This is Stephen Colbert's official Olympic poster for the Vancouver 2010 games. It was designed by Shepard Fairey, the same man who created the Obama "Hope" poster for his presidential campaign. What's Colbert doing at the Olympics you ask? He became the primary sponsor for the U.S. speed skating team (including Chad Hedrick, Apolo Ohno, and Shani Davis) when he stepped in after the team's sponsor, DSB, went bankrupt and dropped their finical support in October. Colbert will be filming in Vancouver during the first week of the games and will provide commentary with Bob Costas on February 17. According to Colbert, the "C
olbert Nation" symbol will be on the skater's uniforms primarily "on their enormous, billboard thighs" which will be easy to see "because it will
be in first place".
