Sounds like the 2016 Olympic Summer Games are going to be a mess, if not a disaster :crazy2:  Here's hoping Brazil can get their sh*t together and out of the swimming/boating venues before the games start.  Like 0bama can make Jimmy Carter look good, Rio de Janeiro may end up making the '96 Atlanta Games look great.  >:D

^ Ha! Nobody can make Carter look good. And I think disaster is a good word for the 2016 Olympic Games.  :P

[edit] Hillary might make Carter look good.  :(

I don't know why, but I just am not getting excited about this Olympics.  Maybe just too early.

I've been more focused on the soccer tournaments this summer, so I might catch up to the Olympics at some point...

The Olympics are such a money grabbing scam.

I stopped being a fan of the Olympics back during the Seoul summer games. NBC caught a lot of flak because of the ridiculous amount of commercials they decided to play. Ever since then there's been ongoing reports about how corrupt the Olympic Committee is, and when shitholes like Brazil and Sochi get them, you KNOW money, favors, and/or anal orifice fluids are being exchanged.

I'll go ahead and say it: the Olympics are more corrupt than the Clintons. And THAT'S saying something! (shiver)
