Don't the Retailers know the Beijing Olympics are on??

You couldn't imagine how many stores and outlets had zero 2008 Beijing Olympic products here in my metropolitan area. Amazing. Had to get pretty creative. Anyone else have problems finding stuff?
All the managers that I spoke to said that the goodies will come in 2 wks after the Olympics are over! I guess they're waiting to see who gets what medals but I think they could have been selling a bunch of stuff with the just the logo on it. Coke was the only thing I found w/the emblem/logo.
Still had a lot of fun putting together my sporty little gift for my Secret Pal though!
