Gambling Company’s Slimy Olympic Advertising Deserves Censure

GoldenPalace is doing it’s best to ruin the non-commercialization of the Olympics and have turned themselves from the eccentric “buy anything odd and famous on eBay” for publicity company to the desparate “I’ll whore myself for a buck” gambling house that is lowering itself down to what people expect from such places. The tatooed streaker at the curling match was annoying, but easily edited out and therefore not such a big deal. Then there were reports that they had someone repeatedly unfurled a banner for them at the men’s speedkating event. Also annoying, but it never made the broadcast.

The final straw for me was the deranged attempt to interrupt a speech given by Torino Organizing Committee president Valentino Castellani. It was quick, but for some reason the network showed the man with his offensive advertisement of a shirt get grabbed and hauled away. I hope they keep him locked up for a while and set the bail high. And NBC should send GoldenPalace a bill for advertising serviced rendered. And I hope people vote with their pocketbooks and stop advterising, marketing, and patronizing (of course in the US this is illegal anyhow) them.
