During the Vancouver Olympics the media was flooded with branded merchandise. the message was that if you are proud of Canada, if you support our athletes then you must buy these things. This work consists of two clay turds. Each has the Vancouver Olympic logo on it. It is a show of disgust towards commerce and media. It doesn't matter what the object being sold really is as long as it carries the precious logo. Here you have the option of either a coloured or a gray turd. It is "patriotism for sale".
