In case you haven't seen the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kingstonist/4176919385/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">anti-Olympic posters</a> up around downtown, I snapped a few photos yesterday. While I support the freedom of speech angle and gentrification arguments that are being made, I find these posters embarrassing. Comparing the BC/Canada relationship to that of Israel and Palestine is beyond reaching. @That Guy The torch does come across as being futuristic, and maybe even smokable to some.
