The POW (Prince of Wales hotel) in St Kilda has hung Chinese lanterns outside, adorned the bare branches of its only tree with fake blossom, and has installed a Chinese takeaway stall outside the main bar to "celebrate the Olympics"!

Can Coles be so ignorant as to not appreciate what a slap in the face their ad is to fathers? Don't they think we go out at all hours to take our kids to sports and training on weeknights and weekends? More importantly, don't they visit their own supermarkets and look down the aisles? We shop too.... just not at Coles anymore. Am I the only person to have noted that the “unsung heros” in the Coles Olympic ad are all Mums?

During the Sydney Olympics, you couldn't get away from Qantas ads featuring Olympic athletes at bus stops all around the city. But it was Ansett who'd paid for the privilege of official sponsorship - a decision that probably contributed to their collapse soon afterwards.<br /> Our own version, of course, took place back in 2000.
