celebrities and newscasters but it would probably should have been
expected that after spending $50 billion dollars, you'd think those
Russians would have gotten something right. I like the thought of the
Olympic Village not being a total 5-star orgy but when guys have to
break down bathroom doors to make it to the mountain on time, it's a
bit of a mess
What we've heard so far are lack of lightbulb, poorly designed
bathroom plumbing, pillows being sold on the black market, falling off
door knobs, unfinished streets and a bunch of other black eyes for
Putin and his cronies.
What surprises me is that anybody was surprised by any of it.
Anybody who has ever visited countries outside of the West will know
that shortcuts are a way of life. When the IOC granted these games to
Sochi, you just knew that this was going to be a clusterf*ck mainly
because you can't get anything done in these counties without greasing
the entire machine and then still having to accept the fact it will be
done half-assed.
