If the Bush add said he is the "Olympic President" then you would have a point. That is not what the add is doing. It is reporting a fact about the Olympic games. Does every news organization have to get permission to use the word "Olympic" when reporting a news story about the games?

Jeez. This is not a news story. It is not a speech. It is not a post on the internet. It is not a dictionary. It is an ADVERTISEMENT.

excellent point... i was just thinking, my child's history book has a chapter on the First Olympic Games in the ancient Greece section... did the writer of the book have to get permission to use the words Olympic Games? no, she did not...
