London 2012: Inquiry after unofficial condoms found in Olympic village

London 2012 are investigating how a bucket of unofficial condoms found its way into the athletes' village without official consent.

The Australian BMX cyclist Caroline Buchanan tweeted a photograph of the bucket, which featured a sign reading "Kangaroos condoms, for the gland downunder", and a picture of a boxing kangaroo.

She joked that bucket seemed to back up rumours that the village becomes a hot bed of activity as thousands of competitors complete their events and celebrate after years of working to get to the Olympics – tweeting: "Haha, the rumours are true. Olympic village."

Barcelona started the trend of supplying free condoms to athletes when the Spanish city held the Olympics in 1992, with the International Olympic Committee endorsing the move.

The London Olympic organisers provided 150,000 free condoms in dispensers for the 10,800 athletes at the Games, supplied by Durex which paid for the supply rights.

A Locog spokeswoman said they were trying to find out who distributed the Kangaroo condoms, with the container shown to hold condoms from Durex's rivals Ansell Ltd, an Australian company, and Pasante, a private British firm.

Vat a scandal.

I think officials should dig deep, long and hard, to get to the bottom of this.

You sound like a romance novelist, with your euphemisms that use 3 long, hard, trembling adjectives.

I bet the power lifters are responsible for most of the 'activity'.

What I'm REALLY wondering about it, why no condom commercials with a tagline of "The Official Condom Sponsor of the 2012 Olympic Games"?

Apparently, some guys when given flowers get erections.

I tend to tremble long and hard when confronted by a passionate plethora of pulsating pulchritude.

Cheers, BostonTim

I'd say it's a toss up between them and the gymnasts.

We noticed the same thing. It seems to be the fashion in men's rowing. Very strange, as is the policy of giving out flowers to men. They were clearly looking at them, going "WTF I meant to do with these?".

McKayla Maroney Not Impressed With Pool Being Closed, Memes Impressively Eating Themselves

by Andy Hutchins • Aug 11, 2012 3:22 PM EDT
It had to happen sooner or later: McKayla Maroney has summoned the ouroboros by appearing impressed with McKayla Is Not Impressed.

That's the latest Instagrammed pic from Maroney -- the real one. And it is fantastic, because it proves that teenagers who become the focal points of Internet memes for being dissatisfied for doing less than their best, which is also the best in the world, can, in fact, re-hijack their own narrative by acknowledging it with a wink.
She'd done that before, of course, but the picture takes it to the next level. It's like LeBron laughing about not having an NBA title in a McDonald's commercial.
It also allows me to do this:

Please shine on forever, McKayla Maroney.
