El Reg sparks international incident with Olympics committee
Found on The Register on Thursday, 07 January 2010
You see, dear readers, the very official Olympic rules dictate that athletes are only allowed to have video cameras outside of specific areas. The USOC is apparently honestly concerned Cisco's statement gives the impression that Olympic athletes would actually be filming themselves in the midst of their own competition.
We're not updating that one, we just thought it was sort of funny because it showed how serious the business of Olympic-level sponsorship is.
It's pretty low when the greed for money gives the US Olympic Committee the bright idea to prohibit athletes to film themselves.
