Steve Smith also designed the “Naked Games” and “Sappho’s Games” issue for the Olympic Games 1996 in Atlanta, USA.
Steve Smith, the designer of these "stamps", says: Nude Down Under, Sydney 2000 Naturally Informed sources tell us that concern over shenanigans within the International Oligarchic Committee has lead Australian renegades to break with that organization and sponsor their own games, pledging full disclosure, starting with the athletes ! By abandoning sponsors and spandex, these competitive naturalists may have broken with the IOC but not with tradition, as the original games in Greece were played naturally, in the nude. If our're going to Sydney, stock up on sunscreen. If you want to enjoy the games from afar, you'll see more here at Art Gone Postal than on CNN and ESPN combined. (Legal disclaimer for the humor - impaired, - particularly any lawyers from CNN, ESPN or the IOC - : this is a joke.)
