Pretty hard to tell him that from the jail cell you'd be in. I'd stroke his ego and skim some sweet cash off the top.

I meant like corporations withdrawing sponsorships and sports teams not going, but I guess some anecdotes about there not being very many visitors are just as good.

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: `My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away".

I think a lot of that is connected to the IOC itself... and also most of the sponsors are giant companies that probably spent millions to claim the rights. Don't worry, I am sure Rio 2016 will be a giant poo poo show as well.

How many crossdressing dancers will there be in Rio's opening ceremony? Will it be commented on as a big gently caress you to Russia's current anti-gay issues?

While at work today I had a thought: what if this is some kind of russian humor joke and we just don't get it (i certainly don't get it.) like, meta/irony pumped up to 11 and then spray-painted white to look like snow. either that or (more likely imo) whoever planned this debacle was drunk as poo poo (nice location!) nice thread going on here - 5/5.

Yes, it's a joke known as 'corruption and embezzlement' where corrupt assholes hire unqualified poor yokels to slap together a shoddy rushed construction where they're explicitly told/bullied to cut corners as quickly as possible to finish, and then after paying the exploited yokels poo poo wages (if they even get paid at all) run off with the money.

CLAM DOWN posted:what the gently caress kind of Russian super-bus is this?! The shape helps it double for dog killing as well as peasant plowing. The low pointed extrusion is the scientific height to brain most dogs. And the sleek swept back higher parts makes it hard for ordinary peasants from getting hand holds when trying to sell the occupants potatos as you push them gently aside at 60mph.

I'd be interested in finding out later on if any Olympic athletes after enduring the "Sochi experience" wish they'd decided to boycott the games because of the bullet they would have dodged. Seems like they made the right decision.

I wonder how long after the Olympics the sextapes of the athletes will come out, I mean the Russians have basically confirmed that they have cameras everywhere and someone will probably sell all the sextapes for a quick buck.

So there was some talk about there being something "dangerous" in the tap water, I wonder what could it be?wikipedia posted:Geologist Dr Sergei Volkov has fled to Ukraine after speaking out about environmental and geological problems. He states that mercury and uranium deposits, as well as the probability of landslides, make the location of the games hazardous. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerns_and_controversies_at_the_2014_Winter_Olympics e: this as well: quote:On 29 October 2013 it was reported that Russia broke its 'Zero Waste' Olympic Pledge, as it emerged that Russia's state-owned rail monopoly is dumping tons of construction waste into an illegal landfill, raising concerns of possible contamination in the water that directly supplies Sochi. weirdly chilly pussy fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Feb 7, 2014 |
