Oh, dear....



??!! Logo, My Ass. No, Really.

Yesterday Bradley Steinbacher slogged about the seizure-inducing Olympic logo, but oddee.com had a different take on it. Apparently some people think the new Olympic logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving head.



Hmm. Kind of a stretch,

-snip-
Have a look at some of the images people think best represent their businesses.

6. There is some debate about that
Plenty of websites link to that picture above in one form or another, but only one site in a Google search claimed to have found the original web page, which is now an 'under construction' one.

http://www.cfh.ufsc.br/~oriente/

I put the URL into Google to see if it was cached, but it wasn't.

26. According to the wayback machine
It went under construction between April 14 and May 7, 2006. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.cfh.ufsc.br/~oriente/

Shame they don't usually archive images, but the size is about right.

11. So is that a penis or a doctor's buttcrack?
I don't want to make a guess at the wire.

I saw that last week. Until now I thought it was a joke. Wrong!

My mind is in the gutter too much.

12. Well, you can't say they're not promoting inter-cultural exchange!
Indeed, it looks like they're celebrating a glorious window through which this exchange can take place.

18. This made me laugh so hard my dog is worried about my
sanity! Good grief! They are aiming for esoteric, yin/yang and end up with cartoonish oral/anal? And if the temple is yellow, why the face/buttock/ whatever, in red? It is as ghastly as the London Olympics logo.

What is this? Are people just generating computer images? Or is this a new art trend in absurdity?

33. The sad thing is, they could have avoided the whole thing
just by giving the pagoda a layer or two of "shingles."

34. This is true! Once I 'figured out the figures' it was so
obvious. Make it look like a temple, or make the sun look like the sun. They were overkilling the few stokes oriental style at their detriment!

21. I know, you can't even tell what it's supposed to be
It's supposed to be a japanese-style roof set against the rising sun, looking very oriental. But yes, it looks like someone with a red ass getting sodomized.

24. one of the worst logos but I've seen worse






It all gets back to "what were they thinking?" I don't think that it takes a particularly dirty mind to see what's wrong here. So, what were they thinking?!?!

31. another bad one
Edited on Sun Jun-10-07 08:55 AM by jollyreaper2112
This is a REAL product, not a fake. This is the new Super Soaker, the Oozinator. Fires goo along with the water!

The original commercial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdAIt4MgnHc

Snide crack made at it by a web comic



The Lickable ad seems tame in comparison.
