Where one person might see the year 2012, another might see a more ominous tone.  The nation of Iran, who sees Jewish conspiracies under every rock, in every haircut, and around every corner, has found another pro-Jewish conspiracy, this time imbedded in the promotional materials for London’s 2012 Olympics.  Iran has accused the London Olympics of being a Zionist conspiracy after reading the 2012 logo as ‘Zion’, which is a popular slang term for Israel.  Iran has written an angry letter to the International Olympic Committee in an attempt to get London castigated over their offensive logo.

Here’s what Iran’s official news organization, the Student News Agency, said in a press release concerning the issue:  “As internet documents have proved, using the word Zion in the logo of the 2012 Olympic Games is a disgracing action and against the Olympics’ valuable mottos.  There is no doubt that negligence of the issue from your side may affect the presence of some countries in the Games, especially Iran which abides by commitment to the values and principles.”

If that makes sense to you, then you’re as crazy as the Iranian Olympic protesters, whose mystery Internet documents have thus far have not been revealed.  I can only assume that is because Iranian government interests are currently hurrying to create said documentation in some kind of secret government Photoshop lab.

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
