See, this is where in the olden days, before the great redesign, I would have heart-clicked

The worst logo in history is still the one for the 2012 London Olympics. No idea what its jingle is, but it is so unbelievably bad that I find it only fitting that apparently is is capable of triggering seizures

No, this device here is for the tuna, this way they'll finally stand a chance

What sound does it make when fired?
