Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast lost the lawsuit
brought by the U.S. Olympic Committee which "owns"
the rights to five interlocking rings (even though it was an
asian / Japanese symbol way before America ever became a country).
You all know what to say the next time someone asks for donations
to the Olympics.... ;P
