LONDON (AP) - An animated display of London's jigsaw-style 2012 Olympics logo, which has drawn an unfavorable public response, was removed from an official Web site Tuesday following concern it could trigger epileptic seizures.  http://msn.foxsports.com/olympics/st...84562?MSNHPHMA
Am I alone in thinking I could have puked something that looks better? It freaking cost $800K!!!

Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.

It took me a minute to realize that it was a 2012. I could have come up with something just as ugly for half the price!

Ad agencies are a huge rip off. The State of New Jersey paid $600,000 for the slogan "New Jersey: "Come See For Yourself."
No one liked it so they held a contest and the winner was "We'll Win You Over."
Not much better, but they only had to pay the contest winner with 2 tickets to a Nets or Devils game and a two night stay at Trump National Golf course. |
