The Summer Olympics approach. The Beijing Smog dissipates to reveal a 21st Century marvel of sports and media like none other before. NBC plans to provide no less than 200+ hours of event programming DAILY through its various media channels online & on TV. And none other than the stuffy old Beeb trumps NBC in a big way here with this daring Gorillaz magical mystery tease trailer for the 2008 Olympics. Would this work on American TV?
As much media coverage as there has been about the difficult year that China has had in the run-up to the Olympics, it has enhanced the drama far more sharply than any old torch relay could. Will the algae ponds ruin the crew relays? Will the air quality force officials to cancel outdoor endurance events? Will Tibetan monks embarrass Chinese politicos? Will media coverage of the ongoing earthquake recovery efforts spoil the magic? This is supposed to be modern China's coming-out party. Will this whole event be a fiasco?
Forget about Britney Spears. Worry no more about Amy Winehouse. No more choreographed realities. Cancel the daytime soaps. VP running mates? NFL Training Camp hold-outs? Puh-leease. Get your popcorn ready. It's time for round the clock sports like we've never had before.
Hello my well-balanced Libra brother. I see that you have found the kangaroo rodeo and I'm pleased that you've been chiming in. For this experiment, feedback and interaction with curious and insightful writers is crucial. I'm creating a traveler's tale in a virtual environment about subject matter that is completely new for me. I just posted some incredible live footage and I'm about to pick up where I left off with Chef Scary. I'll be following your Olympic updates I hope and expect to hear from you again very soon...M-
