Rio Olympics is a ghost town. Officials finally admit it.

in #olympics8 years ago

Simply mindbogglingly that nobody wants to go to a thrid world hell whole.

Tickets start at $6 dollars or 6,000 bolivas(I'm not joking)

Maybe people are starting to realize that nationalism sucks and all the pageantry that Hitler invented just isn't enough to keep them interested.

....Um....Julius ceaser....enough said.

Bread and circus anyone?

Instead of > mindbogglingly instead say Mind boggling...English is weird like that, it all depends on the sentence structure.

Very good world! I would not expect people to be going to such useless events as Olympics in this time in our world...nor football game or anything....it's a political distraction (sports). Julius Cesar was a master at distracting the masses...you can read about it in Robert greenes book "the 48 laws of power"

If you think Brazil is a 3rd world "hell hole" your not going to the right places... what am I talking about of course you have never been there because you wouldn't call it that if you've been... They have serious problems but so does Detroit in the US of A

Ya they do have problems like a coup going on that didn't get mentioned or the unrest has multiplied severely since construction for the games (people kicked out of homes) I am not trying to argue that they should of hosted games with so much poverty in some areas! But calling the whole Nation a "3rd world hell hole" isn't accurate at all... my 2 cents and thanks for sharing link!
