inulroNot only is the new logo for the London Olympics hideous[1] (though some of the public's alternate logos were really attractive; I particularly like the one that looks like a London street sign), the promotional video triggers epileptic fits.
[1] So hideous, in fact, that I'm not posting a link to it.
Unlike many people, I've been reasonably positive about having the Olympics in England, but if they can't do something as basic as have a logo that doesn't make people puke, and get so caught up in the cleverness of their video that they don't even consider Ofcom regulations regarding flashing images, it really doesn't bode well.

But then the Olympics have been about big business sucking up tax money and crapping all over the host city for a while now, so it's not exactly inappropriate. And what's this shit about how they're going to demolish all the cheap housing in East London to build the flipping thing? I heard they'd done this in Barcelona, too...
