  Olympic Committee Disqualified: More Trademark Abuse Run Amok! Yahoo! News - Olympic Chiefs Ask Bush to Pull Election Ad "ATHENS (Reuters) The U.S. Olympic Committee and the IOC has asked the campaign to re-elect President Bush to pull an ad that refers to the Olympic Games. The ad has angered Olympic officials because they feel it hijacks the Olympic brand -- a registered trademark -- even though it does not display the Games logo." I never thought I'd be defending W, except maybe for a DWI, but once again, we have a trademark rabies case. The Olympic Committee seems to think that you can't even use the word Olympics without their permission! In the ad, which has ruffled the USOC's tunics, an announcer states that at "this Olympics there will be two more free nations," referring to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq under Bush's watch.
For better or worse, for pete's sake, this is merely a statement of fact, and does not even begin to imply any relationship between the Olympic Committee and George W. Bush, nor does it imply any endorsement of him. Afghanistan was suspended in 1999 under the Taliban regime, and Iraq was only allowed back in after Saddam Hussein was deposed. Listen up, dunderheads! A person can say almost anything they'd like, regardless of whether you think you own the words. 22 more people rode the Space Mountain ride at Disneyland, wearing Abercrombie & Fitch clothing than last year. Somepeople found the ride to be fair and balanced while others lost their lunch.
