Iran threatens to boycott olympics over "racist" logo

[Puppycow]

I didn't think much of the logo before, but now I love it. Brilliant!

The button with the with the mushroom cloud. Then the one with the black skull. Then the one with the picture of the 7th Iman. Simple. A monkey could do it.

Thanks! I've often wanted to set off a nuke, but I never thought I'd get anybody's permission!

 

[Darat]

I'm totally with the Iranians on this - I demand that the 2012 Olympics be cancelled right now!

And if you think the logo is bad - have you seen the mascots?

Those are the mascots? Ugh. And just think, they actually rejected my suggestion and the sketches I sent them of Porgles the Permanently Priapic Pig. Now there's a mascot people can respect.

Wow. That's...Wow.

I see the UK is approaching the Olympics with the same grace and dignity with which they approach Eurovision.

The Eurovision people didn't like Porgles, either. Nor did the chain of "family style" barbecue restaurants. I come up with a perfectly good mascot and nobody wants it. The world's gone mad, I tell you.

Dammit! They figured it out. That ruins our plan to spread zionism via bad graphics. I guess they won't be fooled by our new Broadway show, Bring in 'Da Noiz, Bring in 'Da Chutzpah.

Sincerely,
The evil Zionists.

Dear Evil Zionists,

I don't suppose you'd have any use for a mascot of an excessively friendly pig? His name is Porgles and you could use him to promote your evil, or whatever. Let me know. Also I have other intellectual properties for sale, like Helga the Murderous Hippo. All family-friendly, happy mascots that would ideal for your organization.

Love,
TragicMonkey

Kang and Kodos! Kodos claims to be Jewish. It's all coming together now!

"Nincompooper! Is upside-down!!!"

 

[I Ratant]

They know they can't win anything, so it's their way of forfeiting.

.
It's just more of the perpetual Islamic self-inflicted victimhood, finding something else they can't do, and complaining that they can't do it.

 

[Policenaut]

Ahmadinejad is still pissed about Matrix Reloaded. Also I guess this is a bad time to introduce the new trophies that will take the place of olypmic medals:

Dear Mr./Ms T. Monkey,
Thank you so kindly for your offer of some mascots for our evil plan to take over the world. With reference to the "Porgles" character, we must of course decline. It's a pig and we're zionists. Not quite kosher. On the other handle Helga the Murderous Hippo does have some promise. We are thinking a Cartoon Channel series to brainwash the youth and the nerds. Unfortunately for you, we are evil. So we will just be stealing Helga.

Thank you for your inquiry and death to all who oppose us.

Your truly,
the Evil Zionists

They didn't like him because he was stuck up.

 

[twinstead]

I'm still confused. Did I miss something? Does Iran claim the logo looks like the English word "Zion", or that it looks like the Persian word for "Zion"?

And wouldn't real Zionists be writing in Hebrew anyway?

Ah, indeed.

The truth is finally revealed. It was the jooz after all:

The English word. It looks like:

ZO
I N

With the N being askew.
