London Olympic Logo promo triggers seizures

Ok. I've watched the footage about 5 times. No seizure here...
But it does churn my stomach. A half-assed homage to early 80's MTV.

[www.guardian.co.uk]

Animated footage promoting the London 2012 Olympics is being removed from its official website amid claims that it could trigger epileptic seizures, organisers said.

Organisers have hailed it as dynamic and vibrant, but other people have said it resembles a "toileting monkey" or a "broken swastika".

Speaking on BBC London 94.9, London Mayor Ken Livingstone said: "I mean if you employ someone to design a car and it kills you, you're pretty unhappy about that. If you employ someone to design a logo for you and they haven't done a basic health check you have to ask what they do for their money."

Gotta love Red Ken, normally he is way off base but for once he hit the head on the nail, lol.

No fair posting this story w/o the offending video. (which means I can't find it) ;)
