in all the flags of the world. Except any flag with Zion on it.

  Can you imagine any child wanting to give the mascots a cuddle, or any teenager who thinks they are 'cool' enough to have them in their room, or any adult who would give them houseroom. The word peculiar springs to mind when trying to describe them.
