London Olympics
Who is fired up? Who will be watching?
I love the Olympics and I am really looking forward to it. Maybe more than Beijing where everything was so controlled.
Gruen Sweat: July 25
Gruen Sweat makes its premiere tonight as Wil Anderson, Todd Sampson and Russel Howcroft commentate on the ‘brandtathlon’ better known as London 2012.
They will be joined by Jane Flemming, now a sponsorship and marketing specialist and Steve Moneghetti, who now makes his living advising athletes and sports organisations.
In tonight’s episode the GRUEN team examine:
? IOC – does it stand for “Iron-fisted Omnipresent Control”? The team examines the crazy lengths taken to protect official sponsors in London during the Games. Freeze – It’s the Brand Police!
? Olympic PR 101 – Aussie athletes and social media stuff ups. Are their responses worse than the original mistakes?
? Our Aussie athletes – what to do if the “naughty kids” win Gold for Australia?
? Personal Worst – each week the Gruen team will showcase the WORST performances by athletes in TV commercials. Front runner for tonight? Canadian drug cheat, sprinter Ben Johnson, and his energy drink ad. It’s BAD!
? THE PITCH – Shani Langy (Play Communication) vs Andrew Turley (Convert)
The challenge: A campaign to convince Australians that a 100% tolerance, all-drugs-are-okay, performance-enhanced Olympics is the only way forward.

Can't wait! Gonna wake up at 5:30 to catch the opening ceremony. Of course many people say that you can just wait and watch the highlights but this is a spectacle that's got to be enjoyed live.
Ah great a fellow fan. I'd like to share it with Titans fans. Im sure there will be ALOT to talk about going through the Olympics.
I think the British will go well, unfortunately probably well in sailing and cycling which will cut our grass.
But I wonder what has happened to the Olympic budgets of nations hit bad by the GFC.
Opening ceremony at 5:30am.
Nearly TIME!
Just saw the Red Arrows do a fly past. RED BLUE and WHITE smoke. Very cool.
If Tom Baker or Mr Humphreys doesnt lite the cauldron I will be disappointed.
Loving the history lesson at the moment ;)
Me too love it. Not some flashy bull****.
Britain have heaps to be proud of. Its so British.
Amazing culture. But we dont hear about it because they dont pump up their own tyres like the Yanks.
