Because there are lots of Pink Swastikas floating around!

.

Animated Web 2.0 version. Looks even moar like buttsecks.

The £400,000 craptastrophe.

The superior logo that made its way to the BBC.

Look at it.

Oh god.

It all began Last Thursday when officials revealed the new hip London 2012 Olympics logo to the public. This new logo was supposed to be urban, awesome, active and extreme, however it turned out to be one of the most ghastly sights since Janet Jackson's nipple piercing. The cost of the campaign to British taxpayers was apparently a whopping £400,000 (about $790,000); yes it cost that much for someone to make 2 abstract lines with 2 highlighters.

The public's reaction was nothing short of outrage, and there were mentions of it looking like "a broken swastika" [1][2]. It's amazing how the campaign was so bad that it has brought back nightmares of World War 2 and the holocaust. In fact, if you look at the design closely, it looks like two people having buttsecks. You see it now!

None of the british public like it, A 13 year old boy could've done better for a fiver!

Fan Created Designs

Due to increasing outrage over this logo, there have been many different fan versions of the logo submitted to the main site and others. Most of them were equally shitty and full of fail, however there was one design that stood out among the others:

Yes, someone was smart enough to employ the iconic Goatse design to their submission, creating one of the greatest and lulzworthy logos ever made. This design even made it on to live television. YouTube had the broadcast video, but it was quickly removed. The person who submitted this was a poster on the British imageboard B3ta, where goatse is a meme.

Animated Epilepsy Version

Now if the standard logo wasn't bad enough, the official website had a flash animation of the logo in action. Turns out that the animated version involving a diver flashed so rapidly that it caused epileptic fits across Britain, just like what Pokemon did to Japan and the Church of Scientology did to the Epilepsy Foundation. The site removed the offending animation because they are a bunch of pussies, but we at ED have backed up a segment of the animation for those still interested in what it feels like to have a seizure.

A Challenger appears: Chicago 2016!.... oh shit it's Rio 2016

As we speak, President Obama, his wife and Oprah Winfrey are in Copenhagen petitioning for Chicago to be the location for the 2016 games. Because Obama feels that why should Greece and England have all the fun and keep graft and waste ridden athletic competitions to themselves, and he needs to feed his ego by being a president that opens a Olympic games. If the city wins, new logos and the city's tradition in political crony-ism and corruption will make great potential for LULZ indeed.

This just in.....Chicago just got voted out on the first round. There goes fellow Chicagoian Marc Griffin's High Caliber Table Game, Bulletball becoming a Olympic Sport. But Rio does have shanty town slums, beaches hot bitches and child prostitution network that even ACORN would evny. This raises Pedobear's hopes that Bangkok Thailand will one day get the games.
