They bundle off to Vancouver for 16 days of watching ice-skaters embarrassing themselves (http://tv.gawker.com/5472578/the-olympic-night-of-figure-skating-fail), and ruthless Russian bobsledders (http://deadspin.com/5480239/russian-bobsledder-a-little-too-pleased-by-canadian-wipeout) showing their dark sides. Oh, and they get lens-shaped thermoses.
The story goes that a Microsoft employee by the name of Josh Weisberg wandered into the Canon press tent at the Olympic Press Center, and got given a 70-200mm Canon L-series lens. Or so he thought, probably tucking it safely in his backpack before Canon realized they had gifted him a lens instead of a branded pen or hat.
I hope he wasn't too disappointed when he realized it was a thermos. I'd happily take it off his hands. [PDN Pulse (http://www.pdnpulse.com/2010/03/swag-alert-canon-white-lens-coffee-mug-.html) via CrunchGear (http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/03/03/canon-weather-sealed-70-200mm-l-coffee-thermos/)]
