Interesting that they're trying to use a giant robot to boost their Olympic bid. It's cool, but don't think it's going to influence the Olympic location. I also am not sure I get the relationship between the robot and environmental "green" connection, other than it's a draw to get more people in.

You are not allowed to "squee!" unless the following conditions are met:
1) The giant robot is squeezing your last breath from you, and you are a snuff-masochist.
2) The giant robot is squeezing your last breath from you, and you are a Johnen Vazquez fan.
3) Both.

Play that video on a loop for 150 minutes and it will have a more satisfying plot than Transformers 2.
