"TODAY" SHOW PLAYS ANIMATION FOR 2012 OLYMPICS IN STORY ABOUT HOW THE ANIMATION TRIGGERS SEIZURES



I first saw the logo for the 2012 Olympics in London yesterday. It is one of the ugliest things ever, and I can only imagine what its creation cost.

People are calling for a redesign, kind of like they did when Atlanta's ill-fated mascot "Whatizit" was unveiled. (Yes, let's give the mascot for an international event a name that's a joke that only plays in English).

The website for the London Olympics also features a rapid, flashing animation that some are claiming causes epileptic seizures.

So how does the "Today" show cover this potential health hazard? By showing the animation, of course.
