the games

[Catherine Driscoll]

hi rob and all
i certainly agree that _the games_ is a brilliant take on 'the games', but 
it's weird too because it hardly feels like an expose -- just as i think 
it's a brilliant parody it turns out to be inadequate to the relentless 
stupidity of games' promotion
i wish i believed australians were in general turning their much-hyped 
cynicism on all things olympic
but
i see way more thorpe-worship and freeman-patronage than criticism of the 
olympics
the olympic athlete as superhero-next-door is really getting me down
