Asshats2004: This is In the True Spirit of the Games. And this is too.

In another story, "2004 seconds of pleasure" was the title of a four-page "erotic tale of Olympic fantasy" featured in a special edition of Greek Playboy.
"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 Olympic symbols such as the five rings and the torch.
This all prompted an indignant protest from the Athens organisers, who added that "'2004' is a dominant part of our name and trademark and is inextricably linked with our company and the Olympic Games." Who knew those asshats had the copyright on 2004? I guess Athoc won't like the title of this post either.
