Hate the 2012 London Olympics logo? Boycott it with Ben Way's help
Around Shiny Towers we love 26-year-old entrepreneur Ben Way something silly, and it’s not just because we used to share an office with him. No, it’s for his great schemes, like this new un’ he launched via Facebook today. Plus, he’s rather easy on the eye.
We already know how horrible the Lisa-Simpson-performing-fellatio-esque 2012 London Olympics logo is, but Ben hates it for a different reason – because of the sponsors, Lloyds TSB being one of them. He is pledging £1 of his own money (he was a millionaire at 15, so can definitely afford it), for every person who signs up via the Facebook campaign or on the Boycott Olympic Sponsors site, with all funds going towards changing the logo. I’ve signed up on Facebook, and hated Lloyds TSB anyway, so if this is something you’d like to support, get cracking.

Ooh hark at the poor little rich boy.
Quite why are we supposed to be boycotting the sponsors? Because of the logo? Because they’re evil for other reasons? If the latter, then tell us what they are (I see Lloyds TSB are the only known sponsor so far anyway)
The logo isn’t going to go because some millionaire gives about 0.001% of his income to print a few “boycott T-shirts”.
Why not put the energy to something important like tackling poverty or genocide? This rich kid nonsense really gets on my nerves. Lord Coe has spent his money and he’s not about to change his mind even though he’s been well and truly “had” on this one.
I’m sure we’ll all be used to the stupid ‘cool’ design in five years’ time, anyway.
