That the shapes in the London olympics logo actually spell '2012'?

For the entirety of the Olympics, and since, I though they were just 4 random quadrilaterals.

Once you see its Lisa Simpson giving a blow job it can't be unseen. Grin

Peterrabbitscarrots · 07/05/2018 08:27

Or Bart and Lisa Simpson depending on how you look at it

Pedants corner; a quadrilateral is a 2D shape with 4 sides Grin

NorthernKnickers · 07/05/2018 08:54

Quad = 4 (scurries off to pedants corner 😳)

Blush me too

hildabaker · 07/05/2018 09:04

I never noticed either. It's not very attractive is it? and that's before I saw the blow job

PositivelyPERF · 07/05/2018 09:10

LokiBear · 07/05/2018 09:13

Yabu to point out 2012 was 6 years ago! How is timing moving so quickly?!

hildabaker · 07/05/2018 09:22

I wonder how much that person got paid for designing that.

Redcrayons · 07/05/2018 09:24

Can't believe I'm googling Lisa Simpson blow job on a bank holiday morning. I haven't even had a cup of coffee yet!

It has been around 25 years since I first saw Monty Python's Holy Grail, and well over 10 since the last time.

Only the other day a scene popped into my head and I realised for the first time that when one of the characters refers to the knights as "English K-niggets" K-niggets is not just some made-up insult, it was that character's mispronunciation of knights.

ThunderPunt · 07/05/2018 09:26

This thread is now on my watch list for all those other thing I hadn't realised Grin

Mitchell and Webb do a funny sketch based around it - a creative board meeting where they are trying to make it obvious to the leaders. I can't find it on YouTube though.

I'm so glad that even 6 years later it's a logo that just keeps giving.

thats what she said

TheFoodtheFadandtheFugly · 07/05/2018 09:40

What is the, um, diamond in the middle supposed to be? If the other shapes are 2012?

CatRen27 · 07/05/2018 09:55

That The Beatles isn't spelled beetles and has 'beat' in it (i was 33 when i noticed) 🙈

"Lisa Simpson giving a blow job it can't be unseen."

I never noticed that.

Charley50 · 07/05/2018 10:18

The Lisa Simpson blow job was all over the media at the time. Was a bit of a national scandal.

Flutterbyeee · 07/05/2018 10:20

If this was a site full of men talking about a child giving a blow job, there would be uproar.

Ginandplatonic · 07/05/2018 10:20

OMG it really really can't. That's all I can see now! Thank god no one pointed that out to me in 2012 when that logo was everywhere!

Justanothernameonthepage · 07/05/2018 10:39

milliemolliemou · 07/05/2018 11:26

Pedant here ... 2 pentagons, 1 sexagon (hi Lisa) and 1 septagon?
