As a final (I hope) salute to the Olympic Games
2012, I give you a series of infographics produced by artist Gustavo Sousa:
It has nothing to do with the actual Games, really.
Sousa uses the Olympic rings (can I say that without IOC or LOCOG siccing their
lawyers on me) as a framework for giving statistics on social issues like
global population, obesity, carbon dioxide emissions and Coca-Cola
consumption.
He purposely left out a key, so you’d have to ponder
for yourself which ring represents which continent; but here’s a spoiler:
yellow = Africa, red = Americas, blue = Oceana, black = Europe, green = Asia.
Run through it a few times. It’s really quite
thought-provoking.
