Bush Ad Ticks Off USOC
The same ad that raised the ire of the Iraqi socccer team has also upset the USOC. The US Olympic Committee demanded that the ad stop airing as they "reflect unauthorized use of Olympic images trademarks" and that the USOC never associates itself with political parties. The Bush campaign said they will not stop airing the ad until Sunday, the last day of the Olympics.
