Talking Point

Looking at that fucking horrific logo again today, I’m reminded of a quote from “Only Forward” by Michael Marshall Smith, which went something like this:

It had been designed as a conversation point.
I think that the conversation it was designed to bring about was something like
“What the fuck is that?
“I dunno. Let’s burn it”
“Good plan”

Although the description “It looks like Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob” is brilliant, and made me laugh out loud.

And at the end of the day, it’s a far better description than the official “It symbolises the Olympic spirit and the ability of the Games to inspire people to take part – not just as spectators, but as volunteers, in the Cultural Olympiad and more.” load of bollocks.
