If you’re like me, the big question on your mind about the 2010 Vancouver Olympics is this: Will the prostitutes be safe from the media? Fortunately, The Prostitution Alternatives Counselling and Education Society (PACE) is already on the case.
Sex trade workers in Vancouver are receiving sessions in media training at PACE headquarters, located in the city’s notorious Downtown Eastside (admittance not granted without the secret knock). Read more…
Jeff Lee of the VANCOUVER SUN has good news for local, underage individuals who previously used to try to sneak in bars until closing time. The Olympics will soon be in town, so drink up, kiddos!
(Just replace the name and you have your 2010 Olympic Preview!)
Lee reports the Vancouver Olympic Committee has prevailed upon the city to allow Olympic-sponsored temporary venues to serve booze until 4am while also allowing “minors” into said “establishments”.
Oh, but it gets even better… Read more…

Lucky dog.
• THE FIGHTINS’ punch up video of the Phillies’ Jamie Moyer running over an ump who doesn’t make a goood speed bump.

What do you do when your sport is dropped from Olympic competition? For a group of female ski jumpers, there’s only one logical & level-headed approach to the situation: Sue the bastards!
The VANCOUVER PROVINCE reports that the shut-out slalom seekers plan to file a suit against the Vancouver Organizing Committee, hoping to have women’s ski jumping return in time for the 2010 Winter Games.
So, what kind of case do the ladies have? Read more…
2010 OLYMPIC MASCOTS UNLEASHED TO A WEARY WORLD: Now the news you’ve all been waiting for - here come your 2010 Vancouver Olympics mascots!

The Vancouver Organizing Committee has unleashed their official marketing figures and set up a web site to introduce their creations to the world.We have Miga, a cute little sea bear; Quatchi, a young sasquatch; and Sumi, described as an “animal spirit” with the wings of a thunderbird and legs of a bear.
When visiting each character’s web page, Miga, Quatchi and Sumi proudly exclaim their name in Pokemon-like fashion when the mouse is moved over their images.

Upon closer examination, our new furry friends do bare a resemblance to the characters created for the 2008 Beijing Games. The IOC must have gotten a good 2-for-1 deal with the same graphic designer.

Still, it’s an improvement over Izzy the Olympic Whatizit.
VANCOUVER GROUP WANTS BROTHEL BY 2010 OLYMPICS: As Vancouver gets ready for the 2010 Winter Olympics, there’s one vital matter they haven’t prepared for - prostitutes:
 |
The VANCOUVER SUN reports that a group of working girls want to establish a legal brothel by the time the world descends on the Canadian City for the games.The B.C. Coalition of Experiential Communities believes establishing a legal brothel would be a safer alternative for streetwalkers hoping to cash in on the influx of worldly & horny visitors.
A similar sex situation faced Germany during the 2006 World Cup. Although the country legalized prostitution in 2002, there were still concerns about the volume and safety of sexcapades during the tournament.
The BCCEC hopes to get the okay from the government “to permit the first brothel on an experimental basis.”

We’re sure there won’t be a shortage of volunteers for that experiment.
