Honestly, I think the crime news coming out of Chicago did them in at the last minute.

Tokyo is the safest city of the finalists, by far. Madrid just has lots of pickpockets.

Rio is notorious for crime of all kinds. If Rio is the place, then crime there might actually go down with all of the security that will have to be put in place. Once you are outside of the Olympic venues you had better not be carrying anything valuable, though, even on the beach!

For some reason, the song "Girl From Ipanema" keeps playing in my head!

BTW, the bar that song was written in is still around, or was the last time I was in Rio. Kind of a funky place, as is the neighborhood.

Yeah, this new persona you have invented is much more intellectual and world traveled than your last. :roll:

thank god... Chicago didnt need to spend the money on no return.

didn't they blow $100M on the bid?

Chicago?s bid leaders had worked for nearly four years and spent close to $50 million to bring the Olympics to the United States for the first time in 20 years.

Both have beautiful women, but Rio women are much friendlier and you have the absolutely fantastic beaches to check them out.

but half of them have penises

You can get anything you want there, that's for sure!

While Madrid has a lot of great places to go in the center city it is quite a sedate city.

Rio de Janeiro, on the other hand, is definitely one of the wildest places on the planet.

I'm kind of glad. Daley and his ever-increasing "family" doesn't need anymore money.

I would have voted for Rio in a heartbeat if I were on the panel.

Go Rio, keep the games in a US-shared time zone.

They're going to have to if the IOC wants to receive anything more than a couple dimes and some pocket lint from a US broadcaster for the rights.

 

[DivideBYZero]

Go Rio!

Chicago demands a recount!!!!

That's a hell of a thing to find on a beautiful woman.

That's what comes from spending half your waking hours doing 4chan.

Yay, now maybe Obama will realize he's not as popular as HE thinks he is and start fixing the US economy and create some jobs like he said.

People actually voted for him because of that?

 

[Locut0s]

I've been rooting for Rio to get it since the beginning. South America deserves to host something like this for once. It should go to more developing nations.

Or maybe Chicago needs to take care of its gang-culture and not murder honor students within a week of the decision.

 

[Miramonti]

Let's see...kidnapped or shot in Rio, or pick-pocketed or blown up in Madrid...

I'd have to take my chances in Madrid.

Waiting for xPOTUS Carter to declare the IOC as racist.
