As if the crap the London 2012 Olympic Organizing Committee received over this week’s release of its much-maligned logo weren’t enough, now eight reported cases of epileptic seizures caused by the logo’s supporting video have caused the organization to pull the video. Epilepsy photo sensitivity expert Graham Harding explained, “What it appears has happened is that the flash rate of the diving sequence contravenes the Ofcom guidelines.” Odds makers have given the logo 10-1 odds it will be replaced by year’s end.
