The Olympic Torch was unveiled a while ago now, but I am not sure why there is this sudden buzz of the shape of it. Below are a few articles that talk about this Toronto-designed Olympic Torch: 
Jim Rome: Olympic Torch Looks Like a Joint
Seattle Times: About that Reefer-bished Vancouver Oly Torch
Now, I am not a pothead, so I don’t have first-hand knowledge of how a "fatty" should look like. Having seen people roll up a marijuana cigarette, though, I must attest, when you look at the Olympic Torch sideways (see below left), it does show a remarkable resemblance (right). 
This is probably just a silly story that gets reported out-of-proportion, but how ironic is it that, the capital city of pot in the world gets a chance to host the Winter Olympics, and one of the biggest symbols of the Game shows such eerie resemblance to the item that Vancouver is so infamous for.

As sports talk radio host Jim Rome mocks, the "higher" part in the Olympic motto has just taken on a whole new meaning in Vancouver... higher... yeah right... If you ask me, I am honestly feeling ashamed of our city's infamy when it comes to marijuana.
