Olympics Trailer Sparks an Animated Discussion (Video)

New promo for the 2012 Olympic games has an eerily familiar feeling

With the 2012 Olympics set to begin in London in less than a month, BBC Sport has released a trailer for the upcoming games, and while it's inspirational on a number of levels, it largely inspires the question, "Where have I seen this before?"

The animated spot contains all of the heart-swelling elements that an Olympics ad should include: Athletes performing at their prime, a string-laden, inspirational soundtrack, and a reminder of when and where the event will take place.

It also bears an uncanny resemblance to all of those animated Taiwanese news reports that so amusingly explain the day's pop-culture phenomena.

Gear up for the Olympic games by watching the trailer — and see if you don't notice the resemblance yourself.
