New Delhi: £4,00,000 down the drain - that's what critics are calling it in London as the England capital's 2012 Olympic logo had to be pulled out.
After severe criticism the logo has been pulled off as it might trigger epileptic fits. The logo which cost £400,000 was made up of four jagged pieces that form the numbers 2012. It was reported that people had seizures while watching these animated visuals. The organising committee will now re-edit the film.
"The clip that was put together that triggered these epileptic fits. It was done by a firm that does this, that's their normal job, and therefore there will be some really strong questions about why didn't they check this? When people go to a firm to make a promotional film like that you assume they know what the laws and rules are, and I think they've got some difficult questions to answer," Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London said.
Tennis
He has missed the French Open, and now has pulled out of the Stella Artua Championship, and also is in doubt for the Wimbledon which begins on June 25. Andy Murray injured his wrist at the Hamburg Masters last month. The Scot, ranked 11th in the world, has been undergoing intensive treatment in an effort to get back on to the court at the earliest.
Formula One
F-1 cars are vrooming at the Villeneuve Circuit in preparations for the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday. And Ferrrari is hotting up to the challenge of McLaren's 15 points lead. The prancing horses are ready with a new aerodynamic package, and fresh aggression from Kimi Raikkonen who believes he can win the 2007 Drivers' Championship.
