Hope it is an April fool.

Me too... TBH I'd rather have had a 200ft thumbs down sculpture.

I thought the world was coming to an end then anyway, who cares.

That's absolutely hideous. It may be a great engineering feat, but that borders on an eyesore

.

I doubt it's an april fool as it was posted on the 31st March, and they would go to all the trouble of a video.

Looks crap, just like 2012 logo. The whole thing is going to be fail.

It will be a spectacular fail on a world stage.

****.

I really like it. It looks like somone has mangled the Eifel Tower.

Edit: Also loving the amount of people on here saying that the Olympics are going to be a huge failure. What happened to any kind of sense of national pride?

If the Blackpool Tower went three rounds with Godzilla....

Looks like the Polish builders did not tighten the scaffolding up correct.

JaffaJedi · 1 Apr 2010 at 12:56

Shame its hideous

Did you watch the Vancouver Olympics? Exactly what have the UK got to put in an opening/closing ceremony to be 'nationally proud' of?

Racism? Fish and chips? Chavs? Oh yeah... Brian May and red double-decker buses. Great.

I think it is something that will grow on me. Something that will never grow on me is the '2012' graphic
