The IOC and Vanoc (Vancouver Olympic Committee) are a bunch of dictatorial goons.
They have trademark police patrolling businesses to look for any trademarks NOT registered as sponsors and then threaten court action if it's not removed from public view.

Volunteers must tape over any logos for shoes or clothing they are wearing before appearing at a venue.

They even tried to trademark the number 2010 so no one could use it in a store window.
The word Olympic in a business name was protested in court by VANOC and luckily they lost. Greek restaurants typically use that name. VANOC tried to close them all.
If your logo has a flame in it. They went after you.

These guys are not our friends.

Kinda like the Porsche police, eh?

Last go-round, watched the Canadian Curling team win gold. Took quite a few beers, but, fun to watch average people, who probably suck suds as well, versus the semi-pro spandex crowd. Looking forward to some rock throwing again! burp~!

Let tell me you this, this year the germans win the hockey gold...because they have the nice`st logo on their upper-right-arm.....or....was it on the left...bla,bla....dont blame or talked about the nazi-shit when it comes to sport.
There are a lot of people living in vancouver who left germany in the 1930Th for such a good reason.

And Khal: Not all people understand your kind of humor, and, wasn`t it you who likes to be a canadian?

What I find funny is that there is no snow here and they are having to truck and helicopter snow in for the event.

Plus on top of that, the first day of the olympics the venue goes up for auction as the current owners are bankrupt.

I wish that they would have had it in Jasper, or banff, where they are guarenteed to get tons of snow!

I hope nobody took what I said seriously, it was a joke.
I like ausies canucks and germans.


trademark police, hum, to make people cover logos is very stupid. to bust countefiters is not.

winter olympics with no snow, so much for the great white north.
