    My God...............Sorry I have not been around to inform everyone of direly important news that affects everyone and the world, but, I have been in a yoga trance, contemplating Paris Hilton's dour incarceration, when low and behold, another world shaping event has entered the headlines. My God! the new logo for the Olympics is being assaulted (en masse) by the public at large! How can this be????????????? Geeeeezus, it only cost 800 thousand and only looks like s__t. What's the problem? If it's money give me 10 minutes or so in photoshop and I can fix it. If it's asthetics, give me another 10 minutes and I'll fix that. Anyway, I can fix it all for about 520 thousand. Look-it that, saved about 300 thousand and I'll still make it look like s__t!
    I like circles, especially the colored ones.

    :D

    The design should have been made up by the nations 5 yr old children by way of a competition.
    Guaranteed that the children would have come up with a far superior logo AND it would have cost a fraction of the £400m spent already.

    Please dont class that logo as modern art!!!!! its not, modern art is superb and part of our art culture and we cannot judge that hiddious logo in the same esteemed presence of Jackson Pollock, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso to Wassily Kandinsky & Paul Klee, I could go on.

    But I guess a love of art is in the eyes of the beholder, or is that beerholder! ;)




    This Olympics is going to be a bigger flop as the Millenium tent, cost the UK public a small fortune as the Olympic UK committy will want the taxpayer to bail them out as it will go over budget..... when the money would have been better spend bailing the NHS or the dire national transport system out... not to mention the poor pentioners who pay al their lives into the state to be pooped on from a great hight when they need assistance to just live for day to day.

    Whoa!! I didn't classify it as art period. It is being described "Modern Art" by the media and the creator. Not I. :p

    Paris is going back to court. Judge specifically stated that she could not be under house arrest. Hope he adds more days to her sentence.
