They're furiously trying to make him a retroactive ambassador so he can claim diplomatic immunity. They can't allow some broken down country in the poor half of the world try and dictate the actions of their people!

not a crime in the USA at least, you can lie to the cops all you want

Absolutely not loving true in the least. If you lie to the cops in the course of an investigation, you can absolutely go to prison for it. For example, if you're stopped on the street for a legitimate purpose (Terry stop), and the cop asks you who you are, and you lie, you can be arrested; you're not required to carry identification but you're not allowed to provide a false identification. Lying to the cops can be obstruction of justice, it can be making false statements, it could even be accessory after the fact if you're doing it to conceal someone else's crime.

Martha Stewart didn't go to Federal PMITA Prison because of insider trading, she was convicted of making false statements to the cops.

Report: Rio police exaggerated their version of Ryan Lochte events, too

There is no evidence Ryan Lochte or his three U.S. swimming teammates ever entered — let alone damaged — a bathroom at the gas station where a late-night rest stop exploded into an international incident at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics last week, according to a USA Today report on Monday night.

Conger and Bentz were not charged with a crime for their roles in the incident, but Feigen donated $11,000 to charity in order to avoid charges and Lochte — home safely in the U.S. — still faces charges and the court of public opinion.

wtf is a precure, is it a treatment for pedophilia ?

e: CRAYON 2DWAIFU PISS

It's animated Power Rangers for girls with a new series every year like clockwork. It's fairly iconic in Japan. All of the series shown there are fairly iconic outside of Japan (I assume Shin-chan and Precure have some sort of large East Asian following or at least Precure was included to try and mitigate any sexism claims). Pokemon would probably have also been there, but I imagine Nintendo declined to do any sponsorship deals like the other associated companies.

I'm sure there'll be Olympics porn parodies made though in time come 2020.

Would not have been surprised if the Irish government did try and pull this.

The Irish establishment is loving livid that one of their own got arrested on tape, got their head shaved in custody and actually faces jail time if convicted. In Ireland he would have been arrested by appointment (lawyers in tow), probably been given tea in the station and released after 24 hours or so. Then a public inquiry would occur where no one would be on trial/convicted of anything. The papers are bleating on about this poor old man who's still innocent as of now, being treated like an animal in Brazil. Everyone else pretty much thinks Brazilian police should be brought over, despite all the extra judicial murders. Maybe even because of them.

Final NBC numbers ratings are in, they suck.

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2016/08/23/summer-olympics-are-the-lowest-rated-and-least-watched-since-2000/

In adults 18-49, NBC’s coverage averaged a 6.9 rating, a 27 percent drop from the 9.5 for London 2012. They’re also lower than the 7.5 average for the NBA Finals in June.

I'm more interested to see the streaming numbers for BBC and CBC if they release them.

"More than 150 million unique viewers in the UK used the BBC's streaming service to watch the Olympics. An impressive number that exceeded their expectations being there's only 64 million people in the UK."
