Well, the Camel cig pack has the word CHOICE on the bottom in block letters. If you show it to someone and then put it in front of a mirror, they are astounded to see that the letters are still readable as CHOICE, unlike everything else you hold up to a mirror. Trick is, you flip it upside down before you put it to the mirror...oh and the person has to be drunk enough not to notice that, but not so drunk they can’t read.

I assumed them seeing the camel would be akin to them looking at porn. My bad.

Oh f**k them and the camel they slept with last night.

Who gives a rat’s ass about what the damned Iranians think? Tell ‘em to pound sand or don’t send an Olympic team. Frikkin’ losers never have a chance at a medal anyway...why even go?

It’s also been pointed out that from the right angle it looks like Lisa and Bart Simpson doing something that brothers and sisters shouldn’t be doing.

And not because it's gay?

Keith Haring was definitely an influence.

True. The Beslan semi-finals sure uncovered some talent. And don’t ever write off Syria, Turkey, or the independent teams from Hezbollah and Palestine. They can usually be counted on for at least bronzes in the Mayhem events.

I like it too. About the only thing I’ll ever agree with Putin on.

It was the camel’s nose. It was a giant penis.

Are you familiar with “Rorschach Test” (aka inkblot. A variation of it is known as TAT: Thematic Apperception Test) ?

RT & TAT, as used by some psychologists, basically aim to determine one’s cognitive (thinking) processes, personality traits, and motivation. Most often they are used to gauge how different groups/individuals or an individual “perceive/s” the world/environment surrounding them, projects their own beliefs onto it, potentially reacts to it & solves problems.

This logo is a good RT/TAT test, not only for the Iranian regime but also for others. Obviously, the response from the regime in Iran interpreting the image (logo) as “Zion” can be considered a “classic” & very much in support of their anti-zionism rhetoric!

Forget the zionist message. This has got to be the butt-ugliest logo I have ever seen. And they probably paid millions of pounds for it.
