| subject: | Brit Olympic logo triggers epileptic seizures? |
From: Rich Gauszka why is it that most countries, including the US, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars dreaming up an Olympic logo and manage to screw it up? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=460 205&in_page_id=1770 A spontaneous public revolt over the controversial 2012 Olympic logo broke out yesterday with organisers facing mounting calls to scrap the design. As nearly 30,000 people signed a petition demanding that the œ400,000 image be axed, Olympic chiefs were forced to pull a promotional video amid warnings it had triggered at least ten cases of epilepsy. Experts said the garish launch film had led to a number of seizures with others reporting feeling "uncomfortable" after experiencing vomiting or headaches. Within hours of the logo's launch on Monday, the Internet was flooded with hundreds of alternative designs from members of the public angry at the official choice. --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 5030/786 @PATH: 379/45 1 633/267 |
