It is.

But it's nothing to do with the oIympics other than being installed near them.

So, still... screw the olympics.

I'm already sick of these frigging Olympics. There is advertising absolutely everywhere, it's disgusting! More reasons not to buy Samsung products. And McDoanlds as 'official restaurant'?!?! Get to fuck you absolute fucking arseclowns.

this link is already breaking the Terms of use:
http://www.london2012.com
http://www.london2012.com/terms-of-use/

I don't think it is.

Though if the text said "LOCOG" and then linked it would be... as then it would be misleading and against the terms.

i was thinking about this part:

and agree that no such link shall portray us or any other official London 2012 organisations (or our or their activities, products or services) in a false, misleading, derogatory or otherwise objectionable manner.

just be happy!

Jesus christ, the boy is ripped.

Olympic lane on the mall officially opened

Britain flooded with 'brand police' to protect sponsors
Olympic security is in disarray, but organisers are taking no chances with corporate deals...

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.

Olympics organisers have warned businesses that during London 2012 their advertising should not include a list of banned words, including "gold", "silver" and "bronze", "summer", "sponsors" and "London", if they give the impression of a formal connection to the Olympics. See examples of banned and allowed advertising below.

I think its appropriate to call it fascist

Fashist

1mn football tickets still available
of which they've withdrawn 500,000 because of poor sales

why don't they just give the tickets away to the school kids / unemployed / people who are volunteering for the games rather than just with draw then and put 50% of some grounds to pasture a full ground losing money is surely better than a half full ground losing money

seb coe yesterday saying that there were still loads of tickets left

yes yes seb what you didn't mention is that they were all in the CAT A seating areas with tickets on sale at only £2012
no wonder you haven't sold them you silly billy

London News at 1:30 today has a segment about the lanes and cyclists.

let us know if it's good news or bad news

so did the man from del monte say yes ?

I believe that the man from Del Monte will shortly say:

"Fuck this shit! Whose smart idea was it to hold the Olympic fucking games in a city that's transport infrastructure struggles to cope on a Monday morning? Was the IOC high when they awarded it? Will the games be put on hold whenever some selfish prick hurls themselves in-front of a tube train and the entire city inevitably grinds to a halt? What about when some arrogant cunt of a banker, who thinks that everyone else in London is inferior to him, finally loses it when a tourist stops IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING TUBE STATION AGAIN, because they have no idea where they are going so he decides the right and proper thing to do will be to kill them in the face with fire? Seriously I'm outta here! overpriced tickets to go and watch "amateurs" play sports isn't worth this level of stress. Greatest show on Earth............. My arse!"
