And ’staged’ is the right word.

Because the games are turning into  a farcical embarrassment.

Now, “Wha’tcha doin’ to me Canada?” – asks Andrew aka Comeoncomcast in an email.

“I was excited about Vancouver 2010 but this has dampened the Start ” – he says.

Andrew lives in Oz.

There’s a huge flag hanging down for two storeys in the building where Australian athletes are staying.

“The IOC believed the flag represented an inappropriate commercial trademark,” the Sydney Morning Herald has Australian Olympic Committee spokesman Mike Tancred stating.

”We put it up about three days ago and the next morning the IOC told us to take it down”, he says.

The flag became famous in 1983 “when used by Alan Bond and his crew when they won the America’s Cup, although in his new book Great Moments in Australian History, historian Jonathan King says the image first graced RAAF P40 Kittyhawk fighters in Africa in World War II,” says the story.

“The AOC bought the registered trademark of the flag from Bond when he later got into financial trouble.”

But, ”If the IOC send us a formal letter telling us to take it down, then we probably will,” says Tancred in the story.
