1 COBRA

Winners: The criminals.

Loser: I nominate the Olympic Committee and their 2016 Olympics' dynamic site, for choosing one of the highest crime riddled cities in the world.

Good luck, tourists!

for a second I'd thought you were under the assumption that chicago won it, haha

I'm sure gov. payouts to the gangs will keep them somewhat tolerable during the olympics

I won't be going to Rio in 2016. That was my biggest concern about this bid. I like my kidneys where they are, thank you very much. I'm sad to see Chicago was not only eliminated, but done so in the first round.

1 COBRA

So it's settled. Extorsion will buy safety and kidneys will be donated.

It was an inevitable choice. As soon as I heard there was pressure to give it to Rio due to there never having been an Olympics in South America, I knew they'd be getting it. There's this idea of 'touching all the continents.'

All that's left now for the Summer Games is Africa and Antarctica. Winter has a lot more to go, Oceana, Africa, and South America... and of course, Antarctica... but I'd wonder how they'd manage to do that in those countries... Chile and a couple of NZ places might be able to pull it off... African winter games would probably not be possible, I'm bettin'...

But then... who knows?
