Kooks Song Caught Up In Olympic Games Controversy
Two team mates in Britain's Olympic sailing squad have been forced to change the name of their boat after officials at the games deemed it inappropriate.
Ben Rhodes and Stevie Morrison were told their boat, Jackie Big Tits, named after a song by the Kooks, was not suitable for the games, which get underway in China next month.
The duo have a long tradition of naming their vessel after musical inspirations, with past names including "a boat called Britney and another named Sally Cinnamon."
Apparently, according to Morrison, "It's not the same if your boat just has a number, is it?"
