Rio Riot

I know this will surprise you, but Rio de Janeiro is still a Third World shithole:

Riot police fired tear gas at protesters gathered along the pathway for the Olympic torch relay as it arrived in Rio de Janeiro. Police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse a crowd of protesters, causing people, including families with children who came out to watch the Olympic torch, to run away.

Stay classy, Brazil.

It's not that I give two shakes of a broken fuckstick about the Olympics, because I assure you that I do not, but choosing to host the games in a country which is for all practical purposes one gigantic crime-ridden slum just doesn't seem real bright. I suppose the money trail would explain it... if I cared.
