just a little clarification, sink. I'm not defending the OCs actions - though they do have a RIGHT to do it, and a legal right at that. I'm just amazed that the lockstep is so rigid that people actually get a testosterone boost from the campaign refusing to acknowledge that legal right. "he's got a pair, and he knows how to use them". Yeah. "We won't stop running the ad now, but we are stopping in three days so let us show how tough we are by telling you no."
The USOC should be working with the IOC to get the judging fiasco under control so that the games aren't compromised any more than they already are instead of worrying about getting a little free publicity from the leader of the free world.
