Limerick University full of Nazis?

That's a pretty sh1t swastika.

Accidental I reckon. It's usually stupidity rather than malice that causes this sort of thing.

Never go to a Hindu or Buddhist country if that's what you're offended by.

No, UL is not full of nazis. But I don’t know how that logo got past quality control

If you ever had to design a logo or other sort of abstract shape, you will know just how easily it can end up looking like either a swastika, or a penis.

You might need to check your offence-detector there

If you take the arm on the right and flip it so the shoulder lines up in the middle with the left leg, you'd have a pretty nice swastika alright :pac:

As a graduate of that fine institution I can assure you that this is not beyond the limits of their incompetence.

I did Nazi that coming, Anne Frankly I am a little disgusted by it...

Taken out of context and enlarged, and also wanting to see a swastika, yeah...there it is. However, on the page you linked to, you'd barely notice it...

How do these things get published? Surly someone in the room looked at it and realised it looked bad.

google: Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission.

Here you go, in all it's MSPaint glory - institution name removed for obvious reasons.

I also took the liberty of moving the dudes head.

There definitely is an inordinate amount of short people with mustaches in Limerick anyway..

Did the nazis wear tracksuits at all?

Wanting to see it? It's at least 80% Swastika, and that link was just so people could check it wasn't just a joke, maybe this link suits you better?

If you look for nazis everywhere you are Göring to find them.

Yeah it’s real. Just google: bad logos, and see some of the absolute howlers that have been published.

Incredible that these things get past everyone involved without anyone saying anything.

If there are Nazi's there, they certainly aren't lurking in the PA & Politics Dept

But seriously, when I saw that symbol first, I genuinely didn't see a swastika. I saw this...

I thought this might have been about the students complaining they cannot find accommodation on campus because the fee paying foreign students get first dibs.

It's a man wearing big flares proposing to his fiance . Nothing to see here.

Reminded me of the statue of Papa John outside the library at NUI Maynooth. “Say nothing about this to anybody lads. There’s a big bag o’ tayto and a bottle of TK red in it for ye!”

Gas altogether.

Nearly choked laughing at that

Muahahaha

Im more intersted to find out why they are crash testing 1000 cars a year, thats almost 5 crashed cars in every working day. Will the 1000th crashed car really tell them any more than the 999 before them?

Depends what you're testing. They might crash 30 cars to test a single point of impact on different objects.

Test data can take a long time to gather.

The deer is shagging the torpedo/castle, and there's bacon. That's what a lot of UL students saw anyway. The rest of them saw the deer

with its mouth on something attached to its body that in no way even remotely resembles a phallus

...and bacon.

I see a red door and I want it painted black

It's an unfortunate logo indeed but I don't think it means UL is full of Nazis. Most likely it was designed by some millennial or Gen-X student who like sooooo totally wasn't into all that like ancient Hitler and his like Roman legions history stuff like in like secondary school like. I'm sure it will get fixed without the need for a purge of the campus.

All I see here is hyper-sensitivity. Any excuse to cancel.
