    Google are also avoiding any Paralympic banner...

    Then we'd better get a hate campaign going for them as well! How many posts are we away from Martin being compared to Hitler do you reckon?

    Quite a significant lot I imagine, though certainly not in this thread, whether or not you try and start the ball rolling with the inclusion of "Martin","hate campaign" and "Hitler".

    I quite liked the john lewis' idea of wrapping their store with a giant Union flag and a gold medal for the olympics and paralympics event. They made no distinction. Sometimes it is better that way.

    Its strange there was no copyright issues in having an Olympic themed banner, yet they see an issue with a Paralympic one. It does sound like a weak excuse for forgetfulness.

    I personally had no interest in the Olympics or Paralympics, but if MSE were prepared to show such support for the Olympics, it seems only right they offer the same for the Paralympics.

    Keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow !!!

    So you think that MSE are purposefully taking a stance against the paralympics? Do you realise how ridiculous that sounds?
