Standing by for Olympics bullshit!!!
You know that in spite of earthquakes, riots and possible boycotts, we can begin looking forward to months and months of relentless Olympic shit from now on. Forget the mind numbing coverage of the actual games themselves, which invariably spend more time on "back-home" interviews with proud parents of some fucking softball player, rather than showing us the actual sports... No, I'm talking about the ads and sponsorship shit we will be buried in. Best example was in AdAge's piece about Cokes "Olympic Blitz" as they put it... The beverage giant is kicking off its Olympic program with the launch of collectible packaging featuring the Coca-Cola script logo in five languages: Russian, Ethiopian, Thai, Mandarin and English. "Collectable Packaging!" Are they fucking kidding? Who the fuck in their right mind collects old Coke cans? Coke goes on with this drivel... "We're creating excitement for the Olympics by launching the program almost three months before opening ceremonies. We think people are going to have a lot of fun collecting the different cans and then pulling for our Coca-Cola athletes during the games." That's what the man said... Three fucking months of this shit to look forward to. Aaaargh!
I only collect the "Bacon" flavored one. 'Cos it tastes less like shit than the real stuff!
