Okay, you understand that the Olympics aren’t just
about athletic achievement, right? Aside from badminton teams competing to throw
their early matches by playing with all the skill of 11-year-olds, there’s
merchandise. Lots of it.
Evidently people are lining up seven
across at the main official tschotschke store to buy everything from tea
towels to track suits at Olympic-sized prices.
However, I like the competition that’s arisen
between non-official tote bag manufacturers. First there was the bag sporting
the statement, “I’m Renting My Flat to a Fat American Family”. Back snapped a
bag with “Proud American family renting an overpriced London flat from snooty
Brits with bad teeth!”
It’ll be interesting to see how this progresses
through the various rounds.
