I hear that Team GB’s female beach volleyball champions are renting out their rears in an advertising deal that encourages spectators, and the world’s media, to photograph their behinds during the 2012 Olympics.
Our girls will be wearing bikini briefs with a Quick Response (QR) code printed on the back to catch the eye of spectators. When photographed on a smartphone, the code takes the user to a mobile website — in this case, for bookmakers Betfair. Read more
There are plans to produce a commemorative calendar for the Donkey Parade.
