Slippery when wet...

What do you do if you're a multi-million dollar company sponsoring one of the world's most popular and fastest marathons and it rains during the event? Why, you place a bunch of your plastic logo'ed mats in the finish line and see what happens when the winner crosses.

As a runner myself, I don't think this is really funny. It is utter stupidity on the part of the event organizers. Haven't anybody learned from the many lawsuits of the 80's and 90's that spurred the bright orange "slippery when wet" signs in supermarkets and "beverage may be hot" warnings on coffee cups? Way to go, LaSalle Bank!
