The offending logo. Odd, though, it doesn't look like Farsi. Maybe they think Johnny Hart drew it.

What are the odds that they replace the logo?

Seems like an Islamofascist boycott would be a good thing.

The Olympics won’t be the same without the world-class athletes of Iran.

For the first time in my life, I agree with the Iranians. . .not because it looks like “Zion”. . but because it looks like “CRAP”

>> which Tehran claims spells out the word “Zion”.

They can’t honestly believe this.

My guess is it’s psy-ops. They’re seeing how pliable the uber-politically-correct Brits are, and how far they can be pushed before they say No.

Because everyone knows that a 2 can be both a Z and and N at the same time.

I have a better reason to replace it: it is just about the ugliest logo I have ever seen.

Every sign and object an Iranian sees is “Zion”.

They may need to learn to read.

Maybe they have teacher unions in Iran too, if so, I guess they’d be excused.

Iran claims London 2012 Olympics logo spells the word 'Zion'

They're just afraid that they can't win against Neo.

It is a terrible logo. But if that those arse-hats in Iran want it removed then I’m all for it.

I doubt that.

London is already referred to as Londonistan and it is too PC to even conceive of such a thing.

I think if I look at it long enough it will look like the word, “Zion” in Hebrew. Yeah, there’s a Zayin! Hey look, a Yud! And on the bottom left is a Vav. And over on the right is a Nun. Yep, it’s Zion alright!
