Apparently Iran are considering boycotting 2012 because the logo looks like Zion (Israel to you and i) .. would we actually notice if Iran competed or not??

I always thought the cartoon that appeared of Lisa Simpson noshing off Bart in the shape of the logo was much closer than Zion in anycase
 
The allegations of it resembling the word Zion have been around for years... Ties in with allegations that the London Olympics are some New World Order conspiracy to rebuild Jerusalem in London.
 
With Iran out, I think our chances of getting 50 gold medals have increased immeasurably!
 
How many personal number plates have slightly re-arranged numbers?

2012 Z012 ZOIN ZION bit contrived to say the least though.
 
LOL - if I were Jacques Rogge, I'd be sorely tempted to write a short letter back to Ahmedinajad as follows:

Dear Mr. President,

Your latest outburst reminded me of a spoilt toddler. Please grow up, for heaven's sake.

Oh, and if you do take your ball away, no one will miss you.

Love

Jacques
