From Daily Kos:

Light Emitting Pickle's diary :: ::

So, the London 2012 Olympic logo has been released:


2012 Olympics logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving head.

Here's the Facebook version. With appropriate colouring. And Lisa's ubiquitous pearl necklace. OMG OMG OMG

If they don't change that logo, I'm going to burst out laughing every time I see it. What's seen; can't be unseen.

1. Is her pearl neckace really ubiquitous, though?

[rug]

3. Only when she's finished.

[baldguy]

.

:rofl: :rofl:

:spank:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

42. Cue the ZZ Top song....

"She wore a pearl necklace..."


:rofl:

[peekaloo]

17. Thanks.

coffee in the nasal cavity. :D

[tavalon]

18. IBTL

LOL!!!

[Orrex]

30. Zing!

:rofl:

[fl_dem]

2. hilarious!!

[KittyWampus]

4. stupid and sophomoric and no matter how hard I try, can't see Lisa.

.....

[Are_grits_groceries]

5. Excuse me?

I don't have one thank you very much.

[KittyWampus]

9. yeah, I deleted that. It was obnoxious. Sorry, but this was a giant FAIL for me...

you win some, lose some.

[Are_grits_groceries]

11. And some get rained out.

:hi:

[glowing]

10. Now that I can see it, I can't stop seeing it..

[Warpy]

6. My first thought was a simple "ugh, who dreamed that horrible thing up?"

The shape is ugly and the colors are jarring.

Now that the imagery has been pointed out to me, I'll be less offended by bad design and more amused by unintended smut.

[KittyWampus]

28. cartoon smut?

who knew?

Oh, wait. The Japanese have made an artform of it.

[Ruby the Liberal]

38. I could have written this post.

What a horrendous logo. Yikes!

Of course, now that I see the Lisa Simpson angle, it is very funny.

But still ugly as all get out.

[Danmel]

7. WTF?

I think you are trying too hard. Really.

[Are_grits_groceries]

8. It was pointed out by the diarist.

Once it was mentioned, I confess I did laugh. String me up from the highest horse.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. If you ask me, the fact that you were amused by that immediately flags you as...

...one of the good guys gals. :toast:

K&R too.

[Are_grits_groceries]

13. I hope they don't change it. nt

[GCP]

14. Even if people don't see the Lisa Simpson thing

It's still an abomination.
I seriously hope they re-think this.

[Are_grits_groceries]

15. I thought the unintended imagery

is the only saving grace. The actual logo taken as a design isn't my cup of tea. The colors were noxious.

[rurallib]

16. Will the Simpson's sue?

it almost looks like Bart is the receiver.
What is the title of this little bit of art ? "Lisa Blows London" would be my suggestion.

[tavalon]

20. I don't think Bart will sue

He's at that age that um, even giving his sister a pearl necklace, could be worth it.

[ThatsMyBarack]

19. What were they smoking?!

:wtf:

[enlightenment]

21. They released this last year. Why is Kos posting it now?

Hysterically funny comments from Londoners at the time.

[tavalon]

22. Somebody was really stoned last night?

[Berry Cool]

24. Yeah, the logo has been out for some time now. It wasn't just released.

Kossack acting like an attention whore?

[muriel_volestrangler]

26. Over 2 years ago, in fact

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=191x21374

And the Simpson interpretation weas remarked on then.

The rumoured fee for the logo? £400,000.

[enlightenment]

34. Was it two years?

Damn. The older I get, the faster the time flies!

[madokie]

23. What have you got on your mind this morning?

:rofl:

[Are_grits_groceries]

25. Nothing much until I saw that post.

I'm glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee or there would have gone the computer monitor.

[muriel_volestrangler]

27. Or there's the Sportsfest 2010 logo:

[Hatchling]

29. Oh. My. Gawd.

:rofl:

[NightWatcher]

31. it looks like an Mtv log from the 80's

[begin_within]

32. Aside from that, it's just plain bad design.

In my opinion anyway. Looks like something that should have been left in the "also submitted" bin. It's like they couldn't figure out how to integrate the "London" and the Olympic rings so they just dropped it in somewhere.

[Mira]

33. I.So. See.It Who is Lisa Simpson? n/t

[Xithras]

35. For you, and others, unfamiliar with Lisa Simpson...a comparison

What makes this so terrible is the fact that there are literally THOUSANDS of toon-porn images of Lisa on the Internet already, so toon-pervs already had the image in their heads.

[dixiegrrrrl]

37. That helps, now I get it.

Sorry I got it, but now I do see it.

[Mira]

40. Oh my God. Now that I know, what do I do with this info? It is hysterically funny

the fact you caught it is also damn good, and as you or somebody said, once you see it you can't "unsee" it.
I will think of you every time I do see it, in the future.

What a crappy design.

[marmar]

36. I'm a huge fan of modern art, but that's a mess.....

[Odin2005]

39. I see 2 people dancing.

:rofl:

[RubyDuby in GA]

41. I was pretty sure you were going to say the Blue Sperm Farting Stars of 1996

Or as some people call it - Izzy.



For the life of me, I can't find an image of it that truly displays the awfulness that I speak of. Leading up to the 1996 Olympics, the Atlanta Police Department had that awful mascot logo on the side of their cars, only the stars were trailing behind the mascot thereby making it look like a blue sperm farting stars.

God that was an awful logo and I for one am most thankful for the moran that came up with the 2012 logo that will take its rightful place at the top of the list of worst olympic logos/mascots above Izzy.
