2012 Olympic logo a Zionist promo?
Check out this discussion (copy/paste and remove the space):
http:/ /forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messageboard.viewThread&entry ID=2728246&adTopicID=16&categoryID=69&IsSticky=0&M ytoken=944876C8-D9F0-4D97-AD6FA404D532D89A96506326 The basic premise of the argument is that the pieces of the 2012 Olympic logo can be manipulated to spell the word "Zion". What do you think? |

I think anyone who thinks that is significant or deliberate is a mentally retarded creduloid.
There is nothing else to say about the zion letters. Those who like to fold dollar bills and claim to see the World Trade Centre burning are also mentally retarded creduloids. Same idea. See whatever you like in whatever you like and claim significance. In the floral pattern of my grandmother's sofa there is a creepy old man's face that used to scare me when I was a kid. Must be intentional, right? Oh, for the record, the agency that designed the 2012 logo also designed the Athens 2004 Olympics logo, which was a laurel wreath. Perhaps someone would like to read something significant into that, too. |

I agree with tkingdoll, and would also add that there is a previous thread about this from a couple of weeks ago.
It is utterly ludicrous to find it surprising, let alone shocking, unusual or conspiratorial about the fact that the numbers 0, 1, and 2 can resemble the letters O, I, N, and Z. Let's see, the number 0 looks like the letter O? OMG! The number 1 looks like the letter I? OMG! The number 2 looks like the letter Z? OMG! The number 2 looks like the letter N if you turn it 90 degrees? OMG! Conspiracy!!!111eleventyjoooos! |

If there was a conspiracy, it was to rip off the city of London. That is one ugly, ugly logo.

No fella its based on the Tiswas logo.
Tiswas was a kids tv show which ran from the late 70's to early 1980s, it featured Chris Tarrant, Lenny Henry, Sally James, and the Phantom flan flinger, its logo was very similar to the olympic logo. http://www.tiswasonline.com |

That's a very fascist looking letter "S".
Which might explain those adolescent fantasies I used to have about Sally James and thigh high boots. Damn the NWO and it's corruption of yoof. |

London IOC officially rubber stamps 2012 games
even before the first race is rigged (see Phelps v Cavic 08), or the Gold medals shaved... the message has been sent loud and clear.

Agreed, it's crap, and I live in the UK, it's embarrassing.
Heaven help us if that logo is setting the theme for the whole of the London games. Actually, having Zionist (as defined by CTers)-themed Olympics will probably be an improvement. I hesitate to raise this.... but can't resist it... any ideas for '2012=Zion '-themed games? |

indeed, you have to be a real paranoid loon, to think this is a "Zionist" plot.

IMHO it's a good example of terrible logo design, but a Zionist plot
Don't know the ethnic background of the people who designed that atrocity, but whatever it is they need to find a new profession , fast. |

OMG!!!
If you take 2012, change the 0 and 1, and turn the last 2 on it's side, it spells ZION!!!! Clearly a NWO plot! Genius! |

If you want to find things that are ACTUALLY hidden in logos, take a look at the FedEx logo or the Hartford Whalers logo or the Coffee Beanery logo. This Olympic logo is simply an ugly logo. Nothing more, nothing less.

As one poster already stated, the only Conspiracy was one to defraud the City of London by making them pay for this crap.
