Couples toilets, hotels with no lobbies, treacherous ski conditions, tiny tiny beds, sidewalks with no manhole covers, curling, dogs everywhere, whatever this guy is doing in the bottom right corner of this picture. This Olympics is gonna be one for the ages, you guys.
I can understand you wouldn't wanna put used needles down the toilet but no pissing, puking, or fishing. That's what happens when you don't get an early reservation.

maybe he's throwing some sort of bomb in the toilet, or throwing the fish he caught back
Have they awarded Team Canada men's hockey team the gold medal yet, or are they actually gonna make them play it out? This is the equivalent of the Dream Team in Basketball.
Reading the tweets from reporters already in Sochi, I would have to think that Bonnaroo would have been a good proving ground for them. Bring your own water, and plenty of baby wipes. As it turns out, "Bonnaroo" translated in Russian means, "Luxury."
Just remember, in four years the World Cup will be there, and that shit makes the Winter Olympics look like a high school track meet by comparison.
Well yeah, but it won't be limited to just one city/area.
Right, and that's my point.
They'll have to upgrade multiple cities/areas. They couldn't concentrate their resources on one city for a smaller event with about the same amount of time to prepare, and they went over $50 billion over budget. Billion!
I can't imagine they don't similarly screw up the World Cup. I'll be going to the 2022 WC, passing on the chance to shit in a bucket or whatever they'll have planned for us in 2018.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Giant wheels with lights on them, that are supposed to open and close remotely. I'm sure those ones were a bit more tricky given their size and whatnot, but it's not such an uncommon sort of display at huge events that it should work like the ceiling fan I installed in my house.
The best thing that's getting no press are the two orca whales that Russia procured which have apparently just disappeared.
Oh, and is NBC apparently just going to whitewash the problems with the Olympics? During the broadcast last night they were up front about Russia's human rights issues, etc., but made ZERO mention of any of the ongoing infrastructure issues. Most infuriating was that all the announcers (both for the event and Bob Costas) repeatedly saying that Shaun White dropped out of slope style to "concentrate on the half pipe" when White was pretty up front that it wasn't a concentration thing, it was a "this course is shoddily built and dangerous in my opinion" thing.
Are you really expecting NBC to question the teat from which they suckle?
It's just really weird that they had no problem addressing the social issues, yet won't air an American athlete's grievances about the course.
Also, the orcas thing is beyond bizarre. For those who don't know, apparently a while back the Russians captured two baby orca whales. There were plans to work them in to the opening ceremony, which eventually was changed to "have them on display" at the opening ceremony. A couple weeks ago, they were all "nah, no orcas," prompting people to start asking "well, where are these animals?" I mean, I'm sure they're long dead, but still.
The revised plan was to have them in a "small, concrete tank," which prompted animal rights groups to flip a collective shit. The fact that they're nowhere to be found doesn't bode well at all.
Not sure if it's been mentioned in here, but that dangerous course, the one White refuses to compete on, led to a top snowboarder breaking his collarbone on a test run.
