Oh, Oh - An Olympic No-No.

Chicago wants to host the Olympics in 2016, and has been jumping through hoops to get it. I believe the Olympic Flag shows the last 5 hoops we must jump through.

The latest hoop is that we must ditch our custom symbol for our Host-The-Games campaign. It showed a torch whose flames were our skyline.

This isn't the first time these people have interfered with local institutions.

We have a comedy club here that called itself the Improv Olympic. But they can't call it that anymore. They were reduced to advertising as iO. Their name got sued away by Olympic Lawyers.

Had the club truly infringed?
Or were the lawyers unhinged?
