RANT: 2012 Olympics In A Word...

Well, at least the opening ceremony (of which I have already ranted earlier today) can be summed up in one word; that is, to quote the delectable drag queens from The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: as they enter a diabolically tacky hotel in the Australian outback, they deliciously quip:


TACKARAMA!


That sums up that opening ceremony in a nutshell. In fact, the same can be said of the logo for the 2012 London Olympics:





Has there ever been a tackier-looking logo for an Olympic Games? 


The mind boggles at what drug-addled London advertising execs came up with this monstrosity...


Tackiness is alive and well in the City of London, I see.
