1000 At The Bottom Of The Ocean...

The U.S. Olympic Committee are officially assclowns:

After nine years of slippery, slinky competition, the Ferret Olympics is being forced to change its name — the U.S. Olympic Committee has threatened to sue.

U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Darryl Seibel said the committee's legal department on average asks about 50 groups per year to stop using the name Olympics.

"No one is being singled out," Seibel said. "But the accumulated effect of letting that go unchecked would hinder the ability we have to do what we do."


And what exactly would it be that you "do," Mr. Seibel? The olympic athletes compete; their sponsors pay for their training and upkeep; cities pay for the "privilege" of hosting the games. And you? You... sue? Is that it?

Does anyone else find it incredibly distasteful and suspiciously wasteful that the Olympic Committee has an entire department devoted to slimy, crawling, vile, putrid, low-life lawyers?

Oh, I'm sorry; was my dislike for lawyers hanging out? Here, just gimme a sec to tuck that back in...

Oh, they only harrass about 50 groups per year? That's not very many, only one every week. That represents a pretty significant investment of time and effort. Meanwhile, a whopping 2 seconds of rational thought by a person with any common sense would lead to the conclusion that they are only hurting themselves by taking free publicity and turning it into negative publicity.

Assclowns.. yeah, that about sums it up.
