So why's everyone so mad about the shooting stray dogs thing? Isn't that what you're supposed to do to stray dogs? I'm really not following.

You're supposed to use a spear or run them down in your truck. Bullets are inhumane.

my prediction is when it turns out that the majority of opening ceremony props are unfinished and/or stolen, they will herd all of the dogs into the arena and have them do battle with chechen workers

winner will receive olympic park after games

Guns don't kill people.

All of the medals aren't actually gold or silver or bronze anymore.

They just give you different colored track suits, and cigarettes depending on how well you did in your event.

I'm just laughing at all the 20 somethings that busted their assess for the last 4 years to finally go to the Olympics.

Stories of previous Winter Olympics float through their heads, and how this is a chance to go to a far away magical place and compete on the world stage.

And then they finally get to Sochi and all they hear is the sad trumpet wah-wah sound constantly playing in their head as they dodge wild dogs, drunken construction workers only to wind up in an Olympic dorm that is barely above what we give to inmates in US County Jails.

The articles I have read so far say that the stuff for the athletes is actually pretty good except that the beds for the hockey players were hilariously small given how big those dudes are. That was their first priority. Apparently the bottom of their hit list was where the journalists are all staying.

I really don't see how anyone is surprised by any of this. History has shown that large groups of foreigners going to Russia during the winter never turns out well.

This problem will be solved by good olde free market capitalism. You already got reporters trading light bulbs for door handles. I bet there is tons of Russians on the way over now with their cars overloaded with building supplies looking to get rich. By the time the Olympics is over everyone will have completed their own hotel rooms through black market barter. Each hotel will then promptly collapse.

For the record, Sochi was awarded the Olympics back in 2007, so you can understand how tight the deadline has been to get stuff ready.
