Olympics Disgrace & Outrage......I'm Offended!

"London conjures images of crowded pubs, which conjure images of pints of beer, which conjure the taste of … Heineken?"

Seriously? This is revolting! An offense to the national pride and I'm a Yank.....

What were they thinking?

 

Probably not the best choice in the world.....

 

At least Cadbury is Brit...i..sh er hang on!


You're on the ball though Frodocious. You'd think they'd have something more appropriate.

 

No no Cadbury and Banks's and we are sussed.

That's my idea of supporting local produce

Well it was until those barstools bought the bloody company.

 

You're taking this far too lightly my friend.....

England may not have invented beer but certainly came up with the types that taste any good. The world would be a much poorer place without fine English ales.

 

I'm just miserable because I can't drink anymore.

It's a bloody disgrace though about this heineken lark.

 

What should be advertised during the games? Please, not the latest 20 minute ab machine!

 

Didn't you know that a Big Mac (TM) provides all the nutrients you need to become a world class athlete?

 

Plus a whole bunch of extra stuff you don't 'need'. I'd call that a bargain!

 

The thing is though companies that produce or sell products that are in keeping with the ethos of a healthy and active lifestyle rarely earn the sort of money needed buy this sort of sponsorship I think.
Not compared to companies that make beer or junk food.

 

Unfortunately most of the people watching the olympics aren't athletes or health nuts so healthier sponsers won't pay as much. In a way it's cool though. We're suporting our best athletes with the money of fat slob couch potatoes! See you can spin anything to be positive. If Mitt Romney can be polling at 42% then McDonalds and Hieniken can sponser the Olympics!

 

As proven by Micheal Phelps!

 

At least the beer will be served cold....


Unlike some of the rubbish on tap in UK bars

 

...

...

You didn't...

:ban:

That amber liquid (shockingly similar in colour to another amber liquid, as well as taste) barely even qualifies as beer. Gimme a good Wychwood or Surrey Hills any time.

 

Pfft! That's small beer compared to what actually happens when a city/country is award the chance to host the Olympics. Basically the Olympics exists as a sort of micro state within a state. Normal laws and market competition rules are virtually completely suspended. Visa for example will be swicthing off all cash machines at Olympic venues except for their own. The only credit and debit cards that will be accepted will be Visa cards.

The whole event is a disgusting display of the power and hubris of multi-national corporations.

 

Oh come on guys, after about the 12th Heinie you'll be so hammered it won't matter anyhow.

 

Because he wasn't sure what the food would be like in China? There was an Australian bike sprinter who's diet practically consisted of Mars Bars and KFC IIRC.
