2010 Vancouver Olympic & Paralympic Super-Thread

[nobase2010]

This is common practice in films and T.V. shows. If your part of a movie you have restrictions on what not to wear. They would put tape over any logos on your clothes that is not associated with the film. Even going to Oprah Winfrey show they have clothing restriction. I remember one guy wanted to wear the Canuck jersey during the show but he was told to wear something else.

Scotia bank could have done their wrap during Canada Day instead.

It easy for the public to critize Vanoc. But these companies are spending million of dollars to be an Olympic sponsors. Of course they would be pissed off at the freeloaders.

Obviously, of course, they don't make any mention to the Olympics. They did however have a Canadian athlete (Cassie Campbell) at their launch event. http://money.canoe.ca/money/business/canada/archives/2010/01/20100114-124332.html

And just a couple of days ago libraries were told to cover up any non-Olympic sponsors "logos".
