In the 2012 Olympics logo. (Picture in the story.)

Apparently, they think it says "Zion". Honestly, you could argue they're right IF you look at the letters from various positions. However, you can always see ANYTHING if you look hard enough.

Show someone any picture, any book, any anything, and they'll find whatever they're looking for: racism, religion, sex, etc.

I didn't see Zion. But, I didn't see 2012 either. At most, I saw zoiz.

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.

Well shit, that changes everything. Without the Iranian athletes to raise the level of competition to its highest, these games will surely be considered an international joke.
