A sickening logo, and a [sic]kening response

There; much better. I love how people get overly worked up about things like this. I’m especially happy now that I have a place where all those idiotic comments can be published for the whole world to see.

Here’s some of my favourites:

“Do the decent thing and give us a logo we can be proud of and not this national embarrassment.”

It’s not really that embarrassing, is it? No.

“The logo lacks elegance and style; two British attributes we are very fond of. Its cheesy and not at all professional – we’ll be the laughing stock of all who see it!”

Hmmm. I think more people will laugh when they see how much of a fuss has been made over it.

The Olympic logo is just like Britain these days — second rate!! One we were a proud nation, proud of our herriatage and everything we stood for. I feel ashamed to say that I am British if that monstrosity is the best we can come up with! If this is going to be a symbol of Britains Olymics, then I truly don’t want to be British any longer. “

I mean honestly — what a complete nonce. They’re not my spelling mistakes by the way. I just can’t be bothered being [sic] all over it.
Gotta love this one though:

“400 grand? I could have achieved the same thing with 10 pints of lager and a kebab.”

Ha!

Sure, I don’t like the logo. It’s naff. But I’m not losing sleep over it. I’m not packing my bags and un-Britishing myself because some designer got it wrong. If there’s one thing that this logo tells us all, it’s that British people are just completely silly.
