Olympic Log Day 12: Corporate much? Careful what label you bring with you



So I'm sure every Olympics is a big corporate barf-fest. But I heard this story on a recent discussion board:
Today, I was like LiveCity Yaletown and my mom brought a bottle of Nestle brand bottled water. The security guy ripped the label from the water, and gave it back to my mom. Apparently, you're not allowed to be seen with non "Coca Cola" branded products inside the place. Yep, there are security guards looking out what brands you're carrying, and if they don't like the brand, they'll rip off the label! It's another reason I lost respect for VANOC.

With a brilliant followup:
I need to test that. I'm gonna go down there and wrap myself in non- sponsoring labels for clothing. What would they do if literally the outfit I was wearing was anticoke???

And apparently CityCaucus.com saw this happening too- so it's a true story, people! RECOMMEND this Post on Progressive Bloggers CLICK HERE!
