Even The Sex At The Olympics Is Sponsored
from the don't-f**k-without-the-official-olympic-rubber dept
We've had plenty of stories about the insane lengths the Olympics goes to in order to block out any appearance of a non-sponsor brand, including taping over the brands of non-sponsors on bathroom fixtures and urinals. And, apparently, the Olympics obsession with deleting all non-sponsorship brands extends almost to the point of contact when athletes decide to get down and dirty with each other.
Every couple years, when the Olympics roll around, there are stories like this one, about the volume of sexual activity in the Olympic Village among the athletes. And, if we go by condom count, the volume keeps on growing:
And, indeed, the response from the Olympics was swift, as they began an investigation into this illicit behavior, because just think of all the problems if these athletes had sex with a non-sponsored condom! That cannot be allowed at all.
Every couple years, when the Olympics roll around, there are stories like this one, about the volume of sexual activity in the Olympic Village among the athletes. And, if we go by condom count, the volume keeps on growing:
At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, the Australian organizing committee distributed 45,000 free condoms in the village. Eight years later in Beijing, 70,000 condoms—labeled with the phrase ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’—were exhausted and 20,000 more were ordered. This year in London, the Olympic organizing committee is providing 150,000, using special dispensers which contain a message promoting sexual health. Averaged among 10,490 athletes, that’s enough condoms for every athlete to have sex 15 times over the Olympics’ three weeksAnd, of course, the Olympics found a sponsor to pay up for the privilege of being where the rubber meets the... well, you know. Durex is the official condom of the games. But... uh oh, call in the brand police! BMX cyclist Caroline Buchanan tweeted a photo of free condoms available in the Olympic Village which (*gasp*!) were not made by Durex!

Oh Dear

Re: Oh Dear
Seriously, of course this needs to be investigated! Let just non-paid sponsor get away with it, and pretty soon the entire Olympic Committee might have to actually work for a living.
Slippery slope, and all that...

Re: Memo:
Assuming Olympic athletes have sex more than just at the games, it would seem far easier just to ask the Olympic athletes themselves. You would only need a 0.3% success rate to reach 15 times.

I came here in search of something I did not know... and found you.
Seriously though, if I can convey the context well enough, the wife will love that one.

Dear Olympics
F**k you (with a birth control method officially sponsored by the Olympics)!
Sincerely, Prashanth.

What's an Olympics?
[ reply to this | link to this | view in chronology ]
I remember reading Stranger in a Strange Land and Heinlein prefaced his chapters with these absurd little world news briefs that you would never take seriously, then. Now, having just reread it they seem not only believable but somewhat tame.

One word...
As I've stated before... the Olympics are a farce. It's a money making scheme by the draconian Olympic committee and nothing more.
I'm actually surprised that it seems to be as popular with TV viewers this year... but then again... Reality TV vs Olympics... I guess Olympics win...

It is a dating service sponsored by Durex. Are we gonna get TV-footage from it in the future as a new reality-show? I think Durex has hit a really good concept here: Free condoms and then film the use with hidden cameras! I can see why they do not want competition in this sport.

Men At Work
(to a musical tune) 'Do you come from a gland down under?'
I am sure they could also work the group name of Men at Work into the parody there somewhere. I am sure once explored, the possibilities here would be very forthcumming.

Re: Men At Work
They should be able to provide their condoms and badvertising anywhere they like, though.
