Rather brilliantly, Mayor Ken Livingstone has come out and publicly said that the London-based LIVE agency that made the 2012 logo film that has been causing epileptic fits should not be paid. It is rumoured that he hates the logo and stated "I wouldn't pay them a penny... Who would go to a firm like that again to ask them to do that work? I mean, this is a pretty basic thing." (Urmm, London 2012?) There have been 22 reports of epileptic fits so far and the film was withdrawn on Tuesday.
By the sounds of it, Livingstone wouldn't pay for the whole shambles at all. No doubt the embarrassment Wolff Olins has caused the Olympic Committee, the invoice has already been ripped up and has been thrown on the ground somewhere...

Unfortunately, Lord Coe and err Co. only have themselves to blame.
