2012 OLYMPICS - London

#1 Post by Kwackerz » Tue Jul 17, 2007 8:32 pm

Tickets are now available for the following events in 2012
Olympics being held in the Olympic Village of Stratford. Please let me
know if you would like tickets - book early to avoid disappoiment.


OPENING CEREMONY
The flame will be ignited by a petrol bomb thrown by a native of
the area, in the traditional dress of balaclava and shell suit. The flame
will be contained in a large overturned Police van situated on the roof
of the stadium.

THE EVENTS
In previous Olympic Games, East London 's competitors have not
been particularly successful. In order to redress the balance, some
of the events have been altered slightly to the advantage of local
athletes.

100 METRES SPRINT
Competitors will have to hold a DVD player and microwave oven
(one in each arm) and on the sound of the starting pistol, a Police dog will
be released from a cage 10 metres behind the athletes.

110 METRES HURDLES
As above but with added obstacles (i.e. car bonnets, hedges,
garden fences, walls etc)

HAMMER
Competitors in this event may choose the type of hammer they
wish to use (claw, sledge etc) the winner will be the one who can cause the
most physical damage within three timed attempts.

FENCING
Entrants will be asked to dispose of as many stolen goods as
possible in 5 minutes.

SHOOTING
A strong challenge is expected from local men in this event. The
first target will be a moving police van. In the second round,
competitors will aim at a post office clerk, bank teller or Securicor-style
Cash-in-transit guard. The traditional .22 rifle has been replaced in this event
by a choice of either a Mac 10 or Sawn-off 12-bore shotgun.

BOXING
Entry to the boxing will be restricted to husband and wife
teams, and will take place on a Friday night. The husband will be given 15 pints
of lager while the wife will be told not to make him any tea when he gets
home. The bout will then commence.

CYCLING TIME TRIALS
Competitors will be asked to break into the University bike shed
and take an expensive mountain bike owned by some mummy's boy on his
first trip awa from home. All against the clock.

CYCLING PURSUIT
As above, but the bike will be owned by a visiting member of the
Australian rugby team, who will witness the theft.

MODERN PENTATHLON
Amended to include mugging, breaking and entering, flashing,
joyriding, arson and generally hanging around.

SWIMMING EVENTS
All waterways are currently being tested for toxicity levels,
once one is found that can support human life, swimming events will be
organized.
Please note that the Synchronised Swimming event for this year
will comprise of dropping acid and watching all the funky ripples on the pool,
the specific musical support to this event will be provided by "The Verve".

THE MARATHON
A safe route has yet to be decided.

MEN'S 50KM WALK
Unfortunately this will have to be cancelled as the Police cannot
guarantee the safety of anyone walking the streets of East London , especially anyone
that appears to be mincing.

THE CLOSING CEREMONY
Entertainment will include formation rave dancing by members of
the Stratford Health in the Community anti-drug campaigners,
synchronized rock throwing, and music by the Ilford community choir featuring the
So Solid Crew.

The flame will be extinguished by police riot water cannon
following the inevitable pitch invasion by confused West Ham organised
hooliganism club. The stadium itself will then be boarded up before the local
athletes break into it and remove all the copper piping and the central heating
boiler.

Well I won't be hanging about to watch them, going to sod off elsewhere for the duration.

I expect it'll be the usual balls up with government involved.

I could swear you live in Stratford :smt001

Trouble is, I think you were right about the swimming event...

As an aside, did they ever sort out the logo for the Olympics?

I remember a bit of kerfuffle about some of the entries, in particular the rather 'goatse'-esque entry and something that got named 'The Lisa Simpson BlowJob' cartoon.
