No, it's not a joke! I wonder if Iran's National Olympic Committee will replace my keyboard and monitor!

BTW, this is the offending logo:

When it first came out some people saw a swastika in it.

1. Iran’s complaint is (as usual) stupid, but I do hope they will boycott just so we’re rid of them.

2. The logo is pretty stupid too. I could just as easily find “lion”, “loin”, “lols” or “lolz”, and many other things. Personally, I don’t see the point in this logo at all.

I had an image of mohammad getting it from a goat tatooed on my teabag. Gee, I wonder if that will upset the islamers?

It clearly says “2012”. It’s ugly, though.

I am willing to bet that if you take enough opium, it would spell out anything you want it to.

That must be written in persian or farsi or arabic for the determination to be Zion. what is with the colors pink and yellow. The Gay Olympic Gmes or what. maybe the Iranians are nore upset that color represents and the interprer get the words like the US Deparment did with RESET button.

all the British have to do is contact Staples and press the EASY and everything will be alright in the world. Unfortunately London will spend lots of money on the Olymics and the state of the world will cause a cancellation.

Iran will strive to dictate throughout the World because America’s weak kneed-lily livered- pansy butt - president is more concerned about his re-election than he is about anything else in America or for the world, if that matters anymore.

My ten year-old grandson could create a better looking logo.

This will be a nice test, does the Oly-Com fold or ignore this silliness?

If Iran boycotts the games, then the gold in Beheading will be a tossup between Pakistan and Yemen. Butchery should go to the Iraqis, although the Afghans are coming on strong in the prelims, and Indonesia has the Suicide Bombing team event locked up.

Putin Inc. was soo disgusted with the weird teletubby mascots originally selected, they put it to a vote (yes Russian style were people waste the time to vote, and Putin Inc. selects the winner). Here is the final mascots for the Russian winter olympics and they actually aren't too bad. The bear, snow leapord, and rabbit are their olympics mascots. The fire boy and snowflake girl are the special olympics mascots.

compare these to the absolutely bizarre London Olympics mascots which has the world saying, "WTF???"

The London Olympic Committee paid someone good money to design THAT??? I’d ask for a refund.

It’s pretty bad as far as logo’s go, but Zion? Not seeing it.

And Iran, STFU, we’ve had enough of your silly crap.
