The “words you can’t use” are back

Submitted by rernst on Thu, 11/29/2007 - 12:48pm

Howard Knopf over at Excess Copyright has a sarcastic article about using words that might, possibly, in some way, possibly be inferred to reference the Olympic Games in Vancouver (2010).

I've written about this sort of thing before in Airstrip OneLondon.

In addition to gagging on the irony, the 2010 Olympics mascot is called 'Sumi': Knopf makes fun of this (very deservedly) as well.
