#7 The Olympic organizers should IMMEDIATELY replace the symbol with a more appropriate one. I suggest this design from the roof of a building in Iran. |

| #4 To me it looked like that item on the buffet table you see from a few servings away and looks bad, then you get to it and the smell just makes ya want to get away as fast as possible. Ha, now SP1762's link has a whole new take on it. |

| #3 Man o man, these people are weird. Never in a thousand years would I have deduced "Zion" from a scribble of 2012. |
