This is what the olympics are really about the sponsers

Hundreds of uniformed Olympics officers will begin touring the country today enforcing sponsors' multimillion-pound marketing deals, in a highly organised mission that contrasts with the scramble to find enough staff to secure Olympic sites.
Almost 300 enforcement officers will be seen across the country checking firms to ensure they are not staging "ambush marketing" or illegally associating themselves with the Games at the expense of official sponsors such as Adidas, McDonald's, Coca-Cola and BP. The clampdown goes on while 3,500 soldiers on leave are brought in to bail out the security firm G4S which admitted it could not supply the numbers of security staff it had promised.

*CONFUSED*

As wasn't around in 1948, have no idea of what happened last time, but doubt there was all this sodding advertising going on, that's all it is.

WHO in their right minds wants to go to a LARGE dump, and watch people you don't know running around with sweaty jock straps?

If anybody gives us tickets - unless Tracy Barlow or the bird from the parts place is there, they will get them shoved down thier throat.

Perhaps the eco team can work out how much natral resocures has been WASTED doing this crap, CO2 emmision,s cement mined, fozzil fuel used, the 8000 butane gas canisters, with their YELLO ineffiecnt flames.

rant, mutter moan.

[crazypath]

YES WE DO HAVE SOME BRILLIANT SPORTS PEOPLE, AND ITS A SHAME WHEN THEIR FAMILIES CANT EVEN GET TICKETS TO SEE THEM IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. IT IS DISGUSTING!

[Snowy79]

There's over 700,000 tickets unsold for the football if you can handle watching it.

[Bulld0g]

I think i'm in a minority here because i'm looking forward to the Olympics. Boxing, Athletics, Swimming, Football and last but not least Beach Volleyball played by lesbians with little shorts on

[johnboy1974]

Read in the paper today that if you turn up with a rival firm such as Nike or reebok you will not be allowed in- how ridiculous is that??
Also they are removing the Nike swoosh from the advertising at old Trafford.

Your just pissed an American can know just as much about football as you. Maybe you and Kenny could take in a lesbo volleyball game

this is really taking the piss

Sausage squares beat Olympic ban
Sausage sign
The Olympic Games logo can only be used by official sponsors
A butcher banned from displaying his Olympic sausage ring sign has created a new sign for his shop.

The original sign, dated 2012 and featuring the Olympic rings made from sausages, has been replaced by the date 2013 and five linked sausage squares.

Dennis Spurr was told to remove his vinyl sign outside the Fantastic Sausage Factory in Weymouth, Dorset, by Olympic officials.

They said it breached copyright laws because he had not sponsored the games.


I was just trying to enter into the spirit of things and it all got out of hand
Dennis Spurr

Mr Spurr removed the sign before a deadline on Tuesday and today replaced it with his new take on the famous rings.

He said: "I changed the date to 2013 because by the time this country gets themselves organised it will be 2013.

"It was never to promote my business. It was to celebrate the fact that we won the right to host the Olympic sailing events.

The Olympic sailing events will be held in Weymouth and Portland in 2012.

Wide support

"I was just trying to enter into the spirit of things and it all got out of hand.

"I'm still a bit dumb-struck by all the attention it has attracted."

The shop on St Mary's Street is just a short walk from the shore where thousands of spectators will gather in five years' time to watch the events in Weymouth Bay.

Mr Spurr said his customers wanted to start a petition and he has had support from people around the country urging him to keep the sign.

He added: "Now I have changed the sign I hope it will all blow over."
