Rink

 

Here’s an idea that hockey star and seal defender Georges Laraque would probably like to take credit for: We’re planning to place a giant version of our Olympic Shame 2010 logo under the ice at several Canadian skating rinks. After all, denizens of the Great White North love their icy sports. Once they start slipping and sliding around the rink, they won’t be able to miss our message that the 2010 Olympics will be hopelessly tarnished if the seal slaughter isn’t permanently canceled before Vancouver’s big show. Pretty slick idea, if you’ll pardon the pun.
