Olympic Sex - Porn Magazine Defies Olympic Games

[matcom]

<snip>

THE organisers of the Athens Olympics have vainly tried to remove the Greek edition of Playboy from the newspaper stands for offending the Games with a section on the Olympian traditions of sex, the magazine said.

"The court turned down ATHOC's (the Athens organisers') request for a restraining order against the circulation of the issue," Greek Playboy's legal counsellor Stelios Michalopoulos told AFP.

"ATHOC considered that by our text and pictures we had offended the symbols of the Olympic Games, the Games themselves as an institution and the organisers," Michalopoulos said.

"Harder, deeper, longer," was how the magazine paraphrased the Olympic motto "faster, higher, stronger," in an Olympics special featuring photos of naked models throwing the discus, distance running or holding up Games' symbols such as the five rings and the Olympic torch.

The request from the organisers was submitted, and immediately turned down, 20 days after the issue was on sale at the newspaper stands.

1. The History Channel has been doing some great info about the games

Yes, all the men were in the nude, but there was also only one woman in the crowd. She represented Zeus's sister (I forget which one).

Some of the athletes would have strings tied to their penis, and if the coach wasn't getting the attention of the athlete, he'd pull the string to get their attention.

3. IOC Also Took Legal Action Against The Organizers Of The "Gay Olympics"

... and forced them to rename their event to the "Gay Games". The IOC claimed that "Olympics" was trademarked or protected.

YET... curiously, they have nothing to say about "Special Olympics". To my knowledge, the IOC has no connection with the folks who organize the Special Olympics.

I guess they felt it was okay to go after the fags but not the retards. Easier to get away with one, but not the other.
