London unveils logo of 2012 Games

This thing is awful. You don’t think so? Now consider the fact that London taxpayers paid £400,000 for this Microsoft Paint-worthy junk. It looks like something that was on my “jams” in the late eighties. Those were uber-cool board shorts for the uninitiated or the too young to remember. Unfortunately they weren’t uber-cool enough to keep me from being one of the fat kids at the pool, but I digress…
The internet has labeled this design as everything from Lisa Simpson in a rather, uh, compromising position, to crappy graffiti, to something that would be more at home in a Bayside “Zach for Class President” campaign. I tend to agree with all of the above.
Bonus: The BBC aired a Goatse’d version of the logo yesterday! (Goatse - Wikipedia, no pics, SFW)

Agreed. A truly terrible logo.
And thanks so much for introducing me to the whole “Goatse” phenomenon, gosh, how could I have missed it so far?
Now I feel so… ewww. Where’s a good kitten picture when you need one? Ah… there we go. Much better now!
