Globe and Mail Project: #61, SPEED SKATING COWS DISQUALIFIED FOR TOO MANY LEGS

(click on image to view larger version)

Despite being crowd favorites at the Olympic Oval, speed skating
cows have been disqualified from competition. "It is impossible
to establish a level playing field in this event, since the two
extra legs give the cows a distinct advantage", said one IOC official.
A spokesman from VANOC added that the cow-pies on the ice and the
excessive levels of methane gas in the oval were not in keeping
with the "green" mandate of these games.

Product Placement, pages A8, A9

Curiously, the Globe's feature photo's by Peter Power in Haiti are paired with a huge colour Lexus ad: TOTAL FREEDOM MAY BE THE GREATEST LUXURY OF ALL. The images of crowded refugee camps with the title Struggles to get food, find shelter and survive, are juxtaposed with the 7 person luxury vehicle in a beautiful snowy mountain scene with not a person (not even a driver) in sight.

Today's Globe, (Jan 19) has another photo feature by Power on pages A8,A9: Where food and water are worth fighting for , and an article on congested airspace. There is a picture of a crowded market place where people are grabbing whatever they can and an armed soldier aiming a kick at a running boy. This enveloped by a full page American Express ad that says: Tired of standing in Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine?
