Since we all overlook their codified oppression and medieval cruelty in their justice system anyway, I'd like to see them get it. They'd build some incredible facilities and would have the most lavish and overproduced opening ceremonies.

They could even borrow the slave workforce that's building stadiums in Qatar for World Cup 2022... if any survive of course.

Not the medal. That thing that looks like a knick-knack for an executive's desk. Like it belongs right next to the Newton's cradle.

Aren't uneven teeth considered attractive in Japan? That's why they have so many snaggle-toothed anime girls.

I caught that too, you could almost hear the subsequent *gulp* when someone whispered to him that he was still on air. CBC didn't follow up with anything about it so I guess they're just going to try and bury it until someone gets internet mad and raises a fuss. Hopefully they keep that commentator around, despite being kind of nasally he's got a lot of interesting stuff to say, especially since Elliot Freedman obviously doesn't have a clue on what he's watching.

I'm sure they do this all the time but I like to imagine it's just a Rio thing and they have to clean all the poo poo off their boats after every race :cocaine: (I was too lazy to find the proper poo smiley so just pretend that's powdered steroids or something).

Now security themselves is molesting people.

A private security guard at Rio's Olympic Park has been arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting a female firefighter while she slept, police said Monday.

"A security agent from a company working at the velodrome in the Olympic Park was caught red-handed" on Sunday, the police statement said.

He was accused of molesting the woman while she slept 'and could not offer resistance'.

....

Brazil suffers high levels of violence against women, with statistics suggesting that in 2014 a sexual assault took place on average every 11 minutes.

I was like "oh it must be cold there today" then the aussies came out in their normal bikinis.

I don't get why everyone doesn't do what the netherlands does, wouldn't it reduce the chance of rashes from the sand? (or getting cut by broken glass) I mean you'd probably get sand loving everywhere and wearing just a bikini it would be easier to de-sandify.

you're not gay are you?
























j/k i didn't see any pics of this but i dont believe that a bikini is essential to looking good, see Examples A and B below

I think it's mostly because it's a sport played with one ball where the objective is to volley the ball back and forth without it touching the ground.

To volley is to discharge a plural amount missiles (in this case a ball) simultaneously. The point remains that this sport should be renamed Hitler by the IOC.
