In other words, posting photos and vids of the Games to Facebook, Flickr, Twitter etc. is BANNED and YOU WILL HAVE YOUR FINGERNAILS PULLED OUT IF YOU ARE CAUGHT
Ok, I exaggerated a bit but WTF?. Welcome to thh "control" games people!
But wait, theres more. If you read carefully: You cant take to the games the usual firearms, illegal drugs etc. Add to this containers of liquid exceeding 100ml motorcycles and large quantities of coins refrigerators and flags of any countries not participating in the Olympic games <facepalm>
There must be something good on TV instead.... |

Sod it, I'm not going then. Was looking forward to "powdering my nose" and picking off a few 100m sprinters with ice bullets in the old assault rifle. |

Good. Hopefully those lucky enough to have tickets will spend their time actually watching the events. |

Charlie Brooker is taking the pi55 of their sponsorship restrictions on Twitter, announcing himself the "Sole UK Tweeter of the Olympic Games" and hilarious tweets like:
Delighted to announce Glasgow is the *official* city of London 2012.
Sorry London, but them's the breaks.
Congratulations to @ThamesWater - their delicious tap water has just been confirmed as the official drink of the 2012 Olympics! Cheers!
Congratulations to The Bridge Cafe in Acton, Official London 2012 Restaurant: http://bbc.in/dywEk
Sorry McDonald's, but them's the breaks.
Congratulations to Fuller's @London_Pride -- the only *official* drink of London 2012.
Sorry Coca Cola, but them's the breaks.
I love a bit of irreverence. And they are obviously unwilling to use their "massive power" to stop him because they know it would be a PR disaster

What really makes me angry is that all Londoners are paying a big chunk of the bill with their Business Rates and Council Tax, yet almost all of the games, events, festivities, building, projects and infrastructure are in North London, we in South London get almost nothing for our money, and as the budget is now 10 times the original stated one, that means we will be paying for our "Almost Nothing" for the next 100 years.

Sarf Landon has nothing to do with the London olympics, according to the organisers it does not exsist, anyone with a ticket caught south of the river will be deported immediately
