Oh no! Whatever will they do without Iran? How could the Olympics possibly go on without them???

Zion? Really? Thats a ####ing stretch. They are really reaching on this one. They're looking for something to bitch about.

hahahaha that's awesome! Seriously, where do they come up with this stuff??

My favourite was some news story from a couple years ago talking about what they're (mis)teaching people over there about the West, and an actual Iranian news report claimed the soft drink company PEPSI stood for "Pinch Every Penny to Save Israel". That's impressive, considering Pepsi predates the modern state of Israel by over 50 years.

As far as the Olys go, well Iran, see ya later!

Yeah, once that was brought up originally, I've never been able to look at it any differently now.

I can see it. And since

20
12

does kind of look like ZION if you go 210-rotated 2, I assume Iran believes the modern calendar is a pro-Isreal conspiracy too.

Only because she is both unmarried and doing it in public.

And here are the 2012 mascots. If anyone has a right to be pissed, it is Matt Groening.

A country in the middle east getting offended. Say it ain't so. Well I'm damn offended with how they treat women...and well people in general. Human rights isn't their strong point. I hope they don't show up.
