The 2010 Winter Olympic Games ceremonial torch is raising quite a few eyebrows and becoming a subject of much amusement. The reason is due to the striking resemblance of the new design to a hand rolled marijuana joint.
The 3-foot-long giant Olympic spliff is to be carried by 12,000 people, in relays, across 28,000 miles before the Games begin.
The Olympic torch relay committee has dismissed the claims of the resemblance. A spokesperson has said that most people's reactions are emotional. The torch was designed to look like the snow and ice marks left behind an Olympic skier or skater.
The new design is meant to represent, ergonomics, sleekness, modernity but not everyone is convinced.
