Yes, I think the UK should change this stupid mascot, not because of the word ZION but because it's dreadful looking! :D

I think it should be banned too - not because it is racist, but because it looks silly.

Some point out that it looks like Lisa Simpson performing oral s.ex..!! :shock:

:D

I think all the nations should boycott London 2012, until they get logo that doesn't look like a hand painting by a 1st grader.

Iran just needs an excuse to make noise. If it wasn't the logo, they would say the mascots are homo's

Its ugly I will give you that but what's the issue if it does spell Zion - it means Jerusalem right? Its a holy city for every religion.

Apparently this logo has been designed in year 2007; I don't know why the government just realized that they should boycott the Olympic!

you r too sensitive FD, and you take the words the way you want to hear them...

BY the way I am not a fan of Iran (don't hate, but not a fan), and my comment
hehe... Iran has a sense of humor :D..
has nothing to do with Iran hating Jew or not (do you know there is Iranian Jew?) please correct me if wrong..

I was actually making fun of Iran justifying their boycott coz the logo looks like Zion... so stupid in my opinion...

One more thing, does Zion=Jew?

Yes I did. I just always find it very amuzing people asking questions to which they think the answer already to. It must come from a deep pit of insecurity. When they donot like the answer, they appear to have a very strong opinion about it. Don't ask, just state you opinion, otherwise you are just looking for conformation of insecure thoughts.

But anyways, yes Zion is related to Jewish self-determination, and thats why Iran doesn't like it.

Its no big secret Iran is against zionism, but seeing 2012 in really ugly fonts as zion and then getting upset about is indeed funny.

It's a pretty ugly logo by all accounts. But I'm not sure which bright spark can see 'zion' in there. Iran have had how many years to kick up a stink? And they only do it now? Fine boycott, because no one is going to miss them anyway.

You're being TOO sensitive towards ANYTHING to do with Jews as if you were from the very core of a nationalistic Jewish-Israeli party.
How pathetic. Seriously, its your lame attitude that is more funny than that ugly logo.

MoreOver, no one even asked for your opinion about whats funny and whats not :shock:

I'm with FD! I don't like Jew-hate either! Sorry I know no-one asked my opinion but I've expressed it anyway!
Sorry Sym! How are you by the way? :D

As for the Olympics, can someone remind me which sports the Iranians excel in? (Sorry Mel, no disrespect!)

Hello BM! I'm good, thanks. How are you? ;)

We Iranians have excelled in better things than sport, such as ..
Mathematics (modern numerics and zero), Medicines, Art, Music, Linguistics, we were the first to invent trousers and even ice-cream :mrgreen:

In terms of sport, Iranians made a sport of their own, Polo! ;)

Mahmoud, I know lots of International companies had to stop their business in Iran becuase of sanctions recently. I hope it didn't affect your company.
