A lot of interesting stuff gets sent to you via e-mail these days. Friday, I got one from a woman named Mary Jane Kolassa of Y Partnership, a PR firm in Florida. It reads this way:
With the Vancouver Olympics just two weeks away, members of the American Association for Nude Recreation believe it’s time to take a fresh look at the robust ways of the ancient Greeks, who performed feats of strength and skill during the first Olympics. And, to point out that the first Olympics was the earliest documented form of, you guessed it, nude recreation. In the ancient city of Olympia, the site of these first Olympics, the athletes always competed in the nude. In fact, in Greek, "gymnos" means "nude."
This Olympic moment has been brought to you by the American Association for Nude Recreation, the credible voice of reason on issues relevant to nude recreation and Nakationing in appropriate settings, serving more than 213,000 individuals who enjoy clothes-free and clothing-optional recreation throughout North America. For further information on nude recreation and the association’s affiliated clubs, contact AANR at 1-800-TRY-NUDE or visit the association’s Web site at www.aanr.com.
OK then.
"…it’s time to take a fresh look at the robust ways of the ancient Greeks, who performed feats of strength …"
They've plagiarized the mission statement set forth by the founders of Festivus. What's left for the rest of us?
"What's left for the rest of us?"
the airing of grievances of course!
