Olympics (1)

It's true. Every morning I see the huge advert while waiting for the convoy in the tube: a massive aerial view of London above the Tower Bridge (on first plane) towards the west without the HMS battleship Belfast. Compliments of photoshop. On top of that, it is currently closed: Baron de Coubertin's legacy.

Lately, every evening, I see the huge advert while waiting for the convoy in the tube: a large poster with an athlete announcing a deodorant. Faster. Stronger. For Longer. A clear wink to the motto of Olympics, altius, citius, fortius, a Coubertin's contribution, as well, as I heard.

Wouldn't it be contradictory with peace and solidarity, anyhow?
