ANTI-FLAG AT THE OLYMPICSWell, not exactly.
Welcome back, friends, from our first ever CreComm Reading Week! I hope everyone received the rest they deserved. I definitely did not. My week was spent working with my head cut off, followed by partying down the streets of Robson and Granville in downtown Vancouver. Man, I miss it already.
Following up with some Olympic related news, CTV published an article yesterday regarding the cease of a CBC Canadian flag giveaway. The full article can be viewed here, at
www.ctvolympics.ca. Basically, CBC was giving away free Canadian flags to passers-by. Harmless, right? Wrong. The problem was CBC's distinctive corporate logo appeared on the back of the flags. The CBC building location neighbours Canada Hockey Place, in which it is verboten to brandish a corporate logo.
I guess attendees just wanted to avoid paying the $4.00 for a Canadian flag? Which is exactly what I paid on Cypress Mountain. Boo.
