Nah. we all know NBC did what they did purely for greed. They just wanted to show it during the time frame they figured would have the most viewers and have the ability to throw shitloads of advertising in the mix because "OMG I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COKE/MCDONALDS/CHEVY/OTHER SPONSOR BECAUSE GODDAMN SELL SELL SELL BUY BUY BUY gently caress YOU"

They're using the olympics to sell products? Shameful

Without reading the article my comedy question is: Do their legs/arms secretly actually work?

There was one at the volley ball too. An uneducated and uninformed guess would be a nongoon by the name of 'Rohan'. If knowing that bastard and every live event I've been with him at. Can't see poo poo in them and great for a sneaky face smack.

Sorry if my post was vague. It was in response to the article and twits therein

UPDATE: It time for the pool! Commentators saying "its very tough being the first in the pool"

The Medley will now include a 48 hour incubation period. It no longer the fastest, it's the last to die from anit-biotic resistant diseases.

UPDATE 2: Aussies won the first heat on Medley - being chased by sharks has its advantage in training.

Bribery on both sides confirmed, so who is next in line for brazil prez?

Interim president Michel Temer was accused of bribery and providing illegal payments to members of his government, according to legal documents obtained by Brazilian media outlet Veja. A report published by Veja on Friday included official plea bargain testimony by Marcelo Odecrecht, a former executive at the Odebrecht construction company, who accuses Temer of soliciting bribes.

.....

Odececht claims that his firm issued cash payments in the months of August and September of that same year, totaling $3.1 million. Obdececht’s testimony goes on to allege that $1.2 million went to Eliseu Padilha, Temer’s current chief of staff, and the additional $1.8 million was received by Paulo Skaf, president of the influential Sao Paulo industry federation.

According to the legal records, the cash transfer of $3.1 million, was later registered in the Odebrecht accounting department, under a division of the finance wing known as the “kickback department.”

There's like a billion different bacteria in a liter of water including a super bacteria that's immune to antibiotics because of all the medical waste. No one's quite sure what damage is to come except that a few athletes have had to seek medical attntion as a result

One neat trick to disable commentary if you have 5.1, Disable the center channel audio line on a 5.1 surround sound system to mute the Olympic commentary.

Yeah it's normal, long tradition in cycle racing of fans being able to get up close, personally yell at your favorite dudes, etc. Just supposed to stay the gently caress outta the way.
