A Century of Olympic Game Posters.

A little known fact about me? I’m obsessed with the Olympics. Summer or Winter Games, I don’t really care. But for the two weeks they take over the airwaves I rarely leave my house or my television. I videotaped the 1992 gymnastics competition (I was 13) and re-watched it several times. Did I think the outcome would be different? Who knows. I just dig the Games that much. So you can bet when 08.08.08 rolls around I’ll be glued to my seat and wishing I were in Beijing.
