Olympic Boycott
It's often said that some of these islamic countries are behind the times. In the case of Iran 4 years, it would seem. They've suddenly decided that the 4 year old olympic logo spells Zion.
Olympic Logo Is ‘Racist’, Claims Iran | Londonist

Re: Olympic Boycott
I can see ZIOZ there, and NIOZ. And ZIOR and ZOIR. If I use my imagination and ignore some of the squiggles, I can just about make out ZION.
But first and foremost I see 2012. Boris has a lot to answer for! |

Re: Olympic Boycott
It's a bit of a poor do this is the only planned boycott.
When the U.S.S.R. invaded Afghanistan, half the world stayed away from the Moscow Olympics in 1980. We won medals. It was like Chariots of Fire, but with nylon sportswear, wedge haircuts, and a Tory instead of a Jew. Come on! We've waged a war on terror. Please support your downtrodden brothers, and stage a mass boycott.
