Twitter features Olympics FAIL

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

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?

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.

Nli.

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.
