Iran objects to the logo for the 2012 London Olympics, contending it is racist because it resembles the word "Zion" and warning of a possible boycott of the Games.

The secretary general of Iran's National Olympic Committee said Iran sent a letter to International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge. The letter claims the 2012 logo spells out "Zion," a biblical term widely recognized to refer to the city of Jerusalem.

The London logo shows the numbers "2012" in four jagged figures and until now has been criticized only for its design. The IOC said it received the letter and joined London organizers in rejecting Iran's complaint.

"Our response is as follows: The London 2012 logo represents the figure 2012, nothing else," the IOC said.

It's so ridiculous. Even by the standards of what we expect to come from Iran.

Wouldn't "Zion" by 2102?

Doesn't this logo look more like it says Zoiz?

Whatever it says, it's an ugly logo.

My response to them would be, "good ahead and boycott. Not like you're going to win anything anyway."

Don't they have to boycott if there are Israelis or homosexuals there? Oh wait...homosexuals aren't real. I forgot the lessons of Iran.

I think if you throw an X and Y in there somewhere, it's a secret code for Mike Tyson's Punch Out on Nintendo.

Iran has pretty good wrestlers.

Funny how their best sport is also the most homoerotic.

Let's all thank Jimmy Carter for breaking the country and single-handedly giving birth to the genesis of Radical Islam.

Looks like a logo you'd see on a can of hairspray circa 1987.
