I read somewhere that the "Y" is representative of the question "why in the hell would anyone watch this crap?"

Then again, the Roman numeral for "I" equals "1". So if you typed that out you'd get "Ol1mpics", which hardly looks correct. I think I'll submit a recommendation for a permanent change to a more simple looking "0l1|\/|p1c5".
