Slovog! seems to have owned your face off. Its on the floor over there... You should pick that up.

The IOC worry about other organizations being corrupt is hilarious. Maybe they were just worried someone would beat them our for gold in the corruption Olympics.

It takes a lot to out-corrupt a Daley, but by God, Rio did it.

As a Chicagoan who’s sister in law was on the committee trying to bring the 2016 games here, I always found it hilarious that one of the stated reasons the IOC was concerned about Chicago’s bid was the city’s history of corruption. Then they awarded the games to Rio.

Go Team Camry!

My bad, Brazil is the paragon of cleanliness and order. If only the rest of the world followed their lead.

But that’s the thing - they don’t even need to pick just one place. There are literally numerous cities/metro areas in the the States and Europe that have the venues and can accommodate the visitors/spectators. How many stadiums, arenas, fields, etc of professional, college, and high school teams in cities like LA,…

Team Miata.

I’m team “car I can conceivably purchase” at some point in my life.

And this just continues the shit show the hosting of the Olympics has become over the last 20 or more years. Funnel 10's of BILLIONS to your political cronies and officials to build venues and stadiums that will almost certainly NEVER be used for anything again after the games are over and just turn into unkempt…

The trash in the bay is the symptom of the problem, not the cause. If you cleaned out that bay and dumped a million gallons of bleach in it, it would be again become a polluted cesspool in no time. Brazil is a 3rd world hellhole and the Olympics should never be held in such a place.

Except it won’t be plucky contestants beating telegenic “challenges.” It’ll be watching a bed-ridden Olympian battle to keep e-coli from eating his eyeballs.

This is such an epic fail it makes the federal response to Katrina look like perfection.

Fun Fact: Zika is also sexually-transmitted. You know who has sex? A LOT of sex? Olympic athletes.

New Olympic Sport: Survival.

They’re really going ahead with this, aren’t they? Athletes competing in raw sewage, spectators flocking toward an epidemic, infrastructure collapsing in real time: It’s got the complete package. Idiocy, corruption and willful blindness. Just perfect.

No shit. The article was talking about theft...which if I have the entire bag wrapped, prevents left. Therefore, zipper on the inside/backside doesnt matter.

Because they get a cut for marketing. These “articles” are just ads.

What I’m missing? Lowepro has been selling the Flipside line of backpacks for over 5 years. Why this makes the news?

...and your spaghetti sauce in that pasta mess hanging out under the dash
