I passed this on the way into the office this morning. Question: Is it the work of marauding protesters hell-bent on disrupting the Olympics? Or has VANOC come up with a new way to combat Olympic ambush marketing? One can almost imagine official paint-bomb squads fanning out across the city on the hunt for counterfeit Quatchis and unlicensed Olympic O’s, like these ones, which have been hanging in this eyeglass store on Denman St. for the last couple of weeks.
