And the Olymipics will crash and burn in 3....2....1 games from now. Apparently, the IOC doesn't see the entire lack of attendees to the games as a show stopper for the "ambush marketers".

I agree. It was so clear when this thing was here that it was all about advertising. People hate being sold stuff, and the more the ICOG turns itself out the more apathetic everyone is going to get about their events.

Big fucking deal! People aren't allowed to bring outside beverages to ANY event. Start your own events and let people bring drinks into them. Until you do that, please don't waste space on this site.


SBN: Olympics marketers tip their hand

] the gates or be shut out.

Usually they just ban all outside food and drink as a "security measure." In this case they've tipped their hand.
