So much noise about the Beijing Olympics...will people burn out?
Continuing with our feature on Olympics-related communications, in this episode I ask "When will people have enough of the Olympic hype?". In the last episode the topic was how non-Olympic sponsors could take advantage of the Olympic hype... if everyone is screaming about how their product is tied to the Olympics, when will people stop listening? A PR exec from Ketchum Newscan is added to our list of the usual suspects, including China PR blogger Imagethief and CEO JWT Greater China Tom Doctoroff.

can't listen tot he podcast, but there is a HUGE gulf between the hype that foreigners in china or people in other countries can take and what mainland chinese can.

+ Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet.
+ David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
