The UK Olympics Bill (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/olympics_2012/4744983.stm) bans the use of the words "Olympic", "London", "2012", "gold", "silver", "bronze", "medal", "games", "sponsor", and "summer" by any advertiser not an official sponsor of the Olympic Games, in any form of advertising.
