(And yes I know the one we did in 2009 was also for 2020 however the co-hosting plan by Jerusalem and Baghdad didn’t work out, yada yada yada whatever)
The set up –
The IOC is bored. Apart from Rome the 2020 bids are all recent bidders and Jacques is not amused.
Luckily for us he has choked on popcorn while watching ‘Tintin’ and Dick Pound has taken over the IOC leadership! He has dismissed out of hand all the 2020 bidders and is demanding the Games go somewhere utterly stupid to prove his ultimate point – it doesn’t matter where you stage the Games as Coke and McDonalds will drop a bundle to make sure their association with the event doesn’t turn into a advertising nightmare!
He has put together a list of cities that he demands must host the Games - all of them fetid, rat arse helll holes. Your job is to pick a city and with your imagination you must transform it into a not exactly bid worthy place.
Your choices are -
Sirte, LIBYA
Kirkuk, IRAQ
Abuja, NIGERIA
Dushanbe, TAJIKISTAN
Brisbane, AUSTRALIA
Nouakchott, MAURITANIA
Sana’a, YEMEN
Toronto, CANADA
Kinshasa, DEMOCRATIC BLAH BLAH BLAH CONGO
CAF’s Backyard, GERMANY
Baku, AZERBAIJAN
Bhopal, INDIA
Others may be considered only if they are truly pointless/evil enough.
So claim a city, gimme a logo, post a one page outline (jpeg or pdf preferred) and I'll send them off to Dick with a sternly worded letter about wasteful spending by the Qataris!
If you want to go all over the top and submit a 20page rendering fiesta - email it to me at nyc2012@gmail.com (put 2020 bid as the header)
A report will be issued once the applicant stage is done and we will vote and send that recommendation to the IOC via carrier pigeon.
Over the falklands?
