Olympinonsense

[Caliban]

We have just been treated to the first airing of the full BBC Olympic trailer/advert on BBC1 - not sure I can sit through this again and again for weeks to come!

Haven't seen that but I thought the writing was on the wall (literally) years ago when they 'unveiled' that ridiculous logo, now to be seen all over in pastel pink and turquoise. It looked stupid from day 1 but we were told it anticipated future design trends bla bla bla.

It still looks stupid and indecipherable.

Without exception, no foreign visitor I've talked to has realised that it is meant to represent '2012', and has laughed when informed of the fact.

Hideous.

I initially wondered what a Lloyds Bank advert was doing on the BBC. Those things lost their charm a long time ago, and I'm not sure the Limpics trailer has any to start with.

Half of the ads currently on TV that catch me out manage to have some banal and probably irrelevant reference to the limp pics attached. It's getting ridiculous.

that ridiculous logo

... everyone I have spoken to on the subject has 'seen' the logo as a kneeling Liza Simpson performing a sexual act (probably illegal in a dozen States) on an unknown seated person.

Perhaps it's just the sort of people with whom I associate...

You cad sir! How dare you, or those you mix with, suggest that the blessed Lisa might abandon the saxamophone in favour of the pink oboe!

Egad, they're right!

No, I can see where they're coming from...... as they say.

The word for which, I assume, I can never pronounce, it being too much of a mouthful
