The Olympics brand police are currently running around London in Adidas trainers with Samsung smartphones, dousing Londoners in Coca-Cola while shoving McDonald's fries into the stunned, open mouths of any onlookers.
Official branding is important to the powers that be at LOCOG, prompting it to release a list of phrases prohibited from use without its say-so. They are:
- "Olympic", "Olympian", "Olympiad", "Paralympic", "Paralympian", "Paralympiad" their plurals, translations and anything similar to them.
- "Backing the 2012 Games", "Supporting the London Games"
- Any two List A words or any word from List A and List B in the same sentence:
- LIST A: "Games", "Two Thousand and Twelve", "2012", "Twenty-Twelve"
- LIST B: "London", "medals", "sponsors", "summer", "gold", "silver", "bronze"
