The most harrowing Olympics sponsorship request yet?

(Via @kashfarooq)

Goodness! Locog madness…

I would normally assume that something so absurd was a hoax, but given that it’s the Grauniad’s tumblr doing the reblogging, they must have fact-checked it, right? Right? 

You betcha - here’s the original story about it published by the Guardian a while back in May -

To sell fish and chips, the London organising committee (Locog) had to get a special dispensation from McDonald’s, the official restaurant sponsor, which is expected to provide 10% of meals served at the Games. Under its deal with the International Olympic Committee, the fast-food chain had the sole rights to sell chips or french fries. It allows Locog’s caterers to sell fish and chips, but not chips on their own.
