If that's the entertainment, put me down for a ticket!:rotfl::rotfl:
I think I need to get into marketing.:hmm:

i am wondering if there is anything to do with the olypmics that will warrant as politically incorrect in this country... i mean, the 5 olympic rings can be said they look like chains, which some may associate with slavery, which obviously will upset some people.

as for the running races - well, these races are done on a race track. tracks are also used for trains, and trains were used to transport thousands of jews to camps. the government may, then, be worried about being seen as nazi sympathisers.

and also - the union jack... there will obviously be lots of them waving around, and if labour are still in office, they may end up thinking "union jack" "union jack", "union j.." "union" "union" "workers union" "strike"... and the whole country goes on strike.

and don't forget the bronze medal. we may have to find another word, as bronze could offend people with a sun-tan. gold, silver, and medal #3.

jees - it seems there is more to this olympic lark than just a load of people running round and throwing things
