Ferret Olympics must change its name

The humorless U.S. Olympic Committee threatens a lawsuit[*1] against an Oregon woman’s ferret agility trials.

An estimated 75 ferrets will vie for medals at the Ferret Agility Trials on Sunday in events including the tube run and the paper bag escape. Only “they are not Olympians anymore,” organizer Melanee Ellis said with a laugh.

Aw, c’mon, USOC, it’s about ferrets, fer cryin out loud!
