Twitter features Olympics FAIL

[Dean]

Twitter have changed their landing/home page regarding the Olympics and it's lacking one thing... the official London 2012 logo! Apparently "NBC's London 2012" logo is good enough. I think not! How ridiculous.

I heard NBC have rubbish coverage of the Olympics as well and they cut parts of the opening ceremony! SHAME ON THEM.

They also don't show the main events until prime time meaning most of it isn't live... haha. They refused to show one of the finals live and then they showed an advert of an interview announcing the results. What a fail :P

meh, the rings are enough tbf.

yeah, i heard they cut out the tribute which was pretty disrespectful. just imagine if it was the other way round, and we cut out the 9/11 tribute. i don't even want to imagine the ****storm that'd follow!!

Our logo sucks so not a huge problem really, but yeah cutting out the entire 7/7 tribute to go to an interview with an AMERICAN HERO!!!!!!! FREEDOM!!!!!!! is ridiculous

Yeah, they would actually complain about that so much as well.

I bet you have it spot on actually. The Olympic Committee actually sue people who wrongly use the logo :P

They have the rings though, so surely that would also count for that?

Or maybe since Twitter is an American company they just used the NBC one.

Probably too thick to realise it's not the real one :P

I think they pulled all coverage of the womens water polo because someones boob fell out underwater. And even then you had to look multiple times to even realise.

LOL Not enough at all.

It kinda urks me for some silly reason that Twitter have the USA Olympic team emblem on the page, would make sense if it were visible to only users in the US but it's not.
