Posting Photos of Olympics Could Land You In Court 394
hypnosec writes "With London's summer 2012 games due to take place in the very near future, you'd think that organizers would make more of an effort and persuade people to show more of an interest — yet it appears the complete opposite has happened, with strict guidelines banning athletes from posting photos of themselves on Twitter with products that aren't official Olympics sponsors, as well as prohibiting videos or photos to be taken from the athlete's village. Oh and just for good measure, fans could find themselves barred from sharing videos and photos on Facebook and YouTube of themselves delighting in said Olympics action."

Can we all just agree it's 1999 again, and have a "do over"?

Does the IOC maintain a list of the "Official ____ of the Olympics" products?
I want to be on the winning team and buy all of the products that our fine athletes will be pimping non-stop between now and the next Olympics.
Specifically, I need to know which companies they have chosen for the "official" toilet paper, ball-point pen, aerosol cheese product and galvanized roofing nails.
TIA!

I love the 2012 symbol though. (Score:2, Funny)
Depending on your personal preference, it's either Macey Gray giving head, or Lisa Simpson.
After that was pointed out to me, I couldn't take their "Olympic Symbol (Protection) Act of 1995" seriously.
