More evidence that the Israelis are relaxing and having a BBQ inside of the Muslims’ heads.

And of course to start it all off, "The Running of the Jew"

So Iran is boycotting the Olympics?
Who would notice?
Wouldn’t every Iranian that can run or jump or do anything athletic have gotten the hell out of that craphole of a country years ago?

I think I do see some subtle subliminal message.

That logo is ugly as hell. Has a communist flair to it, if you ask me.

My daughter had a dream a couple of nights ago about London being subjected to some sort of a gridwork of bombs in various neighborhoods all “wired” together and set to go off at the same time. I’m not saying it’s a prophecy or anything, because a dream like that could easily be no more than a rational projection of current events. But it does make one wonder whether Iran is looking for excuses not to be at the London Olympics for a reason. If this admittedly somewhat tin foil theory is correct, I’d expect them to continue finding other excuses even if the logo does get changed.

See! That proves a Zionist conspiracy.....

Looks to me like a dancing frog with his head cut off, in the mode of Picasso.

Anyone with halfway decent eyesight can clearly see that it says “Obama is a commie”!! (I cleaned that up quite a bit!)

It’s like a Rorschach test designed uncover an individuals mental state. Iran looks at it and sees Jews, which is hardly surprising, given their well known hatred of the Jewish people. You, on the other hand, see orgiastic sex acts. At least you revealed you are not an anti-zionist.

Well, I had no problem picking out "Zion" immediately. The Iranians have a point, whether one agrees with their motives or not.

I hope the logo is trashcanned...but not because of Iran. It looks like a twisted designer's apocalyptic dream of the world's continents violently exploding into space. And I think he deliberately meant it to be viewed as such....and the naive Olympic committee chumps went along with it.

The logo is ugly and unsettling....another example of all the chaotic, obscene, ugly, anti-beauty art, music, dance, architecture, sculpture, literature, etc. being foisted on us for many decades now by leftists.

The logo is patently unsuitable for the Olympic games which are supposed to project amity, good will and the universal brotherhood of athletes.

Looking closely...I think it says “mooslims want to kill you and your family”.

If you are going to play that game, you could rearrange it into a swastika too.

And to think that all this time it looked to me like the logo was calling out “Zenga Zenga”...

The logo is just a very abstract rendering of the year 2012. It’s so poorly done that you can hardly recognize what it is.

What are the odds that they replace the logo?

Let's replace it with one that spells out "IRAN SUCKS."
