The 2012 Olympics
pwhodges:
Let's have a thread where we can report on, comment on, muse on, laugh at, despair of, or complain about, the celebration of Adidas, Coca Cola and McDonalds that for some reason is called the Olympic Games.
And I'll start (with a rare double post!):
Of all the errors to happen on the first day of competition of the Olympics (yes, the sports start before the opening!), and of all the countries for it to happen to - the North Korean women's football team was displayed on a screen next to a South Korean flag. Oops!
What price national pride?
Zingoleb:
I've got nothing on the subject other than oh god the logo design is terrible. Seriously, seriously, horribly, terribly terrible.

We all said that when it was unveiled.
We also have issues like the statement (on TV by Seb Coe himself) that if you have a ticket and are wearing a Pepsi teeshirt you are likely to be refused entry.

The requirement to designate reserved lanes on main roads for Olympic traffic only follows from the fact that in the Atlanta games some athletes missed their events because of traffic jams.
