Iranians Are Seeing Things

Look closely - what do you see?
Iran says the logo for the London Olympics says "Zion":
Iran objects to the logo for the 2012 London Olympics, contending it is racist because it resembles the word "Zion" and warning of a possible boycott of the games.

The secretary general of Iran's National Olympic Committee said Iran sent a letter to International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge. The letter claims the 2012 logo spells out "Zion," a biblical term widely recognized to refer to the city of Jerusalem.
The Olympic organizers aren't buying it:
"Our response is as follows: The London 2012 logo represents the figure 2012, nothing else," the IOC said.
I guess we'll just have to get along without all those Iranian gold medal winners.

Well, now, if one has a dirty mind, or read about how dirty that 2012 logo is, one can see that it's NSFW.
