Sochi 2014

Worth watching for the funnies.

Worth boycotting for the ending.

Or worth boycotting for the hundreds of thousands of human rights violations?

Fifty billion dollars, and they can't give Alex Ovechkin a single room? That's a travesty right there.

I hear the press corps have been underwhelmed with the accommodations.

The Putiniks are doing a great job of convincing the Ukrainians that they would be better off if they were more like Russia and less like Europe.

Not working out well at all for Putin, not well at all.

I have to admit I'm enjoying watching this debacle unfold for Putin. It would be understandable if they hadn't spent 51 Billion dollars on it.

Fuck Putin, and fuck the Olympics.

They chose to send the games to a hellhole.

Snowboarding star Shaun White announced Wednesday he will not compete in the slopestyle event debuting in the Sochi games, citing the risk of injury associated with the course.

“After much deliberation with my team, I have made the decision to focus solely on trying to bring home the third straight gold medal in halfpipe for Team USA,” White told TODAY in a statement. “The difficult decision to forego slopestyle is not one I take lightly as I know how much effort everyone has put into holding the slopestyle event for the first time in Olympic history, a history I had planned on being a part of.

the journalists are cracking me up.

One of the Norwegians broke his collar bone on Monday. Craziness.

Depending on the source, it would seem at least half of the 51 billion never made it to Sochi. Instead it lines the pockets of political cronies, mafia, and ex KGB types (one and the same I guess).

It is somewhat comforting knowing the good old USA does not own the political corruption market.

As there are no gay people in Sochi, I have no idea what you're on about.

Stray dogs is a euphemism for Jews.

well, they've already saved the streets from the gays.

I laughed when I read the one by the female reporter about having no water in her room, but it may be restored soon. However, was told my hotel staff: "Do not use on your face as it has something dangerous in it". Later, she tweeted a photo of two glasses filled with urine coloured water. Good news: water is on. I now know what dangerous face water looks like. ROTFLMAO!

 

[Wrong Element]

Where's Renard? We need someone in here defending this impending crapfest on ice.

 

[islandman]

What's important to keep in mind is that Putin has tamed nature itself.

Socialism at its finest!

Reading the comments in that news article made me laugh.

It's all Obama's fault apparently.

is chobani a certified dairy importer? i don't see how the russians can be blamed for this company's clear lack of initiative in adhering with russian import regulations and guidelines. certain goods are not permitted to enter the US, olympics or no olympics. it shouldn't be any different in russia. calling the president to deal with a private company's lack of responsibility regarding the export of their goods is a waste of the president's time.
