First there was a internal competition, São Paulo x Rio, they got rid of São Paulo because our Governor is from an opposition party... now you see corruption everywhere.

And yes, Rio must have paid to get chosen, it's a shit city after all.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

The best part is that you'd have to be swimming to see those signs. I love it.

If the competitors survived Beijing's horrible air, they can surely hold their breath a little when swimming in the sewage.

The water in Beijing was horrible, too. Credit where it's due.
They needed tens of thousands of "volunteers" to make it slightly less nightmarish.

That reminds me of the prelude to the Beijing Olympics, and the photos of their canals in full algae bloom with swimmers coming to the surface with bunches of algae on their heads.

This isn't surprising at all coming from someone born and raised in Ipanema.
Yep, the old and typical local inferiority nonsense. Whoever thinks Ipanema/Rio is a shithole needs a reality check about the rest of the world.

Honestly Rio is tough, absolutely, but the "vira lata" inferiority complex as they say is really, really strong.
 
Nasty. And aside from virus and bacteria, there are likely chemicals from all sorts of nice garbage decomposing in there. And dont forget the plastic

However, Dr. Richard Budgett, the medical director for the International Olympic Committee, said after seeing the AP findings that the IOC and Brazilian authorities should stick to their program of testing only for bacteria to determine whether the water is safe for athletes.
What the hell? The water is found to have a million or more times the accepted safe level of viruses, and their response is, "only test for bacteria"? As if not testing for viruses somehow makes them not cause infection.
