How's this for resolution?

A new high-resolution television format has been approved by the UN's communication standards setting agency. Broadcasts in 8K will offer a resolution of 7,680 by 4,320 pixels - roughly the equivalent of a 32 megapixel photo. That is 16 times as sharp as current HD TVs offering about 2MP resolutions. And speaking of resolution, foreign ministers from the American continents have urged Britain and Ecuador to peacefully end the stand-off over WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Assange, who is wanted in Sweden for questioning on sex allegations, has been granted political asylum by the South American country and spent the last two months holed up in its London embassy. The UK government has made it clear the Australian activist will be arrested and extradited if he steps outside the building after jumping bail. So he's stuck there until somebody can smuggle him into Ecuador, and I know a way they can do it: Assange can go to Sweden anyway, and an Ecuadorean diplomatic plane or helicopter can meet him there or in the States and take him to start a new life in Ecuador, whose president has said the diplomatic row could be ended tomorrow if Britain gave the activist safe passage to South America. Rafael Correa said: "This could end tomorrow if the UK grants safe passage, or it could go on for months and years if Mr Assange can't leave the embassy of Ecuador in London." And speaking of London, the Paralympics will be starting there on Wednesday. But the Olympic logo (pictured below in four colours and in a similar variation being used as the Paralympic logo) should've been one which doesn't look like Lisa Simpson giving somebody a blowjob.
