Not backing the bid?

Why not text PARIS to 82012?

(Or the name of any other city you want to be left paying for a multi-billion pound white elephant that'll make the Millennium Dome look like a bargain...)

Why not text PARIS to 82012?

Because I like Paris. And I don't much like London.

New York, Madrid, Moscow?

Of course if London gets it, we'll all rent out our houses and come stay in Edinburgh for a month...

The thing with Paris is, the IOC wants Paris to have it, as it's the centenary of the death of the chap who founded the modern Olympics, so we might as well let them have fun...

Well, since there's no option given anywhere to text (for example) "not London" to the number, it was suggested (I think at http://hackthebid.org) that the actual text is ignored, and they just count the number of messages they get as supporters.

Yeah, I noticed that, but it worked last week, so I though I'd post it anyway.
