2012 & ZION


Iran is interpreting the the new Olympics logo as zion and is threatening to boycott the Olympics.. the logo needs to be turned around and upside down etc etc to see that Zion in there!
They did the same with coco cola.. I was wondering what kind of idiots turn things around like this and interpret things - schizophrenia? !!?! beautiful minds! :P
[On second thoughts after looking at that pic -it not that hard to imagine Zion in there]

Then it occurred to me- have u seen Arabic calligraphy?

The letters can be shaped anyhow. I have seen the letters shaped as praying man and lamp etc... so... people reading Arabic scripts and calligraphy may just look at any other symbol like that and read it that way.. from all possible angles...is this cultural misunderstanding? ? Are Arabs prone to misunderstanding western symbols because of their Calligraphy?

Not that it is a good enough excuse to boycott Olympics...and create unnecessary ruckus...
